Tip 4 - Commissions

Timeshare commissions vary from between 10% to 30% of the selling price for most transactions over $6,000. For transactions under $5,000 commissions may be higher and subject to a minimum. In any case the commission amount should never exceed 50% for any transaction. Regardless of the amount, all commissions should be paid at the close of escrow to provide the maximum incentive to your agent to successfully complete your transaction.

ALWAYS MAKE SURE THAT YOUR LICENSED AGENT HAS A COMMISSION INCENTIVE TO BUY OR SELL YOUR TIMESHARE.

A final note - whether the seller or buyer pays the commission is really of no consequence since the net amount paid to the seller at the close of escrow is the same. This is because the actual price is adjusted downward when the buyer pays the commission.
