Orlando Timeshare

Hello

I have a timeshare in Orlando, it is mortgage free and I am looking to sell it. Can anyone offer any advice as to how I do this? It can be exchanged to anywhere is the world!

Thanks in advance :-)

    Selling a timeshare isn't easy at the best of times, and values have fallen sharply in Orlando in the recession. There are re sale agents both here and in the US, if the majority of owners are European based, then use a UK company, if they are not, best to try for a US seller but be aware the value will probably be a terrible shock, some people get as little as 10% of the cost. The problem is the continuing maintenance charges and fees to exchange rarely make the deal a good one unless you really like the accommodation and want to return year after year. Just be aware there are as many sharks in resale as there are in the original sale process, many exposed on Watchdog, never pay a penny in advance and do not agree to buy something else, such as a 'scheme' involving cash back at some date in the future, you will just end up worse than you already are
