Hey buddy, want to sell your timeshare fast?
This is the typical expression used by the telemarketers to hook people into another fraud: the Timeshare resale companies.
Lots of people are getting ripped off, and not just by the timeshare companies but also by the timeshare resale scam companies.
The reason why this happens is that many people who own a timeshare are desperate to give it away, since they’re not able to keep paying the high costs of maintenance because of the economic downturn.
Also, some of them were practically pushed into buying the property due to the high-pressured timeshare presentations, and others have just outlived the timeshare’s usefulness.
Whichever the reason is, anyone who finds himself in those kinds of situations becomes an easy target for the timeshare resale scam companies.
Timeshare Resale Scam Companies: How They Operate
These companies are also known as “Resale Service Providers”. They contact people, especially through phone calls.
The telemarketers claim to the person on the other side of the phone that the resales market is “hot”, and that selling their timeshare will be an easy job.
All they ask for is an upfront fee of about $300 to $700, which varies depending on the location and size of the unit.
After that, they promise to sell your timeshare for an equal price to your purchase cost, or even greater, so you can also generate profits, and that they count on an exclusive customer portfolio full of potential buyers who are interested in getting your timeshare.
Finally, In order to further entice the person, they guarantee to give them the money back in case they can’t sell the timeshare within a certain period.
That’s how the timeshare resale scam companies operate, described in a concrete manner.
Timeshare Resale Scam Companies: How to Avoid Them
There are 5 signs that will let you know you’re being a victim of a Timeshare Resale Scam Company:
- Unsolicited phone calls
- Upfront fees
- No real estate license
- Unrealistic pricing
- Inflated closing costs
If you notice any of those signs, you’re surely getting scammed. We give you the following tips to be prepared:
- Hang Up. If the company reaches you by phone, and you don’t ask for their services, there’s a huge possibility they’re trying to scam you.
- In case you decide not to hang up and hear what they have to say, never ever give your credit card numbers when they ask for the upfront fee.
- Do research on the company, since a large percentage of them turn out to be fraudulent.
- In no way trust a company that offers an unrealistic pricing, if it’s too good to be true, it’s not real.
- Be suspicious of any offers you receive to resell your timeshare. Check on the web to find out if the costs are realistic.
By following the last advice, you’re protecting yourself from the frauds made by the Timeshare Resale Scam Companies.

How can i get out of a vacation club? We totally got caught in one of those and we dont even use it. We are expecting our 3rd child and we really just want to sell it and wash our hands of it.
When you buy a timeshare resale, it saves you a lot of money. You also don’t have to go to a sales pitch to buy a resale timeshare. I think resale timeshares have more pros to them
People still fall for this stuff? I mean, we have the internet nowadays, who buys timeshares or stuff off TV?
i have been contacted by a company. they tell me they have a buyer at this moment who wants to buy my timeshare, which is in puerto vallarta. after speaking with them a couple of times about process, etc., they sent me a $$ figure for the offer. they have now sent me a contract for the sale, which i’m to complete, sign, notarize and fax back to them. there is an escrow account that is being established, and upon receiving the $$ into my account, i then mail the original copy of the sales contract and the deed document. there is no $$ upfront that i pay. sounds strange to me, has anyone heard of this approach yet?
They are a real fraud. After years of scamming we need to bust them up! Tell all your friends, family and neighbours.
A company called Timeshare Sell Now or timesharesellnow.com contacted me and said they wanted to sell my unit. I said sure…..3 days later (today) they call back and said they have a buyer…….I am waiting a call back from their “closing manger”…to tell us the next step….
The only items I find for them on the web are 2 inputs from people saying they had a good experience selling it to them with no hassle and they got their money in 3 months….thats not to say those were from “company personnel”.
Anyone hear about this company ???

I would like to know if there are companies out there that can truly help a consumer get rid of timeshares. I have experienced several companies want money upfront. I was told this is a scam when any company want money upfront.
