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.

]]>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.

]]>“Realtors do get higher prices than a virtual website that just advertises timeshares for resale” said Stroman. “You need to place your property with a company that has a network of licensed real estate sales agents to handle buyers. TimeShareLink.com has extensive exposure and the timeshare buyer leads it generates are monitored by a network of experienced timeshare resale specialists that can aid a buyer through the purchasing processes of selection, negotiating, contracting, closing, transferring and funding. It is reassuring to know you’re in good hands with a REALTOR. How could anyone complain about the special treatment that personal service provides”.
Wayne Stroman also added a caution to prospective timeshare sellers, “Beware of those unsolicited calls you receive with offers too good to be true. Unscrupulous scam artists will tell you anything to take upfront fees out of your hands and give absolutely nothing in return.” Again, here’s another reason to trust a timeshare broker adhering to a code of ethics and the experience to get the job done right the first time.
He claims that timeshare resales require a bricks-n-mortar business to get the highest prices for consumers that want to sell their timeshares. Anyone that wants to sell or rent a timeshare should get in touch with the Stroman Realty offices.
