Selling a time share is not easy. It is about selling time or holiday ownership, not a traditional real estate. You are not allowed to put up a ‘For Sale' sign in front of the property and you cannot show the unit share to potential timeshare buyers at any time you want.

If you decide to sell your timeshare, do you use a licensed timeshare broker or try to sell it yourself? It can sometimes be a difficult decision to make, especially if you are looking to make a decent return on the sale of your timeshare.

You may want to consider enlisting the service of a broker if you have limited experience and time in selling your timeshare. The advantages of selling your timeshare through a broker are: 1. Advertising is included in the broker's commission. 2. Brokers are able to reach a wider network of potential buyers. 3. You don't need to worry about doing the paperwork. 4. Communication is between you and the broker, so you do not have to deal directly with the buyer. This frees up your time to take care of other business. 5. Brokers are generally more skilled at negotiation and selling a timeshare successfully. In certain instances, brokers can secure a higher selling price.

The disadvantages of selling your timeshare through a broker are: 1. You have to pay a commission. 2. Lack of direct communication with the buyer. 3. Lack of knowledge about what the broker is telling the buyer. 4. Time delays in renegotiating contract. 5. Unable to accept direct bid while under contract with the broker. 6. There may be other charges such upfront fees and appraisal fees. When selling a timeshare, appraisal is not required. So, you shouldn't be paying appraisal fee at all.

Some timeshare sellers prefer to pay an upfront or one-time fee as a cheaper alternative to paying a broker commission. It is vital to find a reliable company as many timeshare scammers disappear after collecting upfront fees.

When selecting a licensed time share broker, check the timeshare resale company's background with the Better Business Bureau. You want to deal with a company that has a good reputation and not one with a history of complaints. Beware of any company that charges both an upfront fee and a commission. You shouldn't be paying twice for the same service. It is best to avoid this type of company to prevent being scammed.
