Lately I have been receiving a number of phone calls from people who are looking to  take a timeshare tour or attend a timeshare sales presentation.

Following are my tips and suggestions if you are interested in attending a timeshare or vacation club presentation.

1.  I always suggest visiting the websites of RCI and Interval International first.

2. Then select the RCI resorts or Interval International resorts they would like to know more about.

3. Call the phone number listed for the resort or resorts they are interested in and ask them if they are offering tours of their resorts and how to schedule an appointment.

4.  If they have an interest in the property after the sales presentation, that is when they should look for a timeshare resale, since the prices are much lower on a timeshare resale than purchasing direct from the developer.  NOTE:  The benefits of purchasing a resale might be different than buying from the developer.

5.  When researching a timeshare resale, you are advised to look for a reputable broker and ask questions to determine if he is knowledgeable about the property in question.

6.  I always caution people to not be forced into making hasty decisions.

7.  Most importantly, remember timeshare is not a financial investment.  Timeshare vacation ownership is an investment in future vacations with your loved ones.

8.  Take the time to learn about the timeshare program, the benefits it will provide and if they meet your requirements for the way you and your family like to vacation.
