RULES OF ENGAGEMENT WHEN WORKING WITH RESALE ORGANIZATIONS
#1 Rule
Make sure you confirm the firm you are speaking with is Licensed as a Commercial Telephone Seller and is a Bonded firm.
Rule #2
Be wary of companies offering gimmicks, such as money-back guarantees, in order to get your listing fee and say it WILL be sold within 30 to 45 days.
Rule #3
Resale of property is not an overnight process. Do not expect immediate results, but don’t hesitate to check on the progress your company is making on reselling or renting. MAKE sure the firm has an Incorporated Advertising Firm and not just some good name they marketed to you.
Rule #4
A firm engaged in timeshare resale activities shall not require an appraisal of the timeshare interest as a condition of accepting the listing.
Rule#5
Most people look at timeshare like normal real estate.
However, it is FAR from it. So DON’T.
Normal real estate is that of a product that is a necessity not a pure luxury.
Whereas timeshare is a pure luxury and an expensive one if that.
Putting a 3-line text ad in the local newspaper is NOT going to sell a timeshare. So, don’t let yourself get sold on that idea.
Oh…would you want to get paid $270 for working harder then selling a residential home? So don’t expect normal real estate licensed pro’s either
Rule#6
Did you pay cash?
DON’T expect any prospects to pay CASH for your timeshare resell either!
Make sure you confirm with any firm you are working with that they have a legitimate relationship with Licensed Financial Professionals.
At BEST, they should have some type in-house documents they can send you to show this. So, why not ask?
Rule#7
If you are working with someone over the phone…Make sure the firm has you go through a recorded call for verification purposes to verify all that they are going to do for you.
Timeshare Buyer FAQs
What is a Timeshare?
A timeshare is a form of vacation ownership property in which the owner has a deeded or right to use agreement with a resort for a designated period of time. Timeshares have become a great alternative to the high cost of owning a vacation home due to the fact you are only paying the time that you actually use and not the entire property value.

The different types of Timeshare and the difference between fixed, floating and flex weeks?
Fixed Weeks will usually be identified by a number. For example, the first week of January is Week 1, and the last week of December is Week 52. Most fixed weeks begin on Friday, Saturday or Sunday. When you have a fixed week you can only stay at the resort during your assigned week.
Floating Weeks require you to contact the resort to designate your desired week. You can make a reservation for any time during the calendar year based on a resort’s availability (some weeks are always excluded for upper level memberships).
Flex Weeks require you to make a reservation to an assigned season. Flex time may be labeled by season (winter flex, summer flex, etc.) or by color (red, white, blue, etc). The terminology varies between the different vacation resort companies.
What are Points?
Points are units of measurement used to establish the value of seasons, sizes of suites, and resort locations. Primarily multi-destination resorts such as Wyndham, Bluegreen and Monarch use points. Multi-destination point programs offer the owner a variety of resorts to choose from as well as flexible use options.

What is an Exchange Company?
An exchange company gives you the option to stay somewhere other than your home resort. You can exchange your week for one at a comparable resort. There are several timeshare exchange companies, but two of the largest are Resort Condominiums International (RCI) and Interval International (II). RCI and II are affiliated with over 5,000 resorts around the globe. You can become a member of your home resort exchange company, or use the services of any independent resort exchange companies that best meet your specific travel needs.
What is a Banked Week?
When dealing with an exchange company, the owner has the option to reserve or deposit unused weeks to be used at a later time. The owner typically has 2 years to use the week in the exchange company’s network of resorts. However, for a fee the banked time can be extended up to one year.
What is the difference between a Five-Star resort and a Gold Crown resort?
A Five-Star resort is the most desirable rating for a resort in the Interval International (II) system. A Gold Crown resort is the most desirable rating for a resort in the Resort Condominiums International (RCI) system.
What is the difference between Red, White and Blue Seasons?
Each resort will have different seasons, and this has a significant impact on the demand of any timeshare property. Most resorts use 3 principal colors to determine the demand of the season. Red is peak or high season, white is mid season and Blue is off peak or low season. Since demand affects price and trading power, seasonal fluctuation of demand is an important factor to consider.
What is a Maintenance fee?
A maintenance fee is a mandatory fee that the resort charges for the upkeep of the property. In most cases this fee also covers taxes, utilities, insurance, and any other maintenance expenses. These fees are generally levied on a monthly, annually or biennially basis.
How is pricing determined for timeshare resort properties and timeshare resales?
Pricing of timeshare resort and timeshare resale resort weeks varies depending on many factors including: time of year, location, resort amenities, size of the unit, and of course, market demand.
What is the difference between Biannual and Biennial?
Biannual allows the owner to receive two weeks per year. Biennial allows the owner to receive one week every two years.
