My husband and I have been trying to sell ours for years. We’ve tried Timeshares Only and Jared Ryan Properties with no luck. (Not to mention he’s been trying to sell it since before we met so I don’t know who else he’s tried.) Anyway, we aren’t trying to make money on it, we just want sell it for a reasonable amount. If there is anyone who has sold theirs or has any info that would be useful I would appreciate it. Thanks

most realtors or sellers on the web want money upfront and I have heard they are not the best way to go. Has anyone sold a timeshare through an agency or online?

Husband & I have owned timeshare for 6 years and owe a little over k on it.
It’s a deeded timeshare @ Harborside Atlantis Resort on Paradise Island, Bahamas.
We did the financing directly through the property through Starwood.
I’m afraid that we cant’ sell it because we owe money on it and I’m afraid if I go through one of those internet timeshare brokers like sellyourtimeshare.com will scam me in the end. Starwoods mailing address is in Florida. I was thinking I could treat this like real estate, put it on the market, go through and agent and have the moneys be transferred through a title company. Is this how it would work?
Also, what timeshare web sites offer commission and listing free advertising until after the timeshare sells.
Would it be possible; to sell it for under what we owe (being the market stinks and its saturated) and have a few thousand dollars left to pay after we sell it or at closing?

Despite the fact that they cannot afford it, my parents have been involved with a timeshare for several years now.
My response has always been for them to accept the sunk cost and just dump it. But she has been indicating that they actually owe them money (in addition to the regular monthly costs).
How can I help my parents improve, if not eliminate, their time share problem?

I have a Timeshare membership with Vacation Brokers Int. Inc. (a Toronto based company) and wish to dispose of this, as we have never used it, and probably will not in the future. Basically it was a good idea at the time, but our curcumstances changed within a few weeks of buying this. Since we decided to sell it, practically anyone intersted in selling it for us wants money up front to advertise it on the web.

They have called me and said they have a buyer, but they need me to send them money to make sure I will not back out of selling it. They did say the money would be refunded when the sale was completed. Should I trust this company?

My family is under a tough time now. We have 2 little girls, we just bought our first home, and suddenly financial troubles hit. I lost my job, and although I am looking, I can’t find another one. We have this timeshare that we have to make payments on every month. It’s frustrating because we don’t want the timeshare and we can’t even afford to use it. We need the money to pay our bills. We just need to sell the timeshare, but we don’t know what site will sell it fast. Please help.

I bought a timeshare a year ago. I never have used it and I don’t see using it anytime in the future, because I never have any money left over to pay for getting to the place, food while I’m there, etc. I’m looking for a low cost way of just breaking even on how much I owe on the time share.

I have a family member who wants to sell their time share. I know there are brokers but they would like to try on their own first. Listing it is easy but what legal paper work do they need to have or do in order to complete that process?
Goz – first off it is in a hot place – second the point of selling it is to make some money back – not necessarily a profit – but some money back – gifting it to family does nothing…second – that wasn’t an answer that was just an answer for the two points – if you have nothing to add please don’t wast the space.

I have a timeshare in florida and we never use it and the bill every month is starting to be a nuisance. And every time i call the timeshare place to see what i can do to sell it, they tell me that i should give them more of my money to sell it for me. I was wondering if there’s a cheaper (free would be great) way to sell it since i live in ohio and don’t have the money to go down there personally to try to sell it.

I have a timeshare my wife and i purchased a few years ago in Las Vegas (Sunterra). It’s a point system type timeshare and we really want to get ride of it. What’s the best way to sell it. Were not looking to make any money on this thing we just want out from under it. We own it upright, however there is a yearly mantanince fee.

I am trying to sell our timeshare without putting any money upfront. It is a Wyndom property and from everyone we’ve alked to they are a nice property. It is on a point system, but every company I’ve talked to wants anywhere from 0 – 0 upfront and that makes me pretty nervous. Has anyone had any luck before?
