What VacationOwnership.com does

VacationOwnership.com is an online marketplace and licensed real estate brokerage that connects timeshare buyers, sellers, and renters across more than 35 countries and all 50 U.S. states. Founded in 2003 and headquartered in Portsmouth, the company operates its brokerage arm as Vacation Ownership Brokerage, LLC in Orlando, FL, with Richard Brian Dickinson serving as Broker of Record (License #BK3373141). Its core offerings are Timeshare Resales, Timeshare Rentals, and full-service Timeshare Sales Services targeted at consumers, with marketing emphasizing discounts of up to 70% off developer retail prices.

The platform is built on a standard e-commerce/marketplace stack: searchable inventory filtered by destination, resort, price, unit size, season, and amenities, supported by destination and resort-brand content pages optimized for organic search (covering Disney, Hilton, Marriott, Wyndham, Westgate, and other developers). No proprietary technology, AI/ML capabilities, APIs, or mobile apps are disclosed; the source material explicitly characterizes the technology as conventional. Listings are verified, rental reservations are guaranteed when booked through the platform, and affiliations with RCI and Interval International give buyers exposure to the broader timeshare exchange network.

VacationOwnership.com generates revenue through transaction-based commissions on completed timeshare sales and rentals. The firm advertises no upfront fees for qualifying sellers and does not publicly disclose commission rates. Distribution is direct-to-consumer via the website with phone-assisted sales through licensed real estate brokers (866-633-1030). Customer segments are horizontal: timeshare buyers seeking discounted resale ownership, owners wishing to sell or rent existing weeks or points, and vacation renters seeking resort-style accommodations at below-hotel pricing. The company is privately held, independent (no parent and no disclosed venture or private equity funding), and operates with 11–50 employees.
