Q: Why should I buy a RESALE timeshare from you

instead of buying it directly from the resort?A: You can get the

SAME timeshare on the resale market but at anywhere from 50% to 80% off

the price you would pay if you bought it directly from the resort. And,

because you will have paid so little for it by buying resale you will

have an easier time getting most of your money back. Or, if you decide to

keep it, you may will it to your kids or give it away. Click here for the

Depending on resort and market conditions.Q: Why should I buy a

RESALE timeshare from a professional, licensed timeshare RESALE Broker? I

have friends who want me to buy theirs.A: GOOD QUESTION... BUT BE

VERY CAREFUL !When you buy from a private party you have no way of

knowing if the previous owners have put it up for collateral, have a lien

against it, or owe back dues or taxes. You could be liable for heavy-duty

fees that you know nothing about! When you buy from a private party you

have no way of knowing if the previous owners put it up for collateral on

a loan or it could have a lien against it. Even though they are the best

people in the world, they might not know either. Or, did they use a quit-

claim deed and give it to someone else? Have they paid the entire annual

maintenance fees and taxes? If not, you may be liable for heavy-duty past

due bills if you buy it from them.And, you cannot use the timeshare

until you have paid off those outstanding bills. We are a professional,

licensed timeshare resale company and we have the same fiduciary

responsibility to buyers and sellers as real estate agents who sell

homes. We are successful because we offer sellers, as well as buyers,

easy, fast and SAFE property transfers. Click here to see our TimeSharing

Today magazine article on “Do you dare do it Yourself?―.Q:

How do I know that I am buying a RESALE Timeshare that is free and clear

of all liens?A: This is why it is important to buy your timeshare

from an established company like Timeshare RESALE Alliance, and why we

use a professional escrow company that gives you a Title Policy

guaranteeing that the deeded property you receive is free and clear. The

same checks are made on Right to Use or Club Membership types of property

as well.Buying a timeshare involves almost as much paperwork as

buying a home. You want to make certain that all the paperwork is filled

out and properly recorded, that you are buying a property that is free

and clear, and that the transfer of title is accurately registered with

the resort. Making sure you get what you pay for is how we earn our

commission (which is paid for in most cases by the seller)---we’ve

matched thousands of buyers with sellers and know how to get the job done

for you.Q: Will I get the same benefits the resort offers to

those who buy directly from them?A: Resorts often give you two

free airline tickets, an inexpensive weekend at the resort or a

comparable gift, when you come for a presentation by them. You do not get

those when you buy on the resale market. On the other hand you don’t

get the generally high powered sales pitch either. But, you get the same

timeshare at a savings of $5,000 to $20,000! With these savings, you can

afford to buy your own airline tickets and resort weekend and still

pocket huge savings. Hence our slogan, “Never an Up-Front Fee. No

Pressure. Just Great Values―.You know about all that “free―

stuff? It isn’t really free. The buyer not only pays for his own but

everyone else’s that didn’t buy as well (about seven out of

ten).Resorts give away a lot of “fluff― to make it seem as though

you are getting many free benefits. They sometimes also give you a

“free” membership in their Travel Club or “bonus points” that

give you access to discount airline tickets and “weekend getaways―.

In reality, you get these same benefits from the Exchange Companies such

as Resort Condominiums International or Interval International. Why spend

thousands of dollars extra to buy directly from the resort so you get

this “fluff” (we call it “airwave”) from them, when you can get

the same thing from your exchange company?Q: How will the resort

treat me if I buy a “Pre-Owned” Timeshare rather than a “New” one

purchased directly from them?A: During your escrow, the Escrow

Company notifies the resort of the Transfer of Ownership. When you check

in to your resort, the staff does not even know that you bought the

timeshare on the RESALE market. Nor do they care. The resort’s only

concern is to have enough owners to pay the annual maintenance fee and

taxes so they can maintain the beauty, high quality and desirability of

the resort.Q: How do I know which RESALE Timeshare Resort is the

best one for me?A: First, determine where and how you want to use

your travel time. Where do you enjoy spending vacations? Do you love the

beach, the mountains, the big cities or the desert? You have many

choices. For example…













google_ad_channel = "7940249670, " + AB_cat_channel +

AB_unit_channel;

google_language = "en";

google_ad_region = 'test';









If getting back to nature in the Southern California mountains is for

you, you can become a lifetime “pardner” in a “Members Only” 750

acre Private Ranch located 26 miles inside the Sequoia National Forest

with free RV hook-ups, cabins, horseback riding, fishing, shooting ranges

and more. And, you can go there as many times a year as you wish at no

additional charge. After you use it for your lifetime, you can resell it

or will the membership to your kids. This is most suitable for those

living from Fresno to Paso Robles to Ventura to Los Angeles,

California.Is taking the family and grandparents for an annual family

reunion during winter vacation in the warm desert high on your list? You

can have a Palm Springs retreat that Tracy and Hepburn would have envied.

And, if you’re in the neighborhood, you can even have day use!How

about a weeklong romantic rendezvous for you and your Special One in

Paris one year, and on a Caribbean beach the next? Then you want to buy a

top-trading, high-demand California coastal resort at a dramatically

reduced price from what you would pay if you bought directly from the

resort---and then trade it for anywhere in the world you want to

go.Q: After I speak with your Consultant and determine which

Resort is the best for me, what’s the next step?A: This is the

easy part---we do all the work for you and lead you through the process

step by step.After you decide on the resort and price, our personal

Timeshare Resale Travel Consultant will FAX or mail a Purchase Agreement

to you for your signature. The agreement contains the entire dollar

amount of your purchase, including all fees and escrow charges---there

are no surprises down the line. Simultaneously, she or he will take your

credit card number and charge your Deposit of $500 (sometimes more on

more expensive RESALES – You will know in advance what it will be) and

alert the Seller. As soon as she receives your signed Purchase Agreement,

she presents the offer and if accepted instructs our Escrow Coordination

Department to open your escrow at a major national Title Escrow Company.

They credit your escrow account for $500. The balance is due back to the

independent Escrow Company along with your signed Escrow Instructions.

When your escrow closes, the Escrow Company then sends the monies due to

the Sellers to them and the Grant Deed to you and you are now the proud

new Owner of a wonderful future full of fabulous

vacations.Sellers FAQS:Q: Do you charge an upfront

(“Listing”, “Appraisal” or “Marketing”) Fee to list my

timeshare?A: NO! NEVER, EVER PAY AN UPFRONT FEE! We have Sellers

who, after paying even $800 - $1,500 in upfront fees that never resulted

in a sale of their timeshares, come to us and we sell their timeshares

for them and NEVER charge them an upfront fee.Q: Why should I

list my timeshare with you?A: 1. Because we spend thousands of

dollars monthly to market YOUR listing.2. Because our sales agents

are more than salespeople. They are experts in the specialized field of

timeshare resale. They know YOUR listing is in our inventory and present

it to buyers who are interested in California resorts. Even if a buyer

wants a resort in another state, we show them why YOUR resort may be

better for them. Our licensed agents know all the strategies for getting

the most from timeshare travel and act as Timeshare Travel Consultants to

help your buyer understand all the reasons why they should buy YOUR

timeshare.3. Because we’ve been doing this successfully for years

and have matched thousands of sellers with buyers.4. Because we use a

professional escrow company that handles all the money and delivers a

Title Policy on all deeded transactions so the it can never come back to

bite you.Q: How much can I get for my timeshare?A: How

quickly do you want to sell it?We do not set the prices; Sellers set

the prices. There are many reasons for selling a timeshare: death of a

spouse, divorce, illness, and financial setbacks. Some Sellers just want

to give it away and place a very low price on it - they are your

competition. We research the prices in the resale market to help you

determine a fair price.The timeshare resale market is very much like

the automobile market. You will pay a dealer a large sum for a new car.

The second you drive it off the lot, it’s worth much less on the resale

market.Prices are also influenced by the quality of your resort

location, size, season of use, and its trading power in addition to

comparable sales of similar units. Resale timeshares normally sell for

50%-70% off the price paid when purchased new. You paid a fair price to

the developer who bought expensive land and paid the construction costs

to develop a beautiful resort. Also their marketing costs to sell it are

extremely high (on the order of 50% of your price). But like a car, there

are a lot of Sellers who drive the prices down by selling at low prices.

It is to our advantage to get the most we can for your timeshare and we

make every effort to get top dollar for you. But if we ignore the

realities of the marketplace we simply won’t be able to sell it for

you. What good does that do you?Q: How much is your

commission?A: Here is some background on how timeshare resale

commissions work:In the residential real estate market, commissions

are usually 6%. They are so low, because the price of a house is so

substantial. Six percent of a $400,000 house (the median price in

California now) is $24,000 in commission. A timeshare sale involves

almost as much work as selling a house, sometimes more! Yet, in timeshare

resales, the commission dollars are so low that most real estate agents

won’t even consider selling a timeshare. Note that the 3% Selling

Broker’s commission is still $12,000.00 (more than the selling price of

most resale timeshares).Because of this disparity in commission

dollar amounts, the normal commission throughout the timeshare resale

industry is 30% so that the resale company can get enough to advertise

it, sell it and oversee the transaction for both the Buyer and the Seller

and still stay in business. Occasionally a company will state a 20%

commission but with a $1,500 minimum. That is still a 30% commission on a

$5,000 resale.In exchange for this, what we do for you is maintain

numerous sales locations, advertise in newspapers, magazines, resorts,

yellow pages and on our website. In addition, we have highly trained,

experienced sales agents answering our 800 toll-free telephone lines to

sell your timeshare to interested buyers who call us. When your unit

sells, we prepare all the paperwork and open an escrow for the

transaction. We then follow through on the details of the Escrow activity

to make certain it closes in a timely fashion.Q: How long does

the listing last?A: Because we spend so much money to advertise

our listings, we take the usual industry-wide listing period of one year.

Some timeshares sell very quickly. Others can take 6 months to a year to

sell depending how many are on the market.Q: Can I sell my

timeshare if it is not paid for (there is a loan balance)?A: We

cannot sell a timeshare if more money is owed on it than what you would

receive for it after closing costs and commissions are paid without you

coming up with the cash difference (usually a bad idea). How much did you

pay for it? How much do you owe?One thing you can do, if your

timeshare is not paid for, is pay down the loan so that what you owe on

it is what you would receive for it when it sells. If you cannot do that,

you can pay off the balance on a no/low interest credit card. Or, if you

qualify, we can help you get a home equity line of credit to pay it off -

you can save a lot on the interest and deduct from your taxes whatever

interest you pay on it. Or, you can send cash for the amount needed to

pay off your loan at close of escrow.Q: Who handles my

money?A: When we sell your timeshare, everything is handled for

you by a professional escrow company, just like the ones used for buying

and selling homes. We use well-known national title companies that have a

fiduciary duty not only to you, but to your Buyer, as well. They

efficiently prepare the legal documents for you and your Buyer to sign.

They receive the money from the Buyer. They distribute any dues owed to

the resort. They pay us our commission and they subtract any other

closing costs. They then send you the balance - that is what they are

legally required to do at the same time they send us our commission. We

never handle your money.Q: Yes, I want to list my timeshare for

sale. What’s the next step?A: IT’S EASY!! Call us and we walk

you through it, step by step. One of our professional, licensed timeshare

RESALE consultants will ask you some questions regarding the resort you

own and help you determine a price. Then we will send you a Listing

Agreement that shows, usually to the penny, what you can expect to

receive. You sign it and send it back to us with a copy of your deed and

loan payoff documents (if it is paid for). We do the rest. As soon as we

receive your signed listing agreement, all of our sales agents are made

aware of your property so they can begin offering it to buyers who call

us daily. Did you find this article useful? For more useful
