I am glad that you are here! I look forward to bringing you a lot of great information about timeshare vacations and destinations throughout the Sunshine State from this new blog.
Our website, Florida Timeshare Pro, is well underway and construction should be completed soon. Once it's complete, we will be your one-stop source for a lot of great timeshare information, tours, values and deals. Wait until you see what we have in store for you!
While this is a new adventure into serving the timeshare real estate market, timesharing far from isn't new to me. I have been a timeshare traveler for decades and own a handful of them myself. While timesharing doesn't work for everyone, it's an experience many enjoy because it's a great way to travel!
I have personally taken 70+ (and still counting!) wonderful timeshare vacations most of which were within the State of Florida, so when we speak about timeshare resorts, it's likely I've "been there, done that" as they say. Each timeshare resort has it's charm and uniqueness and I guarantee no matter what kind of vacation you are looking for, there is a timeshare resort that will meet your needs.
Timeshare vacations and timeshare properties have gotten a bad rap here in Florida because of those timeshare tours and high pressure sales. I assure you, first and foremost, none of that will exist here! As a real estate professional, I find that the timeshare market to be very neglected and misunderstood by many from my peers to the general public. It's a calling and a passion for me to change that!
Do timeshares have value? Well a lot of that is based on perspective and it's a different real estate product than say a single family residential home. If you use and enjoy a timeshare you own and depending on how you bought it and what price you paid, it most certainly can be a good or even great value!
If you are able to purchase a timeshare vacation property at a great price and use it regularly, often times the ongoing yearly maintenance you pay is comparable to what you would pay for a hotel/motel stay in the same area your resort is in. When you look at it that way and factor in the added amenities and comforts of home you get from your timeshare versus a hotel/motel, timeshare ownership can be an extraordinary value if you USE it and that to me is the key.
Timeshare ownership is a piece of real estate, meaning you have something to use, trade, exchange or sell. You don't get that when you plunk down a nice chunk of change for a hotel/motel stay.
While there are certainly over-inflated prices on timeshare properties, my aim is to help you find the greatest deals on the property you want. I want to earn your business and be your Florida Timeshare Realtor! Please rest assured I know the market, can help you navigate it and it's terminology if it's new to you, and help you find a vacation destination that you can own, trade and sell at great prices!
For timeshare owners, I know being an owner myself how it can be difficult and even challenging to navigate the process of re-selling your timeshare should you want to. Timeshare definitely stops being a good value if you stop using it, as the ongoing costs can be burdensome and senseless if you no longer get any value for it. There is a lot of competition in the timeshare resale market and you, as an owner, will find prices all over the board when you do some research online. With 300+ timeshare resort properties in the State of Florida, how do you stand a chance to sell your's over many, many others?
The answer is simple and it's mostly in the marketing! Plus, there are laws that apply strictly to resale timeshares in the State of Florida. The best way to sell your timeshare when you no longer have use for it is to use a Licensed Florida Realtor and Real Estate Brokerage Firm.
There are companies out there who offer you the moon, sun and stars, but bottom line is you need to ask yourself, as a seller, some real questions:
Do they charge up-front fees? Did you know that they are not supposed to in the State of Florida?
Once you pay any up-front fees, what will they do to earn their money?
Do they have any marketing plan at all and any buyers or are they just publishing a list?
Will you have someone experienced in real estate and title insurance on your side, or will you have to complete the transaction yourself from contract to closing - between individuals? Are you armed with all the information you need to successfully do so?
Do you want selling your timeshare to be a stress and hassle-free experience?
What is that worth to you?
