A time share is basically jointly owned property. Most people purchase a time share in the form of a vacation property. While most families or individuals cannot afford two homes or to travel to a second home a number of times a year, they have the option of investing in a time share. A time share allows an individual or family to own a portion of a vacation property and time to spend there. Sometimes a time share can be purchased so that one week each year, one week every other year, several weeks a year and in many other time allotments so that the time share meets the needs of each purchaser.
Time share sales are very commonly done by real estate agents that can provide more information about time share sales. There are people who specialize exclusively in time share sales and often have the largest assortment of time share sales to present to any one who is interested in a time share. The idea of time share sales originated in Europe by a ski resort real estate developer who decided to encourage his guests to “stop renting a room” and consider buying the hotel. His time share sales were successful as his former guest became ‘owners’ of the hotel bit by bit. Those involved in time share sales deal mostly with rooms that are similar to apartment or studio units. There are some time shares that offer multiple bedroom homes, but they aren’t as common in time share sales as smaller accommodations.
Time shares can be confusing without someone who specializes in time share sales to guide a buyer through the process. Time share owners are permitted to stay at their vacation resort during a set period of time that can depend on the kind of time share ownership they purchased. Many people who have time shares often allow family or friends to use their time share when they can’t or rent their time to another party. Sometimes one time share owner will change weeks or time allotments with another time share owner to accommodate changing schedules or needs. Another option would be to swap time share locations during a specific period of time with another time share owner to enjoy a different vacation destination. Exchanging time shares can be done privately or through a time share sales person.
While most people involved in time share sales and ownership love their decision to be involved in time shares, there are a number of critics who liken time share sales to travel cons. Doubters believe that time share sales should not require up front payments and those who invest in time shares will never recover the money that they invested. Those who do enjoy time shares believe that they are getting the best value for their money and are guaranteed the kind of vacation they want every time they stay at their time share.
Time share sales have been made to an estimated seven million individuals and families all over the world. Time shares include several thousand resorts that add up to 11 million time share ‘allotments’ that have been purchase. Time share sales are not limited to vacation properties anymore and have extended to luxury items like airplanes and fancy cars.
