FAQs for Timeshare Buyers
What is a timeshare?
A timeshare is an agreement with a property owner (usually resort/vacation property) that entitles timeshare buyer to have full use and access of a residence for a specific interval of time. The length, dates, and frequency of the right to use are all negotiable.
Which is better, fixed or floating intervals?
It depends on your needs. A fixed timeshare is for a specific time period, usually for a specific unit. A floating timeshare requires that you reserve a unit during a specific “season.” More popular seasons cost more than others.
What do the colors represent?
Colors represent the different seasons available to owners of floating timeshares. For example, the largest timeshare exchange designates the most popular season as red, a middle group white, and the least popular season blue. Another large exchange uses red, yellow, and green in the same way.
How big is the timeshare unit?
There is no standard size, and in fact, timeshares are available in all sizes from studio apartments to five-bedroom townhomes.
What do I have to bring?
Most timeshares provide a fairly well-furnished residence, with beds, linens, a kitchen with cooking utensils and dinnerware, and a separate living area with typical couches, chairs, and tables. You should plan on bringing any personal items, including soaps, shampoos, towels, and linens, that you need to be comfortable.
Are pets welcome?
Sure! Simply select any pet-friendly resort and typical house pets will be welcomed and accommodated.
How can I exchange my timeshare?
A critical component of the timeshare value proposition is the ability to exchange the use of your timeshare for time at other resorts. Your resort may own other properties and allow you to use your time at any of those, or you can join a timeshare exchange and trade for stays at hundreds of properties around the world.
Why do I have to pay maintenance fees?
Resorts levy a maintenance fee on each timeshare to cover costs for property taxes and insurance, utilities, and property maintenance. The maintenance fee can be an annual payment or more frequent payments as the resort decides.
How can timeshare resales be less expensive than buying from a resort?
Historically, resort developers have relied on a sales strategy that gives away incentives to lure prospects into a high-pressure sales presentation delivered by commissioned sales people. It’s an expensive, but effective, business model. Absent those marketing costs, timeshares settle to a true market value as resellers have little marketing expense and most have already recouped their initial investment through their use of the timeshare.
How can I determine "market value" of the timeshare?
There are many factors to consider in determining market value of a timeshare – the resort, its amenities, the season, the size of the suite, and much more. Let us help with a FREE Comparative Market Survey.
Would I get the same benefits as buying direct from the resort?
Yes, benefits of timeshare ownership attach to the timeshare deed whether that deed is purchased from the resort or a subsequent owner.
Is there a difference between a right-to-use property and a deeded timeshare property?
A deeded timeshare is like any other real estate asset – once paid for it is owned in perpetuity, subject to payment of property taxes. It is transferred by deed registered at the county courthouse. Common in foreign countries that restrict ownership of property by foreign citizens, a right-to-use property only conveys a right to occupy property for a specific period of time.
What are vacation clubs?
Vacation clubs essentially sell memberships in a consortium of right-to-use properties. Members buy points that can be used to reserve time at any of the member properties. More expensive properties require more points. Vacation clubs memberships can be sold and traded just like a timeshare property.
Can I get financing for a timeshare resale?
Yes, there are companies that specialize in financing timeshare resales. We can refer you to several when you’re ready to buy.
