Six Months, One Buyer, One Closed Sale — Russell Delivered

I want to write this review for people who are in the same place my husband and I were in eighteen months ago: convinced that the timeshare you own is impossible to sell, that the resale market is a myth, that the best you can hope for is walking away from something you paid real money for. It is not true. But you need the right person to prove it. We owned a Wyndham points package that we had purchased during a period in our lives when we traveled constantly. That period ended. Our points sat unused year after year while the maintenance fees arrived like clockwork. We tried selling on our own. We tried listing on resale platforms. We got tire-kickers and dreamers and no closed deals over fourteen months. Russell Smith was recommended to us by a travel agent who had seen multiple clients sell successfully through him. We called with cautious hope. Russell's approach was methodical. He listened to everything about our ownership, explained the realistic value of our specific Wyndham contract, and told us that he had relationships with buyers who looked specifically for Wyndham points packages in our range. He was honest that the timeline could be several months — but he was equally honest that the sale was achievable. It took six months. The buyer Russell found had been looking for our specific type of Wyndham contract and was ready to move. The negotiation was brief. The closing took four weeks. The funds arrived at $32,100 — exactly in the range Russell had described as realistic. Standing on the other side of this experience, I want other people to know that a professional with real buyer relationships and specific market knowledge can achieve what feels impossible when you are trying to do it alone. Russell Smith is that professional for us. We are deeply grateful.
