Re: Closing costs (by KC):

christine asked, in pertinent part(s): Re: >> Who usually pays all closing and escrow costs after the sale? - The Seller or the Buyer. <<

Negotiable, but most often buyer responsibility.

Re: >> ... OR contact a private lawyer who would do the closing. <<

NO!!! Do NOT waste a DIME on a lawyer. Closing companies have their own in-house attorney who will prepare (and record) the new deed. Closing company will also handle the escrow of funds from the buyer, and they will ensure that the funds are "good" (most require a certified check). All you need to do is reach an agreed price with your future buyer and then step back and let an established closing company handle any and every other possible detail -- including ultimately sending you a valid proceeds check when all is said and done. I have no affiliation whatsoever with any closing company, but I personally would NEVER buy OR sell timeshare without using one. The fact that they buyer will have to pay the (usually about $300) closing cost fee right up front to the closing company also helps to reassure you that the buyer is both serious and solvent. I have a favorite closing company, but if I name it someone will likely pop-up and accuse me of being a "plant" (I'm not), so I'll instead simply say that you should utilize a well known, long established timeshare closing company of your own choice. Good luck.
