One of the most asked questions when buying a used timeshare is what kind of fees and charges are reasonable and expected when buying? This is a good question since you are buying property and you have a right to know up front what you are paying.

With so many different companies buying timeshares and reselling them, you can expect to pay some fees and charges when completing any transaction. Whether you are buying a timeshare in a highly sought after area or resort, the fees will fluctuate with the popularity of the area.

Since a timeshare is just like any other property, you will own a deed for that property. Since you own it, you will be responsible for annual taxes and maintenance fees charged by the local jurisdiction and the property management company.

These fees are usually under $1,000 per year and taxes can vary depending upon what you paid for the unit. While some higher end timeshare locations can be more expensive, most are around the one to two-thousand dollar range.

You might also wonder if you have to pay any closing fees when you are buying a timeshare from a timeshare reseller. Good question! Chances are the answer will be yes.

Just like when you are buying a home there are recording fees or other miscellaneous fees and charges, there are also in timeshare resales. Consider your timeshare just like buying a used home, however the fees are usually lesser!

No matter how you consider the fees when you are buying a used timeshare, it is still usually greatly cheaper to buy a used timeshare than to go and listen to a 2 to 4 hour sales presentation and pay 10 times more. Buying used timeshares is a great way to own a timeshare without the initial high costs associated with buying a new timeshare.
