Why do some companies charge an up-front fee?
While we can’t say why other companies do what they do, it would seem that most companies charge up-front fees to create a cash flow. From sellers who have shared their experiences with up-front fee companies, it seems that these companies are more focused on collecting the up-front fees than on selling the timeshare. Whatever else you may consider to sell your timeshare, we recommend you stay away from companies who ask for money before they’ve earned it.
