Look for These Qualities in Your Timeshare Reseller

If you’re looking to sell your timeshare, you probably have a lot of questions, one of which is likely how to find the best timeshare resale company that you can trust and that will make the process easy and painless. 

Finding the Best Timeshare Resale Company for Your Sale

Selling your timeshare on the resale market is a smart idea because you can get in front of millions of potential buyers and get a good value for your timeshare. 

However, it’s easier to sell your timeshare on the resale market when you work with a qualified reseller. An organization like Sell a Timeshare offers a platform to advertise your timeshare in front of those potential buyers, and can also provide additional services like access to a timeshare broker to help execute the resale once a buyer is identified. 

But how do you know if you’re working with the best timeshare resale company? There are certainly a lot of resellers out there claiming to be the best at what they do, and it can be difficult to know what to look for.

While we have talked in the past about red flags to look out for, this post discusses how to know you’re working with the right timeshare reseller.

4 Signs You’ve Found the Best Timeshare Resale Company to Work With 

A reputable timeshare reseller is important because you’re trusting them to help you sell your unit or points package successfully, responsibly, and at the best value. 

Here are 4 signs that you’re working with a good reseller.

1. They’ve been in the business for a long time. Like any business, longevity signifies expertise, success, and the ability to overcome challenges in the industry. Businesses that aren’t good at what they do typically don’t last long, so a timeshare reseller that’s been in the game for decades is likely pretty savvy. 

Sell a Timeshare has been providing honest service since 2000, which has earned us respect in the industry. 

However, as we’ve said before, time in the industry doesn’t always equal excellence, so keep reading for other signs of a good reseller.

2. They follow all regulatory compliance requirements. Even if a timeshare resale company has been in business for years, if they’re not following regulatory criteria, that’s a problem. Before you work with a timeshare resale company, check to make sure they’re abiding by the regulations of the state in which they operate.

Sell a Timeshare complies with state regulations around timeshare resales to ensure your sale is legitimate and follows the guidelines around responsible exit. 

3. They have industry support from reputable groups and organizations. Partnerships with timeshare trade associations are a good indication that the timeshare reseller is legit. Organizations like the American Resort Development Association (ARDA), the Canadian Resort and Travel Association (CRTA), and La Asociación Mexicana de Desarrolladores Turísticos (AMDETUR) have reputations for maintaining honest, transparent business models, and the organizations they partner with must be a reflection of that mission. It’s always a good sign when a timeshare reseller is supported by one of these well-known and respected entities. 

Sell a Timeshare has a relationship with all three of the aforementioned timeshare trade associations and is also affiliated with the Association of Timeshare Owners, one of the largest independent timeshare vacation ownership associations in the U.S. 

4. They operate with integrity. Operating with integrity should be a goal of every business, right? It’s also a business quality that can be difficult to verify until you’re already in a working relationship with that business. However, there are a few ways to know if a timeshare reseller is a business with integrity. 

For example, do they answer your questions with honest, clear information? Do they do what they say they are going to do? As a consumer, you can typically tell fairly quickly if a business is easy to work with and forthcoming with information and assistance. If things aren’t going smoothly, you’re feeling confused or uncertain, or you don’t understand how their business model works, it’s time to find a different timeshare reseller to work with. 

At Sell a Timeshare, our self-service advertising model makes it cost-effective and easy to promote your timeshare for sale online and know you’re getting in front of millions of potential buyers. 

Selling your timeshare can be an overwhelming endeavor, but it’s far easier when you work with a reseller that has your best interests in mind.
