If you’re considering renting your timeshare on your own, the most important thing you can do is make a rental listing that is creative, appealing, and reasonably priced.
Below is a guide to creating your timeshare rental listing.
- Check with your timeshare company to make sure you can rent your timeshare: Some timeshare companies have specific rules or guidelines for renting out your timeshare. Always contact them first and thoroughly review your original contract to understand any potential legal risks before proceeding with the timeshare rental process.
Once you’ve confirmed with your timeshare company that there are no issues with renting your timeshare, be sure to include the following in your listing:
- Plenty of details about your timeshare: Does your timeshare have multiple bedrooms? Are there amenities that would appeal to renters, like full kitchens or an in-unit washer and dryer? Like any item that’s for sale, it’s important to make your timeshare listing as attractive as possible to potential buyers. Your listing should also include details like unit size, location, and available dates.
The listing description is your chance to stand out from other rental properties. Don’t be afraid to add some personality and charm to your description!
- Quality photos: Your photos should clearly show your timeshare and any features that make it special. Photos should be well lit, high resolution (around 3.5 megabytes), and should help paint a picture of the experience your renter will have.
- Listing price: Do some market research to determine how to price your listing competitively but fairly. Transparency about fees and any potential limitations will also help build trust with your renter.
