Reassure your potential buyers about what other owners or vacationers think about the place. Talk to your neighbors and other timeshare owners ahead of time and ask them if they mind if you give their contact info to your potential buyers. The buyers may feel like they are getting more unbiased answers to their questions coming from someone other than the seller.

Explain to the buyers how they can go about getting the dates that they want. The purpose of buying a timeshare is to have convenient vacations every year. So reassure them that getting the dates they want can happen.

Give the buyers an accurate history of the fees associated with the timeshare. If you are suffering from fee increases, it is best just to be honest. Buyers will trust you more if you are upfront about everything, both good and bad. Of course, there are always ways to spin it so that the fees do not seem so bad. On the other hand, if you have not had any fee increases in a long while this is a huge selling point.

Give your potential buyers a description of the management company. Especially if you are happy with how your timeshare property has been managed and maintained. It is good to give specific examples of their good work.

Another good thing to do when selling timeshares is to talk about any improvements that are coming in the future. Let your buyers know if a remodel is expected or if upgrades will be made to your unit. These types of things can increase the value of the timeshare and will help your buyer feel like they are getting more for their money.

Lastly, when you are selling timeshares be sure to talk about how much you have enjoyed vacationing there. Show pictures and talk about good times you have had. Let your buyers know how long you have been coming there and how many memories you have made with your loved ones. Playing to a potential buyer’s emotions can work in your favor.

It is possible to sell a timeshare with a little bit of work. In my opinion, I think it is best when selling timeshares to play up the vacation aspect of it. For example, if you have a las vegas timeshares, talk about how it is cheaper to vacation in a timeshare than without one. If you have savvy potential buyers and try to talk about how it is a good investment property then you will probably lose the sale.
