A Note From The CEO
What's going on with the Timeshare Industry?
The future of timeshare resales and rentals will be through the internet and 1800MyCondo
is here to serve you in that regard. Timeshare owners are increasingly aware of
the many scams that promise great results if you only will give someone up front
money in the form of a listing, appraisal or promotion fee. These unnecessary fees
make prices unattractive to buyers and cause poor results for sellers. 1800MyCondo
knows this direct interaction between owner and client will reduce expenses and
boost the number of successful deals.
Every week thousands of prospective buyers attend resort-site timeshare presentations.
These presentations promote a strong desire in many to become timeshare owners.
The prices quoted at such presentations have been steadily rising. In 2007, the
American Resort Developers Association reported the average purchase price was over
$19,000 for one week of timeshare. Frugal buyers are searching the internet for
better prices. A growing percentage of people who have taken a tour of a timeshare
resort are now turning to the internet to locate a less expensive alternative to
on-site pricing. In the past six years, the percentage of internet timeshare sales
has risen from 2% to approximately 35%.
Many of the current generation of timeshare buyers have experienced timeshares with
their parents, friends or relatives. They have seen firsthand the amenities and
upgrades available with vacation ownership. These people are internet savvy, and
don't hesitate to search the internet for buying or renting options. These potential
buyers have also learned from their parents, friends, or relatives that it can be
financially unwise to purchase a timeshare directly from the resort. This generation
knows how to find a better price. Where do they find that better price? They search
the great opportunities listed on 1800MyCondo.
This website has been developed because 1800MyCondo is aware the timeshare resale
market has reached a point where it now needs a site run by professionals experienced
in timeshare. Scott Riddle and his staff have worked with thousands of timeshare
buyers and sellers. We can help you get the results you desire regardless if you
are seeking to sell or rent your timeshare ownership interest or if you are seeking
to purchase or rent your first or additional timeshare.
