20. Slide 20 15/10/2012
Timesharing and rental pool are actually two very
different concepts
Exchange companies do not manage your resort
Fractional sale companies do not work for 2%
commission
Timesharing will not clear your 90% unsold units
Timesharing will not improve your 80% vacancy
rate
Choose an effective management solution before
choosing an aggressive sale team
Final suggestion: plan carefully before you act
Do’s and don’ts for developers
