[Q=bobd157] I see allot of folks talk about upfront fee resale companies. Why is Timeshares Only so successful? Maybe they are not. Looking at there website with there 30,000 square foot facility they seem to be doing some real business. If someone did not want to pay high commissions to a broker and basically give the timeshare away, would anybody suggest Timeshares Only? The fee is up front but it seems they do there job. Any thoughts?[/Q] They are successful at getting those upfront fees....where do you think the $$$ comes from? They are not a realty company...because in Florida, a honest real estate firm can not take an upfront fee. They can put your advertisement in a list with all the others....what price would you like to sell your weeks or points for? $ 1000 ??? $100,000 ??? who cares...we already got the upfront fee!! Maybe we can try to snag the buyer who might happen along not knowing to check e bay or redweek or myresortnetwork first. Lets see....how much can we charge them for a finders fee? Or maybe a super deluxe price on a closing? Oh oh! an extra charge for the maint fees and taxes...and the lawyers? What assessments? I would say if you are unsure, go to a realtor....let them earn the commission they work for....selling real estate....not collecting up front fees to they can advertise. No bargans there....someone has to pay for all those TV and radio ads....guess who???
