Timeshare Sales

It should be no surprise that most timeshare sales are actually timeshare resales. Unless you're amongst the first batch to convert a former home or privately owned resort into a timeshare facility, you're probably buying a piece of an already existing timeshare.

That being said, new timeshare properties come into being all the time. The list expands, as more properties are brought into the fold. Somebody spots a property, approaches the owner, and says, "I'm putting together a group that wants to buy your home".

How Timeshare Sales Work
Depending on the number of investors, you put in half, or a quarter, or an eight, or a sixteenth, or on down the percentage scale. For that, you get whatever piece of the pie you paid for. It's as simple as that.

Or almost that simple: because, from there, you have to decide who gets to occupy the timeshare when. It is divided into weeks (or "intervals", which are measured in weeks). Negotiating timeshare sales is largely about who pays what to stay where, when.
