Sometimes, retaining ownership of a timeshare becomes impractical. Although you may have enjoyed your timeshare for a number of years, there may come a time when owning it is no longer feasible. Perhaps your financial situation has changed or your personal life is no longer suited to enjoying your timeshare.

Here are 5 tips to selling a timeshare successfully.

1. Prior to selling your timeshare, you should check with the resort developer or management company to ascertain whether or not your timeshare is affiliated with a licensed broker who handles timeshare resales. Sometimes, developers do offer the original buyer the option of reselling a timeshare back to them.

2. It's a sad, but true fact that the majority of timeshares usually sell for 30 - 50% of the original price. Unless your timeshare is located in a popular area and offers prime time occupation, selling your timeshare can be a little challenging. However, with the right approach and sufficient knowledge, selling a timeshare does not have to be an overwhelming task. Competitive pricing is the key. Check out what other timeshare resellers are selling for in your resort and base your price on the average market value. If you set the price too high, you may end up losing buyers.

3. Don't be afraid to ask for help. Often, the daunting task of selling a timeshare and the associated paperwork involved can be too much for timeshare resellers to handle. Consider enlisting the service of a professional licensed timeshare broker if you have limited experience and time in selling your timeshare.

4. Be wary of paying up-front fees. Hiring a broker on a commission only basis is much safer and reduces your risk of paying out money for services you may not receive. A reputable broker will advise you on the current market value for your timeshare and will work towards getting both you and him the best deal.

5. There are a lot of timeshares available on the internet and through the classified, and even more unscrupulous people who are out to commit timeshare resale fraud. Beware of the too-good-to-be-true deals - they are usually scams. Many of these scammers tell you that your timeshare must be appraised before it can be sold and hence, charge you appraisal service. Since a reputable broker is already aware of the value of your timeshare, appraisals are not usually necessary. Some of these scammers have collected thousands of dollars from unsuspecting timeshare resellers by charging for unnecessary services.

Selling timeshares can be a time-consuming and difficult process. However, if done correctly, selling timeshares can be a rewarding and profitable undertaking. By following the 5 tips above, you are more likely to succeed in selling your timeshare. Enlisting the help of a timeshare licensed broker can save you time, money and frustrations.
