Do I need a Real Estate broker to sell my timeshare?
No, but most brokers charge an appraisal fee and take 20% to 40% commission of the sale. This leaves the seller very disappointed. The real problem is that they don't actually advertise or expose your property to anyone. A buyer must call them to inquire about purchasing and the broker usually will sell the property that they are getting the highest commission on. This only serves their interests. When a buyer contacts us, they are able to search our entire inventory complete with asking price on our website(right here, right now). This allows the buyer to shop for the best deal without any commission or pressure sales tactics.

Do I need to have an appraisal to sell my timeshare?
There is no need for an appraisal to sell your property unless you are donating the timeshare to charity and need the appraisal for tax purposes. You own a piece of time not a physical piece of property. Time share can not be appraised! It is also another way of collecting an upfront fee. Second Market Timeshare Resales does not charge an upfront fee to list your property. In some places getting an appraisal for your timeshare is illegal.

The title company handles the closing process from start to finish and they guarantee a free and clear title.

Deed preparation

Will my resort sell my timeshare?
