An estimated 500,000 of the 1.4 million timeshare properties in the US are up for resale. If you are thinking of reselling your timeshare property beware of bogus resale companies who are taking advantage of anxious sellers in an overcrowded market.
A company salesperson may contact you either by phone or send a postcard asking you to call a particular number about your timeshare. The salesperson will claim that the market is "hot" for resales, when in fact, the market varies considerably, depending on the location and the prime season for that particular unit. The salesperson usually requires a fee of about $300 to $400 and promises to sell your timeshare for the price equal to or greater than the price you paid for it. He or she may claim to have lists of sales agents and potential buyers on a national and international level. While the seller may possess these lists, it is unlikely the parties are interested buyers. To further convince you, the salesperson may offer a money-back guarantee or a government bond if he or she cannot sell your timeshare in a certain amount of time.
In the end, some owners have found that their timeshare didn't sell, their fee was not returned, and they were given a bond worth as little as $60 or $70. If you are considering reselling your timeshare and are approached by a company offering to help, the Federal Trade Commission recommends the following: *Do not agree to anything over the telephone until you have had a chance to check out the company. *Ask the person to send you written materials to study. *Ask for company references, such as the names, addresses,and phone numbers of several consumers who have used the company's services. *Ask where the company is physically located and in what states it does business. *Ask if the company's salespeople are licensed to sell real estate by the state where your timeshare is located, and verify the answer with the state licensing board. *Ask the PA Attorney General's office, and local consumer protection agencies in the vicinity of the sales company whether any complaints have been lodged against the company.
