These are just a few of the tips from our Tips for Buying a Timeshare on the Resale Market article.  You can view all of the timeshare buying tips at Buy and Sell Timeshares.

1. Buy a timeshare on the resale market to save significant marketing expenses that can consist of up to half of the purchase price from a timeshare developer. These high expenses are the main reason why developers charge as much as they do for a timeshare. Not only can you save 30% to 50% or more when you buy a timeshare on the resale market but you skip the high-pressure sales routine at the timeshare resort.

2. Buy a timeshare direct (without a broker) as it results in a lower price to you because the seller does not have to pay a commission and can afford to accept a lower price for the timeshare.

3. Consider your lifestyle and what you value in a travel experience as you are looking for your timeshare and choose what best meets those considerations.
