As a seller you can handle the paper work if you provide the buyer proof that both county taxes and maintenance fees are paid current. This can be independly verified withthe county and the resort mangement company. If the Buyer insists on Title Insurance you will need a Title Company. Escrow is handy for all this but adds costs. You can also do your cotract for sale.
=============================================

Personally, If I am the buyer, I don't want the seller handling either ANY of the paperwork (or the money). Further, I want independent verification of no unpaid fees, liens, etc. via estoppel letter. If I am the buyer, I ALWAYS want a closing company involved and I will gladly pay the $300 involved for the peace of mind of having things done EXACTLY RIGHT, promptly, and without having to worry about where my money is...

To each his own, I guess, but I personally think it's nothing short of outright foolhardy for a buyer to NOT insist upon, pay for and use a professional closing company...

Title insurance is a waste of money for any low cost timeshare, at least in my own experience and opinion. Only when you get into "5 figures" or more should you even consider paying the several hundred dollars for title insurance -- once again, just my personal opinion.

The OP in this thread is a seller, and the buyer usually pays closing costs --- so the seller has no reason or motivation on Earth to get involved in a "do it yourself" closing.
