Professionally, I am a California real estate broker with over 15 years of experience as an entrepreneur, giving clients that personal first-class customer service resulting in many millions of dollars of residential sales annually. My transition to timeshare resales was born both out of being a timeshare owner and my passion for real estate. The natural progression to timeshare resales is a result of finding what you love to do. When you love the work you do, it doesn’t feel like work at all!

I’ve been working in the timeshare industry for over 12 years. I
started in the industry with timeshare resales at a Palm Springs resort.
I was later offered a position as Director of Operations for a new
sales development. Though I
learned a lot working in new sales, I chose to go back to resales with
Preferred Timeshare Resales which I find to be more rewarding, as I'm
offering Buyers and Sellers alike, a safe and professional environment
to complete their timeshare transactions.

I have been working with Preferred Timeshare Resales since 2011. I grew up
in West Point California in The Gold Rush country. As a child, I enjoyed
panning for gold, swimming in rivers and lakes, fishing, nature and the
easy-going country life. Right after high school I moved to Lake Tahoe,
California and started in the timeshare industry. I have been in the
timeshare industry since 1981 - over 38 years of timeshare experience
for you!

Our office is not a high-pressure sales environment - In our
no-pressure environment, it helps me to get to know my clients, so I can
help them better. A successful transaction requires listening to my
client's needs, and there is nothing more gratifying to me than a happy
client!
Being a timeshare owner myself, I give my clients the insight they need to make intelligent choices. I look forward to helping you with creating luxury, affordable timeshare vacations for you and your loved ones.

True Stories
"It is not often one can rave about an experience with timeshare resale agents, but we had an amazing experience. Not just once, but three times. I highly recommend Preferred Timeshare; especially Sue McPherson. They assist in getting the best price and are absolutely transparent about the process. Quick and Easy. How good is that?"

"In a business segment with tons of shady characters, Preferred Timeshares Resales is a shining star and an oasis of stability. I recently completed a transaction for the sale of my timeshare and while it was for an amount much less than I would have liked, this was a function more of the saturated market for timeshare resales than anything else. As I was done with using our timeshare and paying the annual fees (escalating at a ridiculous rate), I just wanted out. Sue made this happen. The experience was easy, pleasurable and painless. Sue takes the time to explain the process, makes herself available for questions or concerns during the sale and follows-up to button everything up. I couldn't have asked for a better or smoother process. If I had to sell another timeshare, my first call would be to Sue and Preferred Timeshare Resales. You can definitely count on an above board business that isn't shady, slimy or not looking out for you. Even when I first called Sue, when she walked me through the sales scenario, she was very upfront about how little I'd be able to recoup from my initial investment and said she's understand if I didn't want to follow through with a sale. She didn't try to run a game on me and the whole time I felt she took my interests and concerns to heart."

"After owning a Marriott timeshare for 15+ years we became tired of escalating maintenance fees and reduced availability of desired holiday locations and we decided to sell.Initial contact with the many "brokers" who claim to offer deals which will secure an exit but at a significant cost. We then became aware of the services of Preferred Timeshare Resales ( PTR ) . Our property was put on the market and within 3 months it was sold at no net cost to me ( other than the loss of the initial investment ).The communications with PTR were excellent , all documentation was handled professionally and they succeeded in getting a good deal for our family."

"I was so very pleased working with Gena Grossman of Preferred Timeshare Resales. Gena listened to my needs and wants and found several properties that would work. Gena is very professional and returns calls and emails in a timely manner. I can't wait to use our new timeshare. I highly recommend Gena and this company for anyone looking to buy a timeshare resale. I would definitely use them again should the need arise."

"Preferred Timeshare Resales got me out of my timeshare for less money than anyone else I contacted. Our Grandchildren are no longer interested in visiting the timeshare and the annual maintenance fees were approaching $1,000.00 per year for my every-other-year timeshare. Preferred Timeshare Resales got me out of the contract. Their team was excellent, very polite and professional. They kept me fully informed throughout the entire process. I couldn't have had a more pleasant experience."
