If you are thinking about purchasing a timeshare resale you will want to do your homework, take the time to do some research and be an educated and informed buyer and consider several other points before proceeding with the purchase. While timeshare should never be purchased as a financial investment, owning a time share is an investment in quality vacations in the future for your family and loved ones.
Who is selling the timeshare resale?
The developer – some of the major developers are Hilton timeshares, Marriot timeshares, Hyatt timeshares and Starwood timeshares, in addition to smaller developers in popular vacation destinations like Florida, Hawaii and California.
An individual owner – an individual who has purchased a timeshare and for any number of reasons, has decided they want to sell it.
A licensed timeshare resale broker – this is a licensed real estate professional that specializes in timeshare resales and is responsible for the honest representation of all the facts and details surrounding the timeshare interval that is for sale.
Why is this important?
There may be certain advantages or “perks” when purchasing from a developer. There may be additional benefits associated with the purchase that would not necessarily be available on the timeshare resale market from an individual or a broker.
An individual owner advertising their owned week for sale, may not be as forthcoming about details such as taxes, existing mortgages, maintenance fees or special assessments.
A licensed timeshare resale broker is held to a higher standard of ethics and has the obligation of disclosing all pertinent information (good and bad) and any other details surrounding the timeshare resale.
Why purchase a timeshare resale?
Timeshare resales have proven to be one of the best buys on the timeshare market offering significant discounts at some of the most prestigious resorts and properties around the world such as Hilton timeshare, Marriot timeshare, Hyatt timeshare and Starwood timeshare. If you don’t know all the ins and outs of a property or are unsure of what questions to ask the seller, then hire a licensed timeshare resale broker who is reputable and knows his market.
