Please help me with pricing to sell Hilton Hawaii Kohala?

[DaniB]

Hello,

I am new here. The last kid is about to leave for college and my husband and I won't travel to resorts anymore.

Could people give me an idea of a realistic selling price for Kohala - Hawaii by Hilton Grand Vacations? It is a Platinum with 7000. 2Br 2Bth 12600 points saved for next year. Or 7000 for this year and the rest for the next year. The deed is paid off and has no behind fees.

I took a look at current ads and did not find anything that matched. I don't want to put an ad and keep paying the ad because my price is too off.

Thanks for the help,
Daniele

Kohala Suites by Hilton Grand Vacations in Waikoloa, Hawaii - Timeshare Sales and Resales by Owner

Timeshare sales and resales by owner at Kohala Suites by Hilton Grand Vacations, Waikoloa Hawaii on My Resort Network .

It sounds like you might have .
- 5,600 Saved points from 2020 (expiring on 12/31/2021)
- 7,000 points from 2021 (expiring on 12/31/2021)
- 7,000 points coming in 2022

For 7,000 annual week in Platinum Season at Kohala Suites, I’m guessing no more than $1/point ($7k) plus reimbursement of 2021 and 2022 maintenance fees. A lower price will move it quicker.

Good Luck and Welcome to TUG

Thank you for taking the time to help me out. I have attached a picture of what I have as the point goes. I think I would be very happy selling for 7K plus reimbursement of 2021 and 2022 maintenance fees. How much is it usually the transfer fee? Are there any other costs that I should be expecting?

How did you end up with 7,800 points in 2021 when your annual allotment is 7,000 points? Do you own another deeded week with HGVC?

See the TUG thread below. It covers the process and various fees.

Costs for HGVC member to purchase from another member

If transfer of deed is done via a quitclaim deed, what are the costs for another HGV member to buy my Parc Soleil timeshare? Please define all the terms you use. If transfer occurs in 2021, does new owner get point allotment immediately, or on Jan 1? I assume they get any remaining points I have...

Something doesn't look right (or different from what you think) on your point totals. You have 3 different amounts from 2021 (7800pts)/2022 (6200 pts) /2023 (7000 pts). If you only own 7000 pt annual Kohala Suites, these should all be 7000 pts. At the bottom of your login pt, you should see your Home Week booking status for 2021/2022. Do you only see 1 Kohala Suites by HGV worth 7000 pts Platinum there?

 

[DaniB]

You guys are right. I was thinking about that, and I know what happened. During COVID, I had a reservation to go to Hawaii and canceled. At that time, I had borrowed a bit of point from the following year. When I canceled, the person did not put the points back right. I will be calling Hilton tomorrow to ask them to fix this. They messed up there.

Thank you! I appreciate everyone's help. Does anyone know if this website is reputable? sellmytimesharenow.com

I talked with them about selling our timeshare, but they want to charge $1,900.00 upfront to sell our timeshare. I didn't go through it because I thought this was very susptcions. They said that people go to the presentations and then search prices of aftermarket and buy from them. They said they could sell out timeshare for 15K, which then again I found too good to be accurate and told them no.

If they want an upfront fee, run far far away.

I suggest you contact Judi Kozlowski who has expertise in Hilton timeshare resales and from what I can tell is honest and reliable.

Thank you for confirming. That's what I thought, but the lady sounded so convincing, sent all kinds of presentations. Selling this timeshare is overwhelming. Why don't people make money or offer a service that they would charge me a fee, or a percent after selling, during the escrow? Like a realtor? That's what I would love to have now. I would pay a percentage, which gives an incentive for the person to sell my timeshare as expensive as possible. What am I missing here?

Do you know anyone that used her services? I checked, and this is her website: https://www.timeshareprofessionals.com. Did anyone here use her services before? I am so stressed about being scammed. Does she charge an upfront fee?

They tell you an inflated value, charge an up front listing fee, then let it sit at that inflated value for eternity. They got they want, the listing fee

After I fix my points distribution I think I will try to sell as you said here. Should I ask the buyer to pay the transfer fees? It seems that is about 1.5K in fees. I would be very happy to just get reimbursement of 2021 fees. I would not even ask for 2022 fees. Also, I have 4800 RCI points saved until the end of next year. Could I pass this one to the buyer too? Are the RCI points connected to our names or the Hilton deed?

Scumbags! That makes a lot of sense!

By the way, why do I have one point now? What does that mean?

Yes, Timeshare Resale agents exists. In fact, TUG recommends that you never pay an upfront fee.

Typically the buyer pays all of the fees (closing, transfer, estoppel, etc) and the seller pays the commission out of their proceeds. A sell will not happen quickly. There are more sellers than buyers. So it’s best to bank your 2021 points into 2022. Depending on the timing you may need to pay your 2022 maintenance fee as well to avoid any late fees. A resale agent will work with you to determine the right asking price based on how quickly you want to make the sale.

Your RCI points are tied to your HGVC account. In the thread below, HGVC states RCI points are lost.

I couldn't find an answer to this in either the sticky's or doing a search. I am selling my Hilton ts, and had 3 questions: 1. What happens to my HGVC reservation that is for a time period after the sale? 2. What happens to my RCI reservation that is for a time period after the sale? 3...
