Redweek advertising to sell a timeshare... (by Annette M.):
When you've rented your timeshare (assuming you have), did you use First American Title Insurance as the escrow agent? Is there no such thing as integrity and honesty any more? I need some help with renting. RCI is our exchange company and we have 3 weeks to rent. I am trying to price it right ($595), but $164 is going for the exchange fee, $59 to change from our names to new renter, and $50 (half of $100) to First American. That leave us with a "whopping" $322 profit! This was for a 2 BR 2 bath at Sheraton Vistana Resort in Orlando. We reserved Jan. 18 - 25. No one wanted it and we lost our $164. Now we are inundated with emails asking for other weeks (around Easter, which of course are all gone...) How do I prevent us from losing another $164? RCI will only hold for 24 hours and that is not enough time for renters to get their money to us. We don't want to "trust" anyone and lose another $164. We can't travel this year because I have been unemployed for over a year. We cannot afford to lose any more deposit money. PLEASE HELP! Thanks.
