How do I trade my timeshare for land?

How do I get started?

It’s fast and easy, and best of all, contacting us carries NO OBLIGATION, and should you decide that this isn't the right offer for you, there's NO PRESSURE and no salesperson will continue to call. Just fill out the inquiry form or call us via the toll free number.

Do you charge any upfront fees?

None. We are not offering to sell your timeshare to a third party - we are trading it for equity in land.

How does the process work?

Just contact us to find out how much equity you qualify for and which community location you can apply your equity to. Our represetative will need your full name, the name of the resort you participate in, and the last four digits of your social security number to verify your identity. It usually takes a day or so for us to calculate your equity and get back to you.

If you're interested in previewing one of our communities, we will schedule your appointment with a manager who will be aware of your special status as a timeshare owner. Multiple timeshares may be traded in. Some rules and exclusions apply.

I'm concerned about giving you my personal info - how safe is my information?

TimeshareForLand.com is a service of Bluegreen Communities, a publicly traded developer of premiere master-planned communities for over four decades. Safeguarding of information is something we practiced long before it was an issue.

We will never provide your email address to a third party, and all marketing emails from Bluegreen have a clear and quick "opt-out" link. Also, we do not require your full social security number to assess the value of your timeshare - just the last four digits.

What if I decide not to trade my equity after establishing the value with Timeshare for Land?

Just tell us that this offer is not right for you - you can choose to not go forward at this time.

What extra savings are offered to me if I trade my timeshare?

We are offering significant savings on land to timeshare owners, and these saving vary from community to community. Plus, the current market for real estate means our prices are already at historic lows. Additionally, you'll benefit by our zero-hassle timeshare trade: no haggling over the value of your timeshare, no listing or selling for you, no advertising fees or broker's charges, and the use of our legal staff to complete all paperwork and closing duties.

You can browse our communities using the community finder at the bottom of this page.

Does my timeshare have any value?

There are two kinds of value when it comes to timeshares - personal and market value. If you're getting the most from your timeshare and using it regularly, it may be a great deal for the financial outlay and hold great personal value to you. If the expenses are too great, or if you'd rather use that money to vacation in new places, or for needs like education or to purchase real estate or other items, the market value is of greater importance.

While popular weeks within a resort development such as Marriott and Hilton Vacation Club can often have value on the resale market, most timeshares are almost impossible to sell - you may have already determined that the "market value" of your timeshare, as of now, is minimal or nonexistent. Meanwhile, rising costs have a negative impact on your own bottom line. We can tell you the exact value in land equity that your timeshare is good for, usually within 48 hours.

Why should I trade my timeshare for land equity?

In today's economy, many people are trying to escape timeshares with the simple goal of reducing household expenses. Timeshare for Land can help you convert timeshare equity to land equity - land in a master-planned community in a desirable location with recreational lifestyle features both in and around the community.

Because we are in the real estate business, we aren't legally allowed to make claims about the investment potential or possible increases in value of the land we offer, though these factors can easily be researched on the internet and through real estate professionals (and we urge you to do so - you'll like what you find!) We can tell you that our communities are impressive and well-planned, and that you can build a vacation getaway or retirement home, whenever you choose. Or you can simply hold on to the land and sell anytime you desire, or add it to your family's holdings for the future.

Do I have to build on my homesite now?

No; in fact, there is no requirement to build, ever. Shuld you decide to build, you may choose your own builder (there are no required-builder lists) and design the home of your dreams. Reasonable protective covenants apply, and they vary based on the community.

Can I pay for my land purchase with a credit card?

Yes. You can finance any part of your purchase with a credit card.

What price range of land is available?

We offer homesites starting at $39,900. With current sale pricing and your land equity trade, you could purchase valuable land for a price less than a decent new car or SUV. And at many of our communities, life is already like a vacation, with "country-club" style amenities, golf, boating, fishing, and more - all close to major employment areas with good schools and great careers.

Beyond the value of land that you can build on or sell, this could be the chance to live "where you really want to!" Let's say you've always dreamed of living in a lakeside community, or in the Texas Hill Country. An affordable land purchase means you can take your time looking for schools or employment in your dream region... wait until the market is right to sell or rent your current home... and then build when you're ready. Bluegreen makes it possible to live in some of the most desirable and FUN parts of the US, for those willing to start on a longer-term life plan.

How long does the process take?

From the date of your agreement with Bluegreen Communities and Timeshare for Land, you will receive your closing paperwork within 7-10 business days. Once you have these documents signed, notarized and returned to the Title Company, the Deed is sent to the County Recorder. Once the Deed is returned from the county, it's forwarded to the resort along with any applicable resort transfer fees. Much like buying a house, the entire process can take 6-12 weeks. Of course, with this many factors involved, it's impossible to give a specific timeframe.

What if I have an outstanding mortgage on my timeshare?

We require that timeshares with existing mortgages must be paid in full before we can begin transfer. You must own your time share interest free from any liens or encumbrances.

When can I stop making payments, including maintenance and tax?

You may be able to stop paying fees immediately upon transfer, though this will depend upon how your payments are billed and other factors. Our representatives can help determine when your payment responsibilities will end.

Who deals with the resort to complete the transfer?

We handle communications with the resort, even notifying them that you are no longer the owner; you will receive copies of all documents.

What if I owe back maintenance and tax fees on my timeshare?

We require that all maintenance fees, assessments, and taxes related to your timeshare are paid up to the current use year. If you are not current with these payments, let us know and we will investigate ways to help.
