Timeshare resale agencies are independent entities that aim to profit from facilitating transactions between timeshare owners, typically private individuals, and potential buyers. Their operations closely resemble those of real estate agencies, with one key difference: they do not arrange viewings of the properties for buyers. This is because potential buyers usually have prior experience with the resort in question or already own a week or points there. These resale agencies do not conduct presentations or employ primary sales techniques; instead, they work exclusively with buyers who are already familiar with the timeshare system. After receiving a request from a potential…

What amount can you expect when selling your timeshare? Typically, the benchmark is the price at which they are currently selling at presentations. Assuming your buyer, including those recently offered at presentations or members of your club who already own a timeshare week, your offer should be lower than the equivalent at the presentation. We recommend setting the price a few thousand lower than the presentation price. But what if sales at the resort have already ceased? Then it's worth looking at timeshare prices in a similar club, with the same level, status, and awards, in the same tourist zone…

There are a lot of timeshare resorts in Italy, but not enough. Following the timeshare boom in Spain, timeshare came to Italy in the early 80s. The timeshare resorts started spreading over the entire Italian coastline, in all ski regions, and close to numerous places of attraction and cultural heritage sites. But that's where the similarities end. Like any other country new to the timeshare industry, Italian authorities faced the task of describing timeshare legally, creating regulations to ensure control over the industry, and ensuring the safety of buyers and owners of this property. It was decided to classify timeshare…

The timeshare market in Asia Pacific is considered the youngest. Historically, it was developed and refined for European tourists, who were invited there by European timeshare sellers. One of the pioneers in the region was the Royal Resorts group, which is now part of the Karma Group empire. Founded by an enterprising entrepreneur who climbed the timeshare sales ladder in Tenerife, from a street consultant inviting tourists to presentations to a sales director who invested all his money in a resort in Goa, India, it is now the most well-known group of resorts in the region. These resorts are located…

Of all the Scandinavian countries, the most active buyers of timeshares are the Finns. Finland is indeed a unique country when it comes to timeshares. The timeshare boom in Finland coincided with the economic boom of Finland as a whole and was not related to foreign visitors, as was the case in other countries. Finnish resort developers, having studied the concept of club vacations, promoted it as domestic tourism and property ownership. Finnish legislation is unlike any other: Each cottage at the resort is registered as a separate company, which is part of a consortium of companies (club). When you…

For a long time, it didn't occur to marketing companies that Spanish timeshares might interest Spaniards. They sought buyers for Spanish resorts in England, Scandinavia, Eastern Europe, and even Italy. Unexpectedly, 15-17 years ago, Spaniards became active timeshare buyers. They were invited to presentations, and Spanish sellers representing resorts emerged. As a result, all resale companies opened offices on the Costa del Sol coast. But hopes for Spanish buyers in the resale market didn't materialize. Spaniards continued buying timeshares only at presentations. On one hand, Spanish offices had many clients who visited rather than called. This was crucial because face-to-face…

In the previous article about resale markets in different countries, we provided detailed insights into the market.

The first British resorts emerged one after another based on historic estates, aiming to attract both patriotic Britons and Americans fond…
