Garza Blanca - Considering Selling

Folks, I am considering selling a Garza Blanca timeshare that I purchased from the developer. Has anyone seen or heard of any history surrounding how well these sell (or not)?

The first rule when trying to sell is to never, ever pay anyone a large, upfront fee to sell, rent out, market, or "cancel" your timeshare. That is a scam.

Seeing that you purchased from the developer, the next thing to keep in mind that you will not get anywhere near what you paid for it so forget about any fantasies you might have about recovering that amount.

Next, are your maintenance fees up to date and the mortgage (or loan to purchase it) paid off. If not, you will have a very hard time (if not, impossible) finding someone who will want to buy or take it.

If you want to find "any history surrounding how well these sell (or not)", you can check out E-Bay's completed sales in that resort you mentioned. That will give you an idea of what units in that resort actually sold for. Remember to differentiate between completed sales and listing prices.

Great info - the primary mortgage is not paid off, however, I'm willing to make up the difference, as I'm thinking I have no choice. All other fees, taxes, maintenance, etc are all up to date. Thanks for the tip surrounding Ebay, I'll see what I can find there. Thanks again for the info.

David M. Did you end up selling your timeshare on Ebay? If so how was the process for you and what steps did you take in order to sell it? Thank you!

Make sure that it has resale value. If this is an RTU, then chances are they have little or no resale value. So be realistic about how much you will be able to get for it. Also, as with many Mexican RTUs, there is usually a huge transfer fee. Make sure you are aware of that.

I would like to sell our Garza Blanca timeshare, which has 5,000 points. The RTU is 2074. Lance, please advise me on how to proceed. I checked your resale listings, and there are currently three available, with one pending contract. What do you think the likelihood of making a sale is? We are asking for $75,000 or the best offer, based on your previous replies.

Currently, we owe $3,263.35, with the payoff due by February 2026. Should we wait until then to sell, as you mentioned in one of your earlier threads? Additionally, do you think we should hold off on purchasing your 125-point program until then?

I know very little about Garza Blanca. If you still owe money, then you won't be able to sell or even give it away. Make sure you have everything paid off first.

I never owned any RTU but they have very little, if any, resale value so hoping to get $75,000 is, IMHO, fantasy.

I would check with the resort the rules and procedures for selling an RTU. If this is in Mexico, there are probably some high transfer fees once you find a buyer.
