Have you ever had this experience? Banking your timeshare weeks only to see them disappear after a few years. Not being able to exchange those banked weeks for what you want. Getting frustrated by watching RCI and/or II rent out your banked weeks.
Why not turn the tables and rent out your timeshare week? You’ve already paid the maintenance fee and have a right to that week! Rent it out and put the cash in your pocket – not RCI or II’s.
What you need is the right advice from a timeshare professional who rents out timeshare properties for the owners while protecting the owners’ interests. You will cover the cost of your timeshare maintenance fees plus more when you rent your timeshare!

That’s where the timeshare rental specialists at www.timesharelink.com come in. Having been in business 28 years, these guys can get the job done and get you top dollar!
Don’t let another timeshare week (and your money) burn away. Rent your timeshare for cash and you’ll be glad you did.

Whether you buy a car, home, or timeshare, you can save a huge amount of money when you buy it from the owner. Buying resale always beats paying retail prices! Beyond the cost savings of buying a timeshare on the resales market here are five benefits of buying a timeshare.
 Golf Course at Wyndham (Fairfield) Pagosa The Second Home:
By owning a timeshare property instead of a second home, or vacation home, you, the owner are not responsible for upkeep, repairs, home owner’s dues, or any of these types of expense related obligations. Do note however, you will be required to pay maintenance fees or membership dues to some resorts as a way to fund the continual development and upkeep of the resort. Selecting a timeshare property as an alternative to a second home or vacation home will net significant savings due to the fact you will only use a few weeks a year.
A Destination to Enjoy:
Though some people enjoy a new destination each year for vacationing or for getting away from it all, there are those who do visit the same destination year after year. There are many reasons for this trend in vacationing and some of them are specific to scheduling, travel distance and availability while others simply fall in love with a location and return every chance they get.
Committed to Vacationing:
Would you believe that some hard working people may go years without taking a vacation? Would you believe that some people take one or more vacations every year? Unfortunately, one of the primary reasons people do not take a vacation is because of a lack of planning. As unfortunate as this may seem, the remedy is as simple as setting a date, choosing a location and preparing financially. When you own a timeshare property, in a way, you become committed to a vacation each year.
Superb Lodging:
Lodging is superb at timeshare properties because of the features and amenities that related to the comfort of your stay where the difference is less like a hotel, and more like an apartment. Some units have kitchens stocked with tableware and cooking utensils and one or more bedrooms to make your stay feel very much comfortable and convenient. And providing how much you demand of your timeshare property, the sky is the limit on what features and amenities you can request.
Lifestyle Enhancement:
When you begin your research into the timeshare market, you will undoubtedly encounter the phrase lifestyle enhancement or lifestyle improvement. This is a selling point for many of the resorts, and though it tolls aristocratically, it is accompanied by a tone of truth. By becoming committed to vacationing, you are doing something grand for yourself. A reward that you deserve. A chance to improve the quality of your life by squeezing in a well earned break for yourself and your family each year.

If we lived in a perfect world, things would never break, everything would go as planned, and there would never be a need to complain. In the world of timeshare resales there is a lot of misinformation, and a few myths that need to be clarified so that your expectations will be in line with reality. That’s where education and great communication come in to play.
From time to time some clients of Stroman Realty, Inc need to address problems with timeshare property information, make corrections, overcome problems with a sale or contract, or just get some answers. The fastest way to address those concerns will come through the Customer Service Department of Stroman Realty. I’ll address that later on.
The two most common complaints are these: My timeshare is taking too long to sell and I am not getting offers that are high enough to get it sold.
How long will it take to get your timeshare sold? According to the American Resort Development Association the national average for average timeshares is 22 months. But, not all timeshares are created equal. Some timeshares sell more quickly if the demand is higher. Some sell even faster when the price is aggressively set. Here’s a perfect true case study. As I was writing this story, a successful previous seller called in to place another timeshare on the market. They wanted to virtually give it away for $1,000. Within 15 minutes an offer went out to the owner for more than what they were asking and contracts are on the way. Demand generally increases as the price decreases.
On the other hand, some properties may languish on the market forever if they are grossly overpriced. Before placing a timeshare property on the market our agents disclose verbally and in writing that properties generally sell for a discount off retail of anywhere from 25% to 50%. Having a reasonable expectation on the sales price will prevent many disappointments.
So, as you can see, the amount of time on the market and your asking price are two related issues.
If you have your property on the market through Stroman Realty and on Timesharelink.com and have an issue about something, we want to listen and address your concerns. The best way to do that is by contacting Customer Service. Stroman Realty, Inc’s Customer Service Department is staffed with licensed Realtors with an average tenure of 10 years. The Manager for Customer Service, Paul Deaton, is a retired Naval Officer and has held a Real Estate license for 12 years. The best way to contact Customer Service is 1.800.733.8865 or from out of the US at 936-588-4400.
Not every question will be answered to everyone’s satisfaction. We pledge to answer every question to the best of our ability and give you all the information you need to make the best decisions about selling your timeshare.
We also understand that previous success cannot guarantee future results. Even though we have sold and closed for individual owners $65 million of timeshares in the last five years, we didn’t sell every timeshare on our website. Yours could be the next success story. But if not, were are here to listen and help!

Where do I start?
My first call was to the Marriott timeshare resort. They said they would help me, but they would charge a 40% commission. 40%!
In addition to the 40% commission I have no say in setting the price – they set the price for me. Basically, I’m put on the list and the Marriott timeshare buyers are matched up with sellers based upon who was on the list first. So, if there were 150 sellers on the list before me, I will have to wait one by one from number 1 until they get to me at number 151.
It’s my understanding that they don’t aggressively market MY timeshare. The only way someone knows MY timeshare is for sale is if someone visits the resort. The resort will not provide any advertising for me.

Good News! Yes, sales are up and sales prices have increased 20%. Where is this happening? At a new timeshare resort in Breckenridge Colorado. Grand Lodge, developed by the same group as Grand Timber Lodge, is selling quickly. The Aspen Times interviewed co-owner Rob Millisor who said that the second phase of Grand Lodge will be completed in December and is already 35% sold out. In 2008 they hosted about 10,000 tours – brought in by their offer of a two night mini vacation.
When the Grand Lodge is completed it will offer 114 two bedroom lockoff units and 4 one bedroom units. The average ski weeks cost about $100,000 and the off season weeks are priced at around $30,000.
Breckenridge is an awesome destination all year round and it is no surprise that they are doing well in selling the Grand Lodge timeshare resort properties. As I write this it is 7 degrees and snowing in Breckenridge. The forecast high for the day is 20 degrees with moderate winds. March usually brings a good amount of snow and is great for the last push of the year for ski resorts.
Judging from our own brisk sales of ski timeshares, and sales at Grand Lodge, ski timeshares are selling and reselling well! Give us a call to get your ski timeshare week sold, or buy a Colorado ski timeshare at a serious discount!
