Selling Time Share?

A few years back you signed up for what you thought would be a dream time share opportunity. And in the beginning the time share was everything you dreamed. But now you don't have time or like going somewhere else on vacation every now and then and don't use your times share as much. But you still are paying the maintenance fees even though you aren't using it. You really don't want to sell but are tired of the costs, well here are some things that you can do to reduce the costs and get the most out of your timeshare:

Rent out Your Time Share

Instead of selling your time share, try renting it out. Many real estate companies now manage time share rentals as part of their services. Just contact real estate companies in your time share's area until you find one that specializes in vacation rentals. Many times you will be able to find a company that will handle everything from finding and screening potential vacation tenents, to cleaning up after the tenents leave.

Or you could rent the time share out yourself to avoid these fees. A great way to rent your time share is to ask friends and family to see if anyone would be interested in renting it. This works our great for both involved because they will more than likely be getting a great deal, and you will be recieving rent to help offset the costs of the timeshare.

Trade Your Time Share

There are several services out there that will put you in contact with other timeshare owners looking to trade. You just need to determine where you would like to go and they will match you up with someone that has a time share in your preferred destination. In some cases, you might have to pay a fee becuase of the difference in value between to two destinations, but it is still a lot cheaper than letting your timeshare sit while you visit another vacation destination.
