• Step 1: Gather all documents for the sale Gather all documents needed for the timeshare sale such as the resort's name and contact information, the property deed, and the membership agreement.
• TIP: Other information includes any timeshare exchange company affiliation, and the amounts of maintenance fees and real estate taxes.
• Step 2: Establish an asking price Establish an asking price. Join the Timeshare Users Group (TUG) and check their database for going asking prices and get your resort's resale asking prices.
• TIP: Check current and completed online timeshare auctions for going asking prices.

• Step 4: Create an online auction seller's account Create a seller's account at an online auction site. If there are opportunities to pay extra that could increase the number of looks at your timeshare, they're worth it.
• Step 5: Sell your timeshare condo yourself Sell your timeshare condo yourself, or hire a real estate agent to assist with the sales contract, negotiate with buyers, and help with the closing.
• Step 6: Hire an attorney or title company Hire an attorney or title company to help you draw up a sales contract, or use a timeshare closing service such as Timeshare Transfer or JRA Services.
