A. A lock-out unit is a timeshare unit divided into two separate living spaces with two separate entrances. Many times this unit can be used as a one bedroom unit for two weeks or a two bedroom unit for one week.  A lockout can sometimes exchange one week for two weeks.

Q. Will I need a Real Estate broker to sell my timeshare? 
A. No! Real Estate agents are great for selling homes, but do not have a very good success rate with timeshares.  Realtors charge an appraisal fee, which is not necessary, and also commissions on the sale.  They have no way to ‘show’ the properties and do not advertise them except for on a list.  The properties need to be marketed aggressively on a world-wide basis.  When we are contacted, our buyers can search all the properties available without any pressure and without any commissions.

Q. Does my resort offer a resale program? 
A. Most resorts do not offer a resale program. The resorts priority is in the new units where the most money is made.  The more owners the resort has that do not use their time, the more time available for the resort to rent out.

Q. Should I get an appraisal on my property before I sell it? 
A. You do not need to have  an appraisal to sell your property and Complete Timeshare Services does not recommend it.

Q. Who handles the closing? Do I need a lawyer? 
A. We work only with licensed and bonded title companies. The title company handles the closing process from start to finish and a free and clear title is always guaranteed.

Q. Can I use my timeshare and advertise it for sale at the same time? 
A. You can use your timeshare as long as you haven't accepted an offer for the sale. You can use your property until it is sold unless you would like the property to be available for rent.
