Re: Upfront fee resale companies are against the law in Florida .... report them ASAP (by R P.):
It looks to me like the statute was copied and pasted verbatim (not an interpretation) since it shows the exact sections, but below is the main part I was referring to .... it seems to be quite clear that it's against the law to sell timeshares without a real esate license and that collection of advance fees is prohibited:
"Section 721.20(6), Florida Statutes, prohibits the collection of any advance fee for the listing of any timeshare estate or timeshare license, and requires that any seller of a timeshare plan be a licensed real estate broker, broker associate or sales associate as defined in Section 475.01, Florida Statutes.""
