Why should you sell your timeshare yourself?
Today there are so many free and/or cheap ways to advertise a timeshare for sale online that there’s virtually no reason to hire a middleman that also needs to make a profit.
So, what’s the downside? It takes time to list a timeshare for sale, screen calls, explain benefits, and negotiate for the sale price. There’s also the comfort factor – the selling process can be a little intimidating.
If you’re interested in selling your timeshare by owner but it’s your first time, or if you would like more information, our guide: How to Sell a Timeshare Yourself offers step-by-step expert advice on the entire selling process, including pricing your timeshare for sale, choosing correct advertising, writing an ad, finding a buyer and closing the deal.
Typically and owner knows much more about what they own then any real estate agent or broker.
Another option for a private sale is selling to someone you know, like a family member or friend. This type of sale often eases some of the intimidation, but it has the potential to make the negotiation process harder. You may be less willing to drive a hard bargain when you know the buyer.
The bottom line: If you feel comfortable selling or are willing to learn, selling your timeshare yourself may be your best option.
