Trades in real estate require a real estate license unless there is an exemption in the law in my jurisdiction. I have not specificially looked into time shares but you can always contact the regulator in my jurisdiction if you are interested.

I think so?? I have never been involved in selling those, so actually I don't know. We have some fractional ownership in the more resort areas, which is what I actually was thinking. But time shares, honestly, I have no idea. -Kasey

Tennessee requires a special time share salesperson license. This type of agent cannot sell regualr real estate, just time shares at the place where they are registered to sell.
