Selling Your Timeshare

American Resort Development Association Advises Precautionary Steps in Timeshare Resales Market

Consumer Advisories for Timeshare Owners to Navigate Resale Environment

The American Resort Development Association (ARDA) released three advisories to help consumers and timeshare owners navigate through the secondary market, which includes timeshare resellers, internet advertisers and other resale companies, to ensure a safe and positive selling experience. The advisories were developed to help dispel the growing misinformation and confusion in the secondary marketplace by providing specific tips on reviewing timeshare resale companies, their practices, costs and services in the marketplace.

Resales Advisory I: focuses on the types of timeshare resellers with four steps to guide consumers through the process: utlizing existing resources, understanding timeshare resale companies, choosing the best option, and following basic rules.

Resales Advisory II: provides tools to evaluate resale companies with a list of tips.

Resale Advisory III: ARDA recently learned of a new scheme involving timeshare resales that not only preys upon consumers but falsely sites ARDA as a reference. ARDA does not contract with, become involved with, authorize, or endorse any company’s resales activities.
