Do I need to Hire an Escrow Company to buy a timeshare? (by Thomas G.):

I found an individual owner, who is willing to sell his Studio at La Samanna, Brigantine, NJ for $2,000.00.

The Sales rep at GMAC/Timeshares Only was nice enough to let me contact the owner directly (I was not comfortable at all when she quoted like $1,600 in fees if I were to let GMAC handle the transaction).

My question is what is the minimum expenses I can get away with in this transaction? Of courcse, I want to make this as inexpensive as possible. Title insurance? Deed Recording? etc?
