What is required for someone to list and advertise timeshares that have previously been sold?

To list and advertise previously sold timeshares, it is necessary to be licensed as a real estate broker and registered as a timeshare resale broker. This requirement ensures that individuals advertising and facilitating the resale of timeshares possess both the necessary legal authority and specialized knowledge of the timeshare market.

Being a licensed real estate agent or holding just a timeshare license does not encompass the comprehensive understanding of the resale process needed for effective brokerage. An agent may lack the specific training and registration pertaining to timeshare resales, which can involve unique legal and operational challenges not present in traditional real estate transactions. Furthermore, simply obtaining a special permit from the state may not suffice, as it does not ensure the individual has the requisite experience and education tailored to the intricacies of timeshare reselling. By requiring both a broker's license and registration as a timeshare resale broker, the state emphasizes consumer protection and ensures that brokers are adequately trained to navigate the complexities associated with timeshare transactions.
