Mys husband and I successfully disposed of our Mexican timeshare thru the TUG Marketplace and now would like to do the same with our Grandview t/s in Las Vegas. I wrote up an ad, found out the procedure & got the form for selling our RCI points, and then contacted Grandview to find out which sale/transfer form(s) I would need to sell the timeshare itself. I received the following email from Grandview:
Thank you for contacting the Grandview at Las Vegas,
PLEASE READ THIS MESSAGE IN ITS ENTIRETY AS IT CONTAINS IMPORTANT INFORMATION!!!
RESALE
The Grandview at Las Vegas does not have anyone affiliated with the resort that resale’s timeshares. However, we can inform you that in order to sell your timeshare you will need to enlist a Real Estate Agent or a Timeshare Resale company. [Text colour mine.] You may also want to look into www.timesharetoday.com. Keep in mind you are able to gift your timeshare to a family, friend, or charity if you wish. Contact the charity before offering to gift the timeshare to them.
Please be advised that there are companies out there that will try and take advantage. Do your research and NEVER give money upfront, the best way to verify if a Resale Company is legit is by checking with the Better Business Bureau.
Here in the Owner Services and Reservations Department we do not keep a list of agents or companies to assist with this matter.
BUY BACK
Currently we do not have a buy back program. However, you may be eligible to deed back your timeshare. Contact the Concierge Department at 888.629.9593
RENTAL
There is also the option to rent out your week to off set any future maintenance fees. If this is something that you are interested in, let me know and I will send you a rental agreement to review.
Thank you and have a Remarkable day!

I was very pleased to see the advice about not paying any money up front and being very careful with resale companies. I looked at www.timesharetoday.com but I'd rather get advice from TUG. We haven't yet contacted the Concierge Department about possibly deeding back our timeshare as we would prefer to sell it if at all possible. We’re quite willing to sell it for the cost of the maintenance fees (which have been paid for this year) and transfer fees, if possible, as we realize that the market is glutted and the odds of getting any kind of profit are pretty slim. What also complicates matters is that we live in Canada.
My question(s) for this forum is: are there any really good, honest timeshare resale companies out there? Should we go this route or should we just try deeding back? I know this is a long post, but any advice from fellow Tuggers would be much appreciated. Thank you.
