GETTING YOUR MONEY BACK FOR A TIMESHARE: Selling a Timeshare Through a Third Party, Using Intermediaries: How Specialised Agencies Handle Timeshare Sales
Written by Nelli Margolit
Timeshare resale agencies are independent entities that aim to profit from facilitating transactions between timeshare owners, typically private individuals, and potential buyers. Their operations closely resemble those of real estate agencies, with one key difference: they do not arrange viewings of the properties for buyers. This is because potential buyers usually have prior experience with the resort in question or already own a week or points there. These resale agencies do not conduct presentations or employ primary sales techniques; instead, they work exclusively with buyers who are already familiar with the timeshare system. After receiving a request from a potential…

Timeshare Help Line in Italy
Written by Nelli Margolit
Help Line International has been in business for over 25 years. It was originally created to assist timeshare buyers and owners to solve any problems related to their timeshare ownership. In 1996, the company opened its first office in St. Petersburg to help the local residents and residents of the Leningrad region, but due to our cooperation with such international companies like RCI, Interval International, Travel & Leisure Group, Club La Costa, Nexus Leisure; RMI, Costafield Management, Heritage Resorts International, and others, we were contacted for the assistance by clients living in other cities of Russia, such as Moscow, Rostov-on-Don,…

RCI 50th anniversary
Written by Nelli Margolit
On February 4, 2024, RCI celebrated its 50th anniversary. We join in congratulating our valuable partner. The story of RCI's successful journey can be read HERE We would like to share the history of relations and successful cooperation between RCI and our company Help Line International. When RCI opened its office in Moscow, Russia in 1996, they encountered confused timeshare buyers who were demanding refunds for their timeshare purchases from RCI, thinking that they had purchased from RCI and not from the marketing companies. We were the only timeshare experts to come to rescue RCI from these wrong accusations. In…

How Much Can You Get from Selling Your Timeshare?
Written by Nelli Margolit
What amount can you expect when selling your timeshare? Typically, the benchmark is the price at which they are currently selling at presentations. Assuming your buyer, including those recently offered at presentations or members of your club who already own a timeshare week, your offer should be lower than the equivalent at the presentation. We recommend setting the price a few thousand lower than the presentation price. But what if sales at the resort have already ceased? Then it's worth looking at timeshare prices in a similar club, with the same level, status, and awards, in the same tourist zone…

Timeshare Resale markets in different countries: Part 6. Why are Italian Real Estate Agencies Not Succeeding in Selling Timeshares?
Written by Nelli Margolit
There are a lot of timeshare resorts in Italy, but not enough. Following the timeshare boom in Spain, timeshare came to Italy in the early 80s. The timeshare resorts started spreading over the entire Italian coastline, in all ski regions, and close to numerous places of attraction and cultural heritage sites. But that's where the similarities end. Like any other country new to the timeshare industry, Italian authorities faced the task of describing timeshare legally, creating regulations to ensure control over the industry, and ensuring the safety of buyers and owners of this property. It was decided to classify timeshare…

Global Insights: Analyzing Timeshare Resale Markets Worldwide. Chapter 5: Timeshare Resale Market in Asia Pacific.
Written by Nelli Margolit
The timeshare market in Asia Pacific is considered the youngest. Historically, it was developed and refined for European tourists, who were invited there by European timeshare sellers. One of the pioneers in the region was the Royal Resorts group, which is now part of the Karma Group empire. Founded by an enterprising entrepreneur who climbed the timeshare sales ladder in Tenerife, from a street consultant inviting tourists to presentations to a sales director who invested all his money in a resort in Goa, India, it is now the most well-known group of resorts in the region. These resorts are located…

Global Insights: Analyzing Timeshare Resale Markets Worldwide. Part 4: What's Wrong with Finnish and Scandinavian Timeshare Resale Market
Written by Nelli Margolit
Of all the Scandinavian countries, the most active buyers of timeshares are the Finns. Finland is indeed a unique country when it comes to timeshares. The timeshare boom in Finland coincided with the economic boom of Finland as a whole and was not related to foreign visitors, as was the case in other countries. Finnish resort developers, having studied the concept of club vacations, promoted it as domestic tourism and property ownership. Finnish legislation is unlike any other: Each cottage at the resort is registered as a separate company, which is part of a consortium of companies (club). When you…
