Mediation between the owner and the sale

Allowing a person to mediate the sale of a timeshare for you can be yet another option available when selling your timeshare property. The term broker is a broad expression utilized in the industry and can encompass different ranges of protocols or responsibilities which vary greatly.

In essence a sales person, a brokerage company, a licensed REALTOR®, or a timeshare specialist can intermediate between a buyer and a seller.

If you decide to utilize a broker to sell your timeshare property, the burden of ensuring the broker meets the requirements deemed appropriate falls within your responsibility. By utilizing a REALTOR® as a broker to sell your timeshare, you may find confidence in relying on the education of real estate guidelines that a REALTOR® must adhere to. This may reassure you that every method utilized to sell timeshare falls within suitable procedures according to methods set forth by the National Association of REALTORS®.

Utilizing a Salesperson

If you are a timeshare owner who resides outside the USA, you may also utilize a sales person to broker the sale of your timeshare. If this method is utilized, you are relying on the sales skills of the person brokering the sale to generate interest in your property, draft appropriate contracts as well as ensure the title process is completed legitimately.

If you choose to utilize a person to broker the sale of your timeshare, depending on the methods utilized by the broker, you may lose the use of your property while it is on the market for sale. By certain methods utilized by some brokers, you may also lose the ability to exchange points through their timeshare resort, or lose the ability to rent your property while it is on the market for sale. Some persons brokering the sale of a timeshare property may also request full control of your property while it is on the market.
