If you’ve found yourself searching online for “how to sell my timeshare,” you’re not alone. Every year, thousands of frustrated timeshare owners try to sell their unwanted vacation ownership, only to hit roadblocks at every turn. Despite what the resorts and salespeople may have told you at the time of purchase, selling a timeshare is far more complicated than selling other real estate or assets.
In this article, we’ll break down the most common ways people attempt to sell a timeshare, why they often fail, and why working with a timeshare exit company may be your best (and only) realistic option.
In theory, yes—you can try to sell your timeshare. But in reality, the resale market for timeshares is oversaturated and nearly worthless. Just take a look at popular resale websites and marketplaces: you’ll see hundreds or thousands of timeshares listed for $1 or even being given away for free.
Why? Because:
Resorts flood the market with new inventory every year.
Timeshares are often tied to maintenance fees, special assessments, and strict usage rules.
Few people want to buy into an ongoing financial obligation.
Even if you manage to find a buyer (a rare feat), many resorts have “right of first refusal” clauses that allow them to reclaim the timeshare and block your sale.
Many owners start by listing their timeshare on websites like eBay, Craigslist, RedWeek, or specialized resale platforms. These websites charge fees to list, yet many owners report zero interest, no offers, and wasted money on listing fees.
The truth is: the resale market is flooded. With so many timeshares listed for pennies—or even for free—there’s little to no demand for purchasing someone else’s ongoing timeshare contract.
Some brokers specialize in trying to resell timeshares. However, legitimate brokers are rare, and many will refuse to take on a listing unless it’s for a highly desirable resort, like Disney Vacation Club or certain exclusive properties.
Even if a broker accepts your timeshare, they’ll likely charge a high commission (often 20-40%) and may take months or years with no sale.
Beware: many companies claim they can help sell your timeshare for an upfront fee, promising buyers that never materialize. In fact, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and state attorney generals have repeatedly issued warnings about timeshare resale scams targeting desperate owners.
If a company asks for money upfront to list or market your timeshare, proceed with extreme caution.
Some owners attempt to give away their timeshare by transferring it to a family member, friend, or even a stranger online. Unfortunately, most people won’t accept a timeshare because it comes with mandatory annual fees and long-term financial obligations.
In some cases, the resort must approve any transfer—and may deny your request or impose fees.
The core problem is simple: nobody wants to inherit the ongoing financial burden. Between annual maintenance fees (which increase yearly), special assessments, and limited flexibility, the value of a timeshare on the resale market is near zero—or even negative.
Unlike traditional real estate, timeshares don’t appreciate in value. They depreciate from the moment you sign the contract, and the resale market reflects that.
If selling a timeshare is nearly impossible, what can you do?
That’s where a timeshare exit company comes in. Instead of wasting time and money chasing buyers who don’t exist, an exit company works on your behalf to legally cancel your timeshare contract and release you from future obligations.
