Take time to share quality time with loved ones. That's what timeshare is all about!	Warning about mandatory up-front listing fees and appraisal fees There are many companies, some of them very well known, making a lot of money from questionable activities other than actually selling the timeshare, such as upfront listing fees, or appraisal requirements. Several very important articles have been published in the very popular consumer watchdog timeshare-owner's magazine, TimeSharing Today at www.tstoday.com. These articles discuss sellers wasting money for mandatory unnecessary appraisals or from mandatory up-front fees. These fees are usually non-refundable. Both Timesharing Today Magazine and the A.R.D.A. Resale Task force have published that they are questioning the policy of some resale companies, wherein a timeshare appraisal must be submitted as a pre-requisite of listing a timeshare for sale. The ARDA Task Force officially bars members from requiring an appraisal. ARDA - American Resort Development Association, is the timeshare developer's watchdog organization for the timeshare industry. The ARDA website is www.arda.org The above sources point out that mandatory upfront appraisal requirements look suspiciously like an upfront fee. Due to abuses in the past, law in the State of Florida now prohibits mandatory upfront fees. The only sure way to protect yourself from wasting money on upfront fees, appraisals, advertising fees, is to list for sale only if the commission is due at the close of sale and there are no other fees upfront no matter what they are called! An appraisal is nothing more than an estimate of value based upon comparable past sales which result from a free-market offer and acceptance. We give such estimates of value at no charge.
