HOW TIMESHARE WORKS
Click and choose what information you would like to see or scroll down.
Timeshare or as some call it Vacation Ownership, started well over 30 years ago in the French
Alps. Timeshare offers the consumer the opportunity to purchase luxury accommodations for
a fraction of the cost of full ownership. You are only paying for the time that you use and it offers
so much more flexibility than full ownership.
So before you purchase a timeshare week or points, you owe it to yourself to check the resale
market. Rising costs in resort development have accented the true value of purchasing a pre-owned
timeshare villa. The purchase of a timeshare week requires a financial commitment. The secondary
market (timeshare resales) can offer you the very best values. The timeshare weeks available on
the resale market are being offered by resort associations or individual owners who, for various reasons, have decided to sell their timeshare. As a general rule, you can expect to save 50% to 70% compared to current developer's prices. In some cases you may be fortunate enough to find a week at a tremendous savings due to
foreclose for non-payment of the yearly maintenance fee.
With resale listings in a number of areas, we offer you a wide selection that can fit your needs, lifestyle and pocketbook. Defender Realty, Inc. is all you really need to know. We have buyers wanting to sell.

| Like most things there are good and bad companies handling resale's. A legitimate resale company that lists your timeshare week for sale, will never charge you an up-front, appraisal or advertising fee. We advise our clients to never, never pay anyone up-front fees. Once you pay them, you will probably never hear from them again. Defender Realty, Inc. charges a commission when the week/points are sold. There are companies with very familiar names in the real estate world that are charging up-front fees. They use that familiar brand name to try to convince the consumer. Don't be fooled by this. Keep in mind that if it sounds to good to be true, it probably is!
"Success" in reselling timeshare is a term earned by selling weeks, not just listing them. You deserve a comprehensive marketing program and at Defender Realty, that's what you get. If, for some reason, you must sell, we can assist you from listing, to finding a buyer, to the closing, For complete details on our sales program, call us at 1.800.799.0798.

Taking the Timeshare Tour |
"Our offices are located in some of America's favorite playgrounds."
While you are on vacation, you may be approached by another company to tour one of the area's timeshare resorts.
We encourage you to do this. You will receive valuable information about the area, the resort, the timeshare industry and you will receive a gift for your time.
This tour does not obligate you to purchase anything. This is the Resort's most effective way to advertise their product.
One important thing to remember about the Resort that you tour is that the pricing is marked up approximately 44% to 50% to cover the cost of marketing.
They will probably drop the price two or three times while you are there. They will tell you that it is a "Today Only" incentive, but remember you will still be paying hundreds or even thousands more than it will be worth. This is the way that they pay for the gift that you receive.
Again, tour the resort, then come see us and get the honest and straight facts and save BIG. Remember, we can sell the same resort, deed, points and rights of ownership that they offer and do it AT A MUCH LOWER PRICE. WHY PAY MORE?
