Licensed REALTOR®

Commissions Motivate REALTORS® to Sell

Another component of utilizing a REALTOR® lies within the ambition to sell the property for commission. A commission paid to the REALTOR® is usually based on a percentage of the sale and thus becomes the best interest of the REALTOR® to get the best price for your property. This may also give you reassurance that the property will be sold based on the desire of the selling REALTOR® to be compensated by the amount of commission earned at time of closing.

REALTORS® who Specialize in Timeshare Resales

Though utilizing a REALTOR® to sell a timeshare property is an available option, it is important to note that not all REALTORS® may have the capability of selling your timeshare. When you seek out a Timeshare REALTOR® to sell your property, you are choosing a better and safer option. A timeshare specialist will be more accustomed to the details of your timeshare resale and the requirements which dictate a sale. A timeshare specialist may be able to better explain the items related to the sale of the property to the interested buyer. They also may have in-depth knowledge of your resort which would put them in a better position to answer questions that a buyer for your timeshare may have.

The number of sales that a timeshare resale specialist has completed is a good indication of the degree of specialty being offered. Not only is this indicative of the REALTOR®'s ability to close a timeshare property sale, it can also be a suggestive measure of the number of potential buyers the REALTOR® has. Buyer exposure is one of the most important points to remember when selling your timeshare property.  As a licensed REALTOR® and timeshare resales specialist, we currently have listed over 92,000 people who have contacted us with an interest in buying or renting a timeshare. Remember, all REALTORS® must participate in mandatory ethics training.  Most resale or internet advertising companies cannot make that claim.  Our many years of experience in selling timeshares on behalf of individual owners has resulted in over $100,000,000 in sales.

REALTOR® Technologies

Direct Mail

Technology available to the REALTOR® may also be an option you may consider when utilizing a timeshare resales specialist. Some of the items worth mentioning are technologies such as direct mail, or the use of contact lists or mailing lists of potential buyers.

Technological advantages may also include database technologies that allow a REALTOR® to search for buyers based on criteria. A timeshare specialist may also have access to a contact list of interested parties who have submitted their information to the REALTOR® for the purpose of purchasing a timeshare.

Communication

Interpersonal networks between REALTORS® are also another method that timeshare specialists rely on to move properties. With emerging technologies that cater to the real estate professional, the potential for networking becomes endless. Unified messaging allows timeshare resale specialists to be on top of their correspondences by having Voicemail, email, paperwork, and faxes centralized in desktop settings. In some environments, real estate offices have begun taking this technology beyond the borders of the office cubicle.

Mobile technology is a blessing for REALTORS®. Though this realm of technology may seem to be a forward thought, the truth is, it is already here. With the implementation of mobile office and telecommuters becoming a normal trend, timeshare resale specialists are able to suit the needs of the owner now more than ever.

These kinds of technologies separate the REALTOR® of today from the REALTOR® of yesteryear. Between the ability to use technologies to support an office on the go, and the introduction of extreme multitasking, timeshare specialists have the option to replace older and less desirable methods of selling timeshare property.
