WHAT WE DO… AND DON'T DO

We are dedicated to providing a cost-effective realistic and honest way for a timeshare owner or member to rent, resell or give up their interest and transfer their ownership in a given property or club. The most upfront thing about us is our way of doing business. There are no $300, $400 or $500 upfront “advertising, marketing, evaluation or listing” fees. Currently, use of the website is free to those who wish to rent or resell their properties. After a few months—probably starting January 1, 2005—we will charge $10-$49 usd per year to be a member and use the services to advertise, rent or resell your properties or memberships.

We also provide additional services like deed transfers, processing, resort notification and follow up for reasonable prices but only if you wish to use our services. You are never required to. We also provide advice on pricing for your unit if you wish—either for rental or resale. Most Resale and Rental Companies are really just advertising companies and once they have your upfront fee and have your advertisement on their website, they have fulfilled their part of the bargain and are not really interested in how much you are asking for your week either for rental or resale.

In the real world of timeshare resales and rentals—sometimes a far cry from what the salesperson told you when you purchased—the resale price in the marketplace is between 10%-20% of the original purchase price AS A GENERAL RULE. There are exceptions like Worldmark, Marriott, Fairfield, The Royal Resorts in Cancun and a VERY FEW others but if you are thinking of reselling your property for more than you bought it for from the developer or at the same price or even at a 50% “loss” then you will probably be “advertising” and waiting for a long time with no results. I know this is not either good news or even palatable to many but it is the truth.

We are not interested in your upfront fee based on your belief that you will be making lots of money on the sale or rental of the property. If you want to sell or rent your property, we want to help. Contact us at sales@caribbeanresales.com or sales@timeshare-re-sales.com and we will be glad to help. Consultations are free and with no obligation.
