Sell My Timeshare NOW

What Sell My Timeshare NOW does

Sell My Timeshare NOW operates SellMyTimeshareNow.com, an online marketplace for timeshare resales and rentals, founded in 2003 and headquartered in Orlando, FL with an additional office in Portsmouth, NH. The platform connects timeshare owners looking to sell or rent their intervals with buyers and renters worldwide, hosting 75,000+ active listings across 4,000+ resorts in 1,300+ destinations. Core product surfaces include resale listings, rental search, a Last-Minute Rentals inventory layer, the Book Now / SMTN Checkout instant-book flow, SMTN Loyalty and a Maintenance Fee Protection add-on, all supported by a phone-based inside sales operation that qualifies and converts seller leads.

The business model is a classic two-sided vertical marketplace. Revenue is generated through listing and upgrade fees paid by sellers, advertising placements, rental commissions and transactional add-ons (SMTN Loyalty, Maintenance Fee Protection, closing services). Distribution is driven by long-tail SEO and paid search, producing approximately 3.2M annual site visits and 10,000 daily unique visitors, while partnerships with RCI and Interval International extend listing visibility across the two largest timeshare exchange networks, and a tie-up with Timeshare Closing Services integrates closing into the resale flow.

The company is privately held and has operated continuously for more than two decades, having raised $8.5M from Edison Partners in 2008 and an additional $1.6M in 2010, with no publicly disclosed financing since. It has received third-party recognition including Inc. 5000 and appearances in mainstream consumer press, and reports roughly 1,000 new seller listings added each month, with $254M in cumulative buyer offer value processed through the platform.
