The very first thing that you are going to be told, is that more than likely you will take a loss on your timeshare.
Some people compare it to buying a car, once you drive it off the parking lot, it losses about 30%.
Its just about the same with a timeshare.
About 25% of the time though, depending on how you are selling it, you can get more or the same amount of money that you paid for it.
Knowing this, it becomes necessary for you to find the most cost effective and targeted location to advertise your timeshare for sale.
Back 10yrs ago, it was incredibly difficult to advertise your timeshare, but since the internet it has become a breeze.
Just go on Google and search for both offline and online publications, that specialize in travel, vacations or vacation properties.
You want these publications because they have readers that are financially ready to spend on what you have.
Running an ad, on a general publication or newspaper will be a waste.
Because the reader base does not carry people that will match the type of person who buys timeshares.
Before you start getting calls, have a detailed outline of the information potential buyers need to know about or might ask for.
With something this high priced, you have to be professional and on top of your information.
You will notice with time, you will start getting more legit phone calls.
So don't expect your ad to work the first few days its published.
A way that many timeshare owners have chosen to sell their property, is with a timeshare relief company.
A handful of these companies have been in business for so long, that they are able to sell properties off to, a targeted list of people who have demonstrated interest in a timeshare.
Plus, they spend hundreds of thousands of dollars each year in advertising to bring in more buyers.
