Time-share Trickery

Any unsolicited contact particularly with the promise of a big payoff - is a red flag. Never pay upfront fees and on average, one-week units sell for $20,000 new and, on resale, fetch as little as a few thousand dollars depending on market conditions.

Expect to pay a 10 to 30 percent commission to a legitimate agent in real estate for resale.

When listing online, stick with established website, and before doing business with any reseller, check it’s reputation.
