ARDA

Steve Luba speaks with InnSeason Resorts CEO Billy Curran about the ARDA Convention, which begins today, and the current state of the timeshare industry.

Heading out this week to the American Resort Development Association Conference (ARDA) in Orlando, Florida – officially known as the ARDA 2009 Convention and Exposition.

The ARDA Convention is always an excellent time; it is the premier event in the US for the timeshare industry and all who serve or support the timeshare industry.

For exhibitors, the ARDA Convention means access to almost 2,500 decision makers from over 40 countries, representing the largest concentration of timeshare industry purchasing power assembled this year. For all who attend, the ARDA Convention and Exposition offers the opportunity to hear from experts in sales, marketing, finance, technology, and resort management; it also provides a phenomenal networking atmosphere at the related social events.

What’s Coming Up First at the ARDA Timeshare Convention

On Saturday, March 28, activities start to get underway with the ARDA Supplier Certification Seminar and set-up time for the exhibitors.

Sunday, March 29 means tee time, with the Group RCI/AIF Open Golf Tournament and later that day, the Group RCI/AIF Kick-Off Party. The golf tournament will be on the beautiful Hawk’s Landing Golf Course.

The real meat and potatoes of the convention begins next Monday and several members of the Sell My Timeshare NOW team and I will be at the ARDA Convention. Throughout the next week, I will be posting blogs here on The Timeshare Authority, and hopefully some interviews, too. I will fill you in more on the Keynote Speaker, Dr. Jeffrey Rosensweig; on the daily events; the educational sessions; and the committees.

So keep checking in, as we share with you our experiences in Orlando during the next few days.

The largest timeshare industry convention in the world is coming up next week and we’ll be there with onsite reports.

Sell My Timeshare NOW offers flexibility in timeshare sales services, with options to suit the need of every timeshare seller or buyer.

Some timeshare owners sell timeshare themselves, advertising it on our Sell My Timeshare NOW website. Other timeshare owners prefer to let a licensed real estate broker handle the process for them from start to finish. For those timeshare owners, we offer Timeshare Broker Services.

As a division of Sell My Timeshare NOW, Timeshare Broker Services is a successful fee-based timeshare brokerage that continues to demonstrate that timeshares are selling on the resale market despite the downturn in the economy. In 2008, Timeshare Broker Services closed sales on more than $12 million in timeshare resales. And this year, the number of timeshares sold has increased by 10 percent over this same time last year.

Don Nadeau is a licensed real estate broker and the managing director of Timeshare Broker Services. Don says, “Last year we sold over 900 timeshare resales at Timeshare Broker Services, and we took our commissions after the sale on each one of them. This attests to the strength, integrity, and customer-centric services of our company, and bears out the fact that we provide a much-needed service in the timeshare industry today.”

What Makes Timeshare Brokerage Services Stand Out

Timeshare Broker Services has built its success on a single strategic axiom. As Don reminds people, “We actually sell timeshare!”
