There are a large number of services which assist timeshare owners in selling. Some are good, and some are scams. As such we recommend that our visitors thoroughly investigate any company prior to listing their timeshare.
We recommend that you avoid paying any upfront fees to list or sell your timeshare. A small listing fee is fair. A large assessment is likely a scam. More often than not, services that charge you will not make good on their promises of money back or satisfaction guaranteed. Again, always tread carefully.
If you’re looking for some idea on what you’ll be able to sell for, realize that you’ll be extremely lucky to get even 25% of what you spent on it back. See our guide on eBaying for more information on how to locate the going price on a timeshare.
Many of our site’s sponsors offer timeshare resale services. In addition, we have had our users report some degree of success with the following sites and services:
www.ebay.com (Real Estate; subcategory: Timeshares)
eBay offers a quick and easy method of selling your timeshare. Downside is that your auction may fetch less than expected.
www.craigslist.com/
Craigslist requires that a seller be proactive enough to take the time to make an anonymous listing. It can be very hit and miss, but listings are free, so it’s worth a try.
