When selling a Marriott time-share, there are various issues to consider in order to get the best return on your investment. Conducting appropriate research and presenting the best possible advertisement are just some of the things you have to do to prepare for the sale. This article provides an overview of how to sell a Marriott time-share.

Retrieve your time-share documents and records. These may include any or all of the following: a contract for the purchase of the time-share, a description of the time-share, rules or regulations for the time-share, right of first refusal agreements or inclusion/exclusion documents.

Examine the documentation in order to determine whether there are restrictions on a sale of the Marriott time-share or if there are any conditions of selling the time-share. Look for any document and/or language which refers to a "right of first refusal." This right is one which may be retained by Marriott wherein Marriott has the ability to purchase the time-share prior to your offering it to another buyer. In the event Marriott does not exercise this right, Marriott should execute a waiver document, which is formal notice that Marriott will not interfere with your time-share sale.

Investigate the offering price of similar time-shares. Look for information on completed transactions that will indicate the selling price. Contact the local court office, which records time-share transactions. This office is usually the clerk's office. Call the office and explain what information you are looking for and how to obtain it. Also, contact Marriott and request any recent sales data.

Determine where and how you want to advertise. Be sure to consider regional advertising vehicles, such as newspapers and/or websites. For instance, you may want to advertise your Marriott time-share in areas where a buyer may be located. Thus, if you have a time-share located in the south of the United States, you may want to place an advertisement in a northern-based newspaper. In addition, consider using websites such as Craigslist. You may also check out time-share-for-sale websites such as https://www.sellmytimesharenow.com.

Take great photographs of your Marriott time-share, and include descriptive information. Provide photos that highlight the best qualities of the time-share. Research the potential buyer's background and try to market the time-share to appeal to this background.
