I was contacted by a TBS representative who stated he was seeking a unit for a client. The process he described was as follows: - I arrange for a title search by the title company of my choice (at my expense). - Once the clear title is provided to TBS, they draw up escrow papers and send them to me. - I take the documents to my bank. Prior to signing, the bank contacts TBD to verify the funds for purchase are in an escrow account. Upon verification, I sign the documents. - Bank contacts TBS to advise the documents have been signed and notarized. TBS releases funds. - Bank verifies receipt of funds, then sends the documents to TBS. TBS asked for no upfront fee, claiming the buyer pays their commission. The only expense for which they state I am responsible is the title search. This process sounds legitimate, but the purchase price I have been offered is at least four times the price for the same number of gold time points as I own. Any input would be greatly appreciated.
