Timeshare License Information

We've been telling people for years to only do business with reputable persons and organizations. I've also been saying for a long time now that it is perfectly acceptable to ask to see the timeshare salesperson's license before doing business.

Here is a list of states and the required license to sell timeshare.

Al, you are 100% correct, which is why I have been talking about the need for a Global Timeshare Sales License for several years now...which would include ETHICS.
