Timeshare Brokers

You can’t go to Beverly Hills without expecting a few celebrity sightings. Travel To Go did not disappoint at the luncheon it hosted as a Gold Sponsor of GNEX 2013, supplying a Paris Hilton lookalike for personal meet-and-greets and photo-ops by all the luncheon attendees including the VacationOwnership.com Realty and Sell My Timeshare NOW representatives in attendance.

Hosted by Travel To Go for more than 190 guests, the luncheon was held at McCormick & Schmick’s. As Paul Mattimoe, President & CEO, Perspective Group explained, “It was wonderful to have Travel To Go return as Gold Sponsor for GNEX 2013 and the added twist they included this year for the lunch they hosted was a big hit with all that attended. We really enjoyed the extra layer of fun that the Travel To Go team brought to the conference.”

Jeanette Bunn, President of Travel To Go said, “We were extremely excited to once again participate at GNEX, while taking our sponsorship support to the next level. The Gold Sponsorship level at GNEX 2013 allowed us to showcase the forward thinking, out-of-the-box approach Travel To Go brings to the products and services we create and fulfill.”

For 23 years, Travel To Go has offered travel benefits and services to its loyal customer base, which current includes some 50,000 members.

All of us at SellMyTimeshareNOW.com, VacationOwnership.com, and Timeshare Broker Services join in wishing you a happy, safe, and meaningful Thanksgiving Day and holiday weekend.

However you observe Thanksgiving, or whether you observe it at all, consider taking a few moments today and reflecting on how your life and the lives of those around you can be changed when you pause to acknowledge your gratitude and share its expression with others.

Robert A. Emmons, Ph.D., is known as the world’s leading scientific expert on gratitude. He is a professor of psychology at the University of California, Davis, and the founding editor-in-chief of The Journal of Positive Psychology. He is also the author of the book Thanks! How the New Science of Gratitude Can Make You Happier. Having spent years studying gratitude, Dr. Emmons explains:

Gratitude allows us to celebrate the present. It magnifies positive emotions.

Research on emotion shows that positive emotions ware off quickly. Our emotional systems like newness. They like novelty. They like change. We adapt to positive life circumstances so that before too long, the new car, the new spouse, the new house—they don’t feel so new and exciting anymore.

But gratitude makes us appreciate the value of something, and when we appreciate the value of something, we extract more benefits from it; we’re less likely to take it for granted.

In effect, I think gratitude allows us to participate more in life. We notice the positives more, and that magnifies the pleasures you get from life. Instead of adapting to goodness, we celebrate goodness. We spend so much time watching things—movies, computer screens, sports—but with gratitude we become greater participants in our lives as opposed to spectators.

On this Thanksgiving Day, we hope you will use your expression of gratitude to help you find renewed value in your life; to empower yourself to experience your own life more fully, and to celebrate goodness.

Blessings to you and those you love on Thanksgiving!

In yesterday’s edition of The Timeshare Authority Blog (Timeshare Brokerage Growing and Hiring) we talked about openings for Florida-licensed real estate brokers at our Orlando offices of Timeshare Broker Services and VacationOwnership.com.

As our business continues to grow and buyer demand continues to increase, we need more brokers to respond to the demand. At our companies, we consistently have more buyers than sellers. Having timeshare buyers outnumber sellers, doesn’t mean that every timeshare interval or timeshare points offered sells, (or sells as quickly as the seller would like it to). But it does mean that when you want to sell timeshare there is simply no bigger platform with more interest from buyers than our websites offer.

Hear from Brokers at Timeshare Broker Services and VacationOwnership.com

Frank G. Laroche, our company’s Director of Brokerage Sales describes the chance to work as a timeshare broker with our company as, “a rare opportunity.” He’s referring to the company’s policy of transparency in our process, integrity in our service, and the opportunity for a skilled, caring licensed timeshare broker to earn a very good salary, without having to “show houses” or work weekends like brokers of residential real estate are called upon to do.

But note Frank’s use of the word “caring”. As consumers, we’ve all dealt with company’s who don’t seem to care about our needs and objectives. At Timeshare Broker Services and VacationOwnership.com we do care. We understand that when you want your timeshare sold, it is important that we do everything we can to help make that happen. As Frank explains, “not selling timeshare is a disservice.”

When we sell your timeshare, you are relieved from your commitment to annual fees and no longer have to think about what you will do with your timeshare this year. A new family takes ownership of a vacation product where they will enjoy affordable vacations in spacious, amenity-loaded resorts. And the resort gains a new member/owner who is excited to vacation there, enthusiastic about being a timeshare owner and who anticipates being able to stay current and timely with his or her annual fees.

Richard Cusanti is a licensed real estate broker with Timeshare Broker Services and VacationOwnership.com. He has sold timeshare both as new timeshares for branded hospitality providers (timeshare developers) and sells timeshare resales with us. He’s a perfect example of the high-integrity, high volume timeshare broker we are proud to have as our employee. Richard says he enjoys selling timeshare resales because the buyers he works with have done their research. Having sold in both new and resale timeshare, Richard finds that resale buyers are typically more informed and more educated about timeshare than are buyers of timeshare from developers. In sales of any type, what could be more rewarding than working with clients, that as Richard describes so well, “are buyers who really want the product you are trying to sell.”

Bonnie  Krampe is also a licensed real estate broker with Timeshare Broker Services and VacationOwnership.com and like Richard, she has sold timeshare for developer in the past—many of the biggest names in the hospitality business. Bonnie says, “The thing that I like most about selling timeshare on the resale market is the ability to introduce multiple options for a potential buyer. When working for a developer, you only have the ability to offer one option for every type of vacationer. You must make your produce fit every need. Here, I can take each client; listen to what his or her needs are, and then recommend what really will work for them. I am providing such a tremendous service to both a seller (who can no longer use his timeshare) and a buyer (who saves thousands of dollars).

Besides that, the work environment here is the best I have ever worked in and that is saying a lot, since I have worked with some great companies …”

Why Real Estate Brokers Choose to be Timeshare Brokerage Professionals

We are a progressive growth company and our success comes from uncommon performance. If you want to make sales and close real estate, then you want to be here because we sell timeshare … the numbers tell the story.”

Frank adds, “Our timeshare brokers have the opportunity to touch a lot of clients on any given day due to our resale inventory and our strong internet presence. We offer pay, training, and qualified warm leads and while a timeshare and vacation ownership background may be helpful, our training is so good, it’s not necessary coming in, but strong ethics and a Florida Real Estate license—those are absolutely required.”
