Re: Buying a timeshare/private transaction (by Carrie S.):

When a prospective buyer contacts a resort for information concerning a possible timeshare transaction and they ask for information pertaining to ownership, this is called 'due diligence'. You're really not getting personal information when performing 'due diligence' before buying from a seller. You're merely asking the resort if the seller IS the owner of the week for sale, there are no liens, and IF all maintenance fees are paid to date. I've done this many times.

Thanks, Jayjay.

I have purchased two resales via the resort and have been more than satisfied both times. Title Company always handled the closing. Other than finding out the financial data as I stated above, I also find out what other units might be available and prices. So I have alot more info and pricing info, including rental info.

I have also bought direct from sellers and have been satisfied there, also. But I can get more info, to start, from the resort. I have never had a resort give up private (personal) info (although admittedly I have tried). The more info I have, the better deal I can get. That's just basic Real Estate 101.

I have found out that resales via the Resort have always gone smoother and quicker, due to their experience in handling sales.

Thanks for the clarification.
