About Listing A Timeshare For Sale
Understanding the consequences of various types of listings
There are basically four types of listings used by licensed real estate brokers.
1. Non-Exclusive Listing
This is the least restrictive type of listing to the seller, and the type we recommend for timeshare listings. The seller can list with any number of brokers and if it sells, the listing is null and void to the other brokers. Our philosophy is, "may the best broker win."
2. Exclusive Right to Sell. Also known as an Exclusive Listing
With the type of listing, the seller is giving the broker the exclusive right to sell the property. If it sells, no matter who sells it, whether it is sold by the owner himself or any other broker, the listing broker is due a commission. If an outside broker sells it, the seller is liable for two commissions, one to the listing broker, and one to the broker who procured the buyer.
Great consideration should be given before entering into an exclusive listing, because it is the most restrictive listing to the seller. Given to the wrong broker, it just ends up tying up the property without selling. Timeshares are so difficult to sell, we recommend not giving only one broker the exclusive right to sell it. This type of listing mainly protects the broker. The seller is not allowed to list with other brokers or sell it himself without owing the broker a commission.
3. Exclusive Agency
This type of listing gives the right to sell to only one agency. The seller can sell on his own, but not through any other broker, without the liability of paying a commission to the listing broker if the property is sold. Again, this is a very restrictive listing to the seller.
4. Net Listing
In a net listing, the seller agrees to a net price on close of sale, and the broker can keep any amounts in excess of that net amount regardless of the ultimate sales price. While not illegal, the net listing has led to numerous abuses and misrepresentations. As a result, the real estate department of most states discourages them and requires full disclosure of the final selling price to the seller and buyer.

A Quick Note From The Publisher... If you like the article above, you may be interested in the following article which is also related to Timeshares... Vacation Living: Understanding Timeshare Maintenance Fees You're considering a timeshare for your next investment, but you've just learned about additional charges called "maintenance fees." This frightens you a bit because it seems to be just another add-on fee you'll have to pay. But actually, maintenance fees can be a good thing. Imagine buying a vacation home and being able to pay a set yearly fee to take care of all maintenance and other expenses! That would be a dream come true, but it's usually not possible with normal real estate. With timeshares it is possible, and owners are benefiting every single year. What are Timeshare Maintenance Fees? Maintenance fees are paid annually when you buy a timeshare. The fee may cover all or many of the following: timeshare maintenance, furnishings and carpet, property taxes, insurance, cable television, phone and utilities. Those who buy timeshares are financially responsible for the up-keep of the timeshare unit while the condo personnel are responsible for the physical, or hands-on, up-keep of the timeshare unit. Benefits of Timeshare Maintenance Fees Probably the greatest benefit of timeshare maintenance fees is you don't have to worry with the up-keep of your vacation property. The timeshare unit will be cleaned on schedule and receive repairs when needed - without your direct supervision. Obviously, if you buy a timeshare far away from your home, it would be very difficult to keep things running smoothly. For example, living in New York would make it very difficult to supervise Tahoe timeshares, Orlando timeshares or Las Vegas timeshares! The distance is too great. Another benefit is you can cover many small expenses in just one yearly payment. Instead of having different bills for services like water, phone, cable, insurance,...
