Resale VS Retail

Why buying a resale makes good sense

The slick sales presentations that are a familiar part of timeshare tours can be tempting. Resort developers increase their profits by relying on tourists making impulse buys. The friendly and persuasive salesperson wants to negotiate the top price and commission for the property.

A smarter route to timeshare ownership involves making a sound and informed choice rather than a spur-of-the-moment decision. Buying resale properties directly from owners, who for various reasons no longer have use for their timeshares, not only takes the pressure off of the buying process, it also can save you thousands of dollars.

Usually resales come with a deeply discounted price – sometimes as much as 80 percent off the current resort prices – and a wide variety of properties in exotic locations all over the world. Sellers set their prices competitively to encourage buyers to choose their property over the resort developers’ prices.

When you purchase from the resort, the price you pay includes the developer’s administrative, sales and marketing costs, in addition to building costs, the salesperson’s commission and the developer’s profit. When you buy a resale, you only pay for the market value of the property, without all the other overheads.

While you pay less for your resale property, you definitely don’t get less! You benefit from all the same amenities as if you purchased from the resort developer. Your timeshare properties will typically come fully furnished with TVs and DVDs and include a full kitchen with dishes, utensils and linens. You’ll also have access to the resort’s array of swimming pools, spas, game rooms, playgrounds, restaurants and more.
