Timeshare Cancellation Or Timeshare Resale? What’s the Best Option for You?

Even in a growing industry such as vacation ownership, many people make difficult decisions to sell their cherished timeshares. Whether it is because of a change in financial circumstances or because vacation preferences have changed, sometimes even happy owners need a change of pace. Vacation owners looking to exit or cancel their timeshare contracts are then faced with confusing options. If you’re on the verge of making the decision to sell your property, you might be wondering: what is the best way to get out of my timeshare?

Timeshare Cancellation: Is It a Safe Option?

One of the options available to owners looking to get out of a vacation ownership commitment is timeshare cancellation. There are a lot of companies out there looking for owners who want to offload their timeshares. These companies typically charge a steep upfront fee and claim to transfer your timeshare title to another party.

Generally, these companies work by setting up a shell company. After you pay the upfront fee, the company may then transfer the title of your timeshare to the shell company. But if they do not hold up their end of the bargain and the resort developer ultimately forecloses on the property, your credit will still be on the line.

Owners looking to out of their ownership should not seek help from timeshare cancellation companies as they are not a safe option. In fact, the American Resort and Development Association (ARDA) cautions timeshare owners to be wary of any companies that promise to “cancel” timeshare contracts.

How to Exit Your Timeshare Responsibly

If timeshare cancellation is not a safe timeshare exit strategy, then what is? The safest way to get out of a timeshare commitment is to post it on a reputable online marketplace. Some companies charge steep fees for advertising services that don’t really sell your timeshare.

Researching potential companies before making a commitment is key. Look for a company that uses an innovative marketing platform that ensures they can attract a wide variety of buyers for your property.

Make sure the company you choose is an expert in timeshare resales. The timeshare industry is complex. That means an experienced resale company that knows the timeshare resale market inside and out is necessary.

The resale company you choose should also be able to refer you to a trusted timeshare resale broker. Having experienced, licensed real estate agents available to help guide you through the timeshare closing process is an added benefit to you, the seller. These agents can help negotiate closing costs, draft contracts and refer you to a reputable title company who can hold funds in escrow and perform the title transfer.
