Perhaps you got caught up in the excitement and bought a week at a condo sometime in the past. Or maybe, it was a great idea at the time, but your family has grown up and onward and you just don't use it anymore. Whatever the reason, you now have to sell a timeshare in Florida and you don't know where to begin.

The first step to sell a time share in Florida is to get it priced right. First, get the price you paid out of your head and realize that you're probably not going to get $11,000 or however much you paid out of the place. You need to act like a real estate agent and check out the comparable for your area. See what other similar timeshares with the same number of bedrooms in the same week you have are going for. Then, price yours accordingly. It will sell, if it's priced right.

Secondly, if you're going to sell a timeshare in Florida, don't fall for any schemes asking big dollars out of you because they have someone waiting to buy it on the side. That's not going to be the case. While the occasional small ad fee of less than $25 may occasionally be required to help sell a timeshare in Florida, that's about all you should invest in selling it. It's so tempting to believe the hype and want to spend money to make money, but you have to realize that once the company gets your money, they have no more incentive to work with you. Just say no to their offers.

The bottom line is that to sell a timeshare in Florida, you need to advertise it in as many viable places as possible. Craig's List, Ebay and Bidshare are all excellent places to start along with your home resort's newsletter and bulletin boards. The more you advertise, the better chance you have of selling it. As mentioned before, price sells, so price it as low as you can possibly stand to get the results you want.

If the timeshare isn't for you, there are options to sell it. Take the time to write up an alluring ad and then start submitting it. You'll have it sold sooner than you expect.

This website www.TimeshareSecrets.com has been working for most timeshare owners.  However, they do have limited spots available and might not have an opening when you apply.  If that service doesn't work, then I'd recommend that you wait a week and try again.
