Frequently Asked Questions About Buying Timeshares and Timeshare Brokerage

1. Why should I invest in timeshare real estate?
You shouldn't, if to you "invest" only means, "money returned for money spent." Timeshare real estate is NOT about investing... at least not for financial gain. Historically, timeshares do not appreciate in value like other types of property, but frankly, neither does the car you drive and that doesn't stop millions of people from purchasing, using, and enjoying new or resale automobiles.

Buy timeshare property because you want to invest in a lifetime of great vacations and buy because you know that the cost of renting hotel rooms and vacation homes will continue to increase every year. Timeshare locks-in the price of vacation accommodations for as long as you own the timeshare property.

2. Is Timeshare Brokerage Services able to buy and sell timeshares in any country in the world?
Absolutely! Our experienced timeshare brokerage experts can help you buy or sell timeshare properties anywhere in the world.

3. We've already decided which timeshare real estate we want to buy. Do we still need your services?
Selecting a timeshare resort property to buy is an important step but it is only part of what it takes to buy the timeshare. Some of the most important issues of your purchase include the transferring of the deed, finalizing of all steps of closing, transferring funds via a secure escrow account, and the follow-up with the resort that is necessary after the sale is completed. Knowing what to do, who to contact, and the quickest way to get the job done correctly is one of our specialties and represents knowledge we've built at Timeshare Brokerage Services through years of industry experience. Because the transfer of ownership requirements vary from resort to resort, state to state and certainly country to country, it is difficult for the individual to get up to speed quickly and handle his or her own closing. Using a timeshare broker gives both the buyer and the seller assurance that job has been done thoroughly and correctly and that neither party will be hit with unwelcome surprises down the road.

4. How difficult will it be to exchange my timeshare week for vacations at other resorts and will I have to pay additional fees?
There are a number of variables that affect the ease you will have exchanging timeshare properties. The desirability of the season and the week you own affect exchange opportunities, along with the number of bedrooms in your timeshare, amenities at the resort and general desirability. In many cases you will need to pay an exchange fee and in other cases you will need to pay for membership in an exchange club. More than anything else, how far in advance you plan and how flexible you are about your travel options will determine your ease to exchange your unit and week for time at other resorts or in other seasons. Your timeshare broker will help you understand your choices and possible restrictions before you make a decision on which timeshare property to buy.
