Owner to Owner

Although we aren't allowed to get involved in sales, we are allowed to have a "bulletin board" type system to help current owners who want to buy reach current owners who want to sell, and vice-versa. If you're trying to buy a week, your form is here. If you're trying to sell your unit/week, you'll find the form you need here. You may also want to visit our Message Board, where we've recently added boards for owners to advertise for buying and selling unit/weeks at Canada House. PLEASE NOTE: The buying/selling boards are set up to be used only by registered members. If you are not a registered member of the Message Board, you will not be able to SEE the buying/selling boards. Please do not send us email asking where the buying/selling boards are if you are not a registered user and are not signed in to the Message Board! Thank you!

Here are some questions I hear often, and the answers to those questions. Please keep in mind these answers are not negotiable.

Q. How much does this owner want for the unit/week?
A. We don't ask, we don't want to know. The owner provides a telephone number on the form -- please call and ask about the selling price. Most owners are willing to negotiate. The Association cannot be a part of that negotiation process.

Q. Will you sell my week for me if I give you a commission?
A. No. Sorry, but the Association (and its employees) really are NOT allowed to get involved in sales.

Q. Do you know anyone who wants to buy my week?
A. If you are interested in selling, please feel free to fill out our "Owner to Owner Resales" form. We will add your information to the database, and if someone who is interested in buying wants that particular location and timeframe, s/he will call you.

Q. What happens if a potential buyer sends a form in by mail, and a potential seller sends a form by fax? How will they ever get each other's information?
A. The O2O information started out as a book, but it's now actually kept in a database. Anytime we receive a new form, either for buying or selling, we run a query to see if there's a match. If there is, I contact either the buyer or the seller (usually the person who sent in the newest form) and give them the other person's information. That person can then take it from there, just as if he had gotten the information directly from the book himself. We still do not get involved in the actual negotiation or sale.

Q. But I really need your help in selling this unit/week!
A. If you feel you can't sell the unit/week on your own, please contact someone who is a licensed Realtor to assist you. The Association and its agents are legally prohibited from brokering a sale, and none of us wants to get into legal trouble for the sale of a timeshare. No matter how much we like you. :o)
