How to Sell a Timeshare Property

By Contributing Writer

  • Overview

    A timeshare property is great for a set vacation and a quick getaway. But when it doesn't fit into your budget or your lifestyle anymore, it may be time to sell your timeshare property. Your family may have grown, or even the destination isn't the right place for you anymore. There are a few things that you want to do before you list your home to ensure a smooth sale on your property.
    • Step 1

      Understand what exactly you are selling before you list it. You want to know if you have a deeded ownership to the property of a right to use for a certain numbers of years. The potential buyer is going to want to know all of this information.
    • Step 2

      Locate all of the important documents you will need for the sale. This will include any mortgage information, tax records and maintenance details you may have. This is also needed for the sale, but it is better to be prepared before you even list the property.


    • Step 3

      List your timeshare property with a real estate agency or even a developer. If there are salespeople on the property you may want to list with them because they have the buyers coming to them. Keep in mind their focus is going to be on new units, so yours may take awhile to sell.
    • Step 4

      Sell it at an auction or even through a classified ad. If you want to tackle the sale by yourself and know how to market your timeshare property, this may be the way to go for you.
    • Step 5

      Talk to an attorney before agreeing to any finance terms. You want to have someone look over any money or legal aspects of the sale for you.
