1. Can I sell my timeshare if I still have financing on it??
Yes! If you have an outstanding loan balance, it’s typically paid off directly from the buyer’s purchase funds during closing. You won’t need to pay it out of pocket.
2. How long does a timeshare closing take?
Most closings take between 30 and 180 days, depending on the resort, ownership type, and responsiveness of all parties involved. Factors like title review, resort approval (if required), and document processing can affect the timeline.
3. Do I need to pay for an appraisal?
No. Timeshares are not appraised like traditional real estate—and they weren’t when you originally purchased yours from the developer. There’s no market-standard appraisal process, so paying for one isn’t necessary or useful in determining resale value.
4. Do I need a lawyer to handle the closing?
Not at all. Trading Share Vacations works with licensed, bonded title companies that specialize in timeshare transactions. For one affordable flat fee, we manage the entire closing process—including attorney-reviewed title work—ensuring your ownership transfers cleanly and legally, without the high cost of hiring a private attorney.
1. Should I charge nightly or weekly rates?
That’s your choice! Many owners set their rental price close to their annual maintenance fees—this way, they offset costs while offering guests excellent value. We support both nightly and weekly pricing structures.
2. Do I need a rental agreement?
While not legally required in all cases, we strongly recommend using a written rental agreement. It protects both you and your renter by clearly outlining terms like check-in/out, responsibilities, and cancellation policies.
3. How will I receive rental offers?
It depends on your listing package:
With our For-Rent-by-Owner option, offers are sent to you for review. You can accept, decline, or counter directly.
With our Book Now package, renters reserve instantly online—no back-and-forth needed. You’ll receive automatic confirmation and payment details.
4. Why use an escrow service for rentals?
An escrow holder safeguards the transaction. Rental funds are held securely and only released once both parties fulfill their obligations—like check-in confirmation and property condition—giving you peace of mind and financial protection.
