Resale Brokers

[cruise-o-matic]

Besides Atimeshare.com and The Timeshare store, are there any other recommended brokers?? Links would be nice

 

[Mr Poohbrain]

We used vacationonly.com and things have gone well so far!

I've never heard of vacationonly before, but they seem to have quite a few listings. Has anyone else had any experience with them?

I used both the Timeshare Store and *********** (I think that is the name of *********** company) I attempted to use the Lou Ried company, but they don't really seem interested in selling the timeshares to customers. (I called and emailed several times and got NO response!)

Thanks for the info.

I also tried a Yahoo search. Other than the 2 in my first post, the pickens seemed to be slim. Most did not have listings or want you to email them, etc.

I see that the disboards ***** out verbotten names. Must not be a sponsor (or directly compete with one). I hope I have not violated any posting rules or etiquette.

No rules or etiqette broken at all. In this case, there is one resale broker where our site guidelines have been abused and our word filter no longer allows that name to be posted. All others are welcome.

Dean has posted a list in the past and I'll repost that here (he also updates it from time-to-time and may be able to again now).


From Dean:
There are lots of places to find contracts. Besides
The Timeshare store, atimeshares.com and Lee Reid's
site that are the "specialists". I used ERA Stroman
and have now bought 2 expensive timeshare through
them and had two other contacts that didn't go
through. I had a previous BW contract that DVC
bought back and a Paradise Village contract that
fell through because the seller owed more on it than
he agreed to sell it for and couldn't come up with
his part.

At ERA stroman, I worked mainly with Steve Scott
(800) 733-8846 x3149. I also worked earlier with
Jaunita Jones on the PV contract. Steve was willing
in all cases to make the low ball offers and it
seems to be candid with both the seller and buyer
from what I could tell.

I'd also look at Timeshare Users Group (TUG) http://www.tug2.net ,
http://www.floridavip.com/central.htm (a FSBO site
specializing in FL), Century 21 in Kissimmee as well
as canvas the timeshare world in general. Try also
timeshares.com and http://TIMESHARESDIRECT.com/ and
Sharon Eden at http://www.timesharesUSAresales.com/.
The Timeshare Warehouse has some DVC inventory at http://www.Thetimesharewarehouse.com.

I'd also add Timesharing Today ( www.tstoday.com ) to the list.

Hope this helps!

Yes, I've seen several of Dean's posts. He seems to be very Timeshare saavy.

Thanks.

We called vacationonly.com this morning to inquire about the BWV listings. Indications are that a number of the contracts are stripped of current year points (although that doesn't seem to be the case with Mr. Poohbear) which contributes to some of the low prices!
