Timeshare Brokers

To learn more about the Partner Portal, please read today’s media release: Sell My Timeshare NOW Improving Timeshare Resale and Rental Options for Industry.

This week there is been a lot of buzz about the new Sell My Timeshare NOW Partner Portal for timeshare resales and timeshare rentals.

This new tool provides the first consolidated resource for buying, renting, and selling timeshare inventory. And while it will mean a huge boost for many in the timeshare industry, including resellers, brokers, and HOAs to name only a few, the new Partner Portal will indirectly affect consumers, too.

What the Partner Portal Means for Timeshare Owners

First, the Partner Portal provides one-stop shopping for the consumer within the timeshare industry with the most comprehensive inventory of properties for sale or rent available. Because the Partner Portal Program functions in much the same way as an MLS, prospective buyers and renters can shop online knowing they are seeing the broadest scope of the properties available on the secondary market. But the Partner Portal has value for consumers at other levels too.

The more standardization and unification of the resale industry, the more the consumer benefits.  A regulated and standardized timeshare resales and rental industry is a healthy industry.

As the high-visibility, high-traffic websites of Sell My Timeshare NOW make it easier for timeshare management companies, Home Owner Associations, and even timeshare development and sales companies to move inventory and keep timeshare resorts strong and robust, the product owned by individuals also stays strong and robust.

This week, Sell My Timeshare NOW  rolled out its newest program, The Partner Portal for Timeshare Resale and Rental.

Here’s how this business-2-business platform works:

1. Anyone with clean timeshare rental or timeshare resale inventory can use this service. This means timeshare resellers, resales companies, companies that accept trade-ins, real estate brokers, timeshare brokers, management companies, HOAs, timeshare developers, and perhaps even in some cases individuals who have a large number of timeshares to resell. This includes rental burn inventory and unwanted trade-in inventory as well as choice timeshare resales and rentals.
2. Vendors or industry partners who chose this program log onto the Partner Portal webpage and set up their account. http://www.sellmytimesharenow.com/portal
3. Account set-up is very, very simple. Once that’s done, the vendor then uploads his or her timeshare ads for rental or brokerage resales. The upload process is amazingly easy; it is a smooth interface. You can use our spreadsheet forms or use your own.
4. Uploaded timeshare resales and rentals are then reviewed by Sell My Timeshare NOW, data checked for accuracy, and then ads for these properties are created.
5. SellMyTimeshareNOW or Timeshare Broker Services contacts the seller (or person with rental inventory), finalizes the terms of the account and then the ads go live.
6. These ads appear on SellMyTimeshareNOW’s website. They are standardized to ensure that the information on the ad is complete and factual. Best of all, they gain exposure on the most highly visible timeshare resale and timeshare rental website on the web.

The websites for SellMyTimeshareNOW average 1.7 million monthly pageviews. Listings are non-exclusive and sellers can decide when they want to take down their ads.

Today Sell My Timeshare NOW released its second announcement to the media regarding growth in timeshare sales through our timeshare brokerage division, Timeshare Broker Services.

As we noted, we saw a 109 percent increase in broker assisted timeshare sales for the month of July 2011 over July 2010. These numbers reflect the strong demand there is to buy timeshare on the resale market and the interest in both the large hospitality brand resorts, including Hyatt Vacation Club, Starwood timeshare, Disney Vacation Club, Hilton timeshare, and in independent timeshare brands, that offer quality resorts but may not be as well known.

While our by-owner timeshare sales remain solid, we’ve also focused a great deal of attention this past year on building our timeshare brokerage services, too. It comes down to offering more choices to consumers, and we think that is very important.

Why Offer 2 Different Types of Timeshare Sales?

Timeshare ownership comes in many formats. There are fixed week timeshares, floating timeshare, timeshares owned by deed, owned by right to use, and timeshare ownership through points or vacation clubs. The product a potential seller has may be as small as a studio unit may, or it may be a spacious multi-bedroom, multi-bathroom timeshare. Some timeshares are at high demand locations during popular weeks and others are at more off-the-beaten path destinations, or are during less-busy seasons of the year.

Just as timeshares come in all types, so do timeshare owners. Some people seek to sell timeshare because their family has changed or they simply don’t vacation in the same way they once did. Others are facing a life transition, such as marriage, divorce, relocation, retirement, illness, or any of a number of reasons that vacation patterns could change. And still other timeshare owners want to sell their timeshare so they can purchase different timeshares elsewhere.

One size rarely fits all and clearly one method of timeshare resales doesn’t either.

For owners who want to be hands-on in their timeshare resale transaction, by owner services may be the best option. These consumers pay to advertise their timeshare on the high visibility websites of Sell My Timeshare NOW. When the product sells, the money made is wholly their own; no commission is owed. If a by owner seller needs assistance along the way, we are there to assist them in connecting with the right professionals.

But, many timeshare owners want a turn-key approach to timeshare sales. They prefer to put their timeshare sale in the hands of a licensed real estate professional, and let that timeshare broker take it from there. For these owners, the process is simple and when the timeshare sells, a commission is paid to the broker for his or her services.
Timeshare resales at Sell My Timeshare NOW– it is one service with a choice of two approaches. Please read our full media release, Sell My Timeshare NOW Posts Dramatic Quarterly Gains Through Timeshare Brokerage, to learn more.
