Villa Trader (by Paul R.):
I have talked to 2 people at The Villa Trader one of them is named Alex. They also told me they had a buyer for my timeshare and in the first call said the offer would be between $25k and $35k, that seemed to be about what I thought it would be worth with 210,000 points and 19 years left that I have with El Cid. The second caller said that they could do even better and had a buyer that was willing to offer close to $60k,,, That seemed to be a huge red flag to me. Just in the interest of curiosity I did a little checking and they do have a web site www.thevillatrader.com and they are listed with the BBB in Orlando, FL, (just listed not members)and they have 2 offices in FL but I’m not sure that even helps me figure out why they need my money up front. Also Alex said that I would have to pay closing cost on top of the $2k for a title search the other gentleman said the $2k would be all that I needed to pay. Any other information that anyone can share about this company, the need to have a title search done and if the law states that the cost is to be paid by the seller? Thank you and I’m looking forward to your comments.
