If you’re looking to sell your Marriott timeshare ownership, you may be overwhelmed by having to navigate the resale market. The dizzying amount of information to consider when selling can make it difficult to know how exactly to protect yourself and your property. In this article, we’ll be teaching you how to sell your Marriott timeshare with no upfront fees.
What To Avoid
You should always be cautious when you’re dealing with your hard-earned property. There are many integritous, licensed brokers on the timeshare resale market, but unfortunately the reality is that for each one of them, there’s at least another unlicensed advertising agency who probably won’t produce results for you.
The common pitch is to over-quote you on the price that your ownership can be sold for, then provide some reason why you you’ll need to pay an upfront fee to start the process. Whether it’s a listing fee, processing fee, advertisement fee or any other reason, NEVER pay anyone out of your pocket to sell your ownership.
These listing companies are only interested in one thing, getting more listings. Their marketing dollars are spent attracting sellers, and the buyers that it takes to sell your ownership fall by the wayside.
Ask yourself, would you pay your Realtor before they sell your house for you? Don’t make that mistake with your timeshare ownership.
Selecting A Broker
The Marriott timeshare resale market is saturated with companies vying to help you sell your Marriott timeshare, so selecting a broker can be a challenge. Any honest broker will employ the services of a closing company that will hold your buyers funds in an escrow account until the end of the transfer. Once Marriott has confirmed the transfer of ownership, the broker is paid directly from escrow. This means you should never have to pay commissions or transfer costs out of your pocket.
A Few Questions To Ask Yourself
-
Is the broker you’re speaking to licensed in their state of operation?
-
Are they using a licensed, bonded, and insured closing company?
-
Is the price they are quoting you too good to be true?
