Buyers and Sellerts FAQS on
       Timesharing
Buyers FAQS:
Q: Why should I buy a RESALE timeshare from you instead
         of buying it directly from the resort?
* 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 all the annual
 maintenance fees and taxes? If not, you may be liable for
     heavy-duty past-due bills if you buy it from them.
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.
Q: Will I get the same benefits the resort offers to those
               who buy directly from them?
Q: How do I know which RESALE Timeshare Resort is the
                  best one for me?
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.
A: This is the easy part---we do all the work for you and
       lead you through the process step by step.
Sellers FAQS:
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.
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.
Q: How much is your commission?
A: Here is some background on how timeshare resale
                 commissions work:
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.

Or, you can send cash for the amount needed to pay off your loan at close of escrow.
  • 50. Q: Who handles my money?
  • 51. 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.
