TUG member listings are included with membership. That means you can post your Want to Buy listing in the marketplace and reach owners directly without relying on high-pressure middlemen or expensive third-party services.

What is a “Want to Buy” timeshare ad?

A resale wanted listing is a marketplace ad created by someone seeking a timeshare for sale by owner. Instead of browsing every available ad one-by-one, you can post exactly what you want and let owners with matching inventory contact you.

Destination

Tell owners where you want to travel, whether it is Hawaii, Orlando, Myrtle Beach, ski country, or a specific city.

Dates or Season

Include exact travel dates, a target week, or a flexible seasonal range to improve your chances of a match.

Resort or Brand

Looking for Marriott, Hilton, Wyndham, Disney, Westin, Hyatt, or a specific resort name? Put it in your ad.

Unit Size & Budget

Specify whether you need a studio, 1BR, 2BR, or larger unit, and include a budget range if helpful.

Why post a resale wanted listing?

Save time by letting owners with matching resales find you.
Increase your chances of finding exactly what you are looking to buy.
Be clear about exactly what you want, including dates, location, and unit size.
Connect directly with owners instead of relying on high-fee booking services.

What should you include in your ad?

The more specific your listing is, the better your chances of hearing from owners with the right resale. A strong ad usually includes:

Your desired travel destination or resort
Your check-in and check-out dates, or a flexible date range
The unit size you need
Any must-have features, such as beachfront, ski-in/ski-out, kitchen, or pet-friendly
Your approximate budget or price range
Whether you are open to comparable resorts nearby

How do owners find and contact you?

Once your ad is live, interested owners can respond directly through the marketplace. A clear and detailed listing helps attract better matches and more useful responses.

If you are flexible, say so. If you only want a very specific resort, week, or view, make that clear too. The better your description, the more qualified your replies will be.
