Overview
Do You Have an Offer to Buy Your Timeshare?
Do you have an offer to buy your timeshare and need representation to ensure it is not a scam? We can help. Our team of attorneys and investigators can review the contract and help you navigate the difficult process of selling your timeshare and closing the transaction.
But first, there are a couple of key factors to consider before proceeding with any offer.
Key Questions to Ask First
Before You Accept Any Offer — Review These
Most timeshare resale offers are scams or carry terms that don't benefit the seller. Work through these questions before signing anything.
What have other timeshare owners sold their units for? Not what they have listed — the actual sales price. This is something you need to research before proceeding. In most cases, timeshares have little to no resale value on the open market, and many are listed for $1.
Look at actual completed sales on timeshare resale sites, not listing prices. If you cannot find completed sales at a meaningful price, the "offer" you received may not reflect actual market value.
Do you have true ownership in a piece of real estate in the form of a fractionalized deed? One way to determine this is to look at your deed. Some clues could be the language on your deed — for example, if your deed uses phrases like "right to use" or "license," you may not hold title to real property at all.
Without a true deeded interest, the buyer may not have anything enforceable to purchase, which can complicate or invalidate a sale.
Timeshare resale scams are extremely common. They typically involve a "buyer" who needs you to pay closing costs, transfer fees, or taxes upfront before the sale can complete. The buyer then disappears — along with your money.
Legitimate buyers never ask you to pay money upfront. Any request for payment before a sale closes is a major red flag. Our team can investigate the offer and the party making it before you proceed.
Many timeshare contracts give the developer the right of first refusal — meaning they can match any offer and buy the timeshare back from you themselves before you can sell it to a third party. This can delay or derail a legitimate sale.
We review your contract for this provision before you invest time negotiating with any buyer.
Any outstanding mortgage balance or delinquent maintenance fees will need to be addressed as part of the sale. In many cases, the amount owed exceeds what any buyer is willing to pay — making a traditional sale impossible without additional funds from the seller.
We help you understand the full financial picture before entering any sale agreement.
Scam Warning
The Timeshare Resale Market Is Full of Scams
The timeshare resale market is heavily populated with companies that collect upfront fees, promise buyers, and then disappear. The FTC has issued repeated warnings about timeshare resale fraud.
Upfront fees are always a scam signal
Legitimate timeshare resale transactions do not require you to pay any fees before a sale is completed. If any company asks for money before delivering results — walk away and call us.
Our team can investigate any offer or buyer before you proceed, verify that the closing process is legitimate, and represent you through the transaction from contract review to closing. We let our lawyers deal with their lawyers.
