RedWeek (by Joy Wood Lewis):

Good info!! 👍 Have you used TUG to rent out any of your weeks? Redweek is getting a bit crowded. I've tried using Facebook Market place and have gotten some interest but not like on Redweek. Any other ideas where to post those weeks one ends up not using? Have you tried VRBO or Airbnb?

I have successfully bought, sold, rented (and rented out) timeshares on RedWeek many (20 or so) times over about the past decade. RedWeek is a truly great site and maybe even the best in existence anywhere to accomplish any or all of those above identified specific objectives.

I don't think that you can blame the RedWeek site when (just as a specific example which I've encountered many times, including several times just this past week), the selling (or renting) owner doesn't even really know or fully understand important details of what they own in the first place and consequently cannot provide the RedWeek brokers / agents (if it's a "full service" listing) with complete, accurate and detailed information. Can you blame a broker or agent when the owner says (just for an analogy) "I want you to sell my Chevy for me" (without ever accurately identifying the year, model, color, mileage or condition of the vehicle)? It's very frustrating for everyone involved. Of course, It doesn't help matters when the agent or broker is also completely unfamiliar with (and therefore clueless about) the important and relevant details of a particular advertised timeshare's system, so sometimes no one associated with a particular ad really even has any idea what they are talking about! In fairness however, no one can possibly know everything about all systems in the convoluted and complex world of "Planet Timeshare".

Any and every timeshare-related web site has its' own inherent shortcomings and limitations. My own personal history and experience (after 35+ years now of timeshare involvement) has me very firmly believe that TUG (Timeshare Users Group) is absolutely the best site in existence for obtaining well informed shared timeshare knowledge and experience (these RedWeek forums are really quite lame by comparison) but RedWeek is the very best site in existence anywhere for buying, selling, renting (or renting out) timeshares.

Just my own personal opinion, based upon several decades of direct, first hand experience and ongoing observation. Your mileage may vary.
