Creating duplicate, phony deeds as a "solution" (with valid, signed quit claim deeds already out there floating around in SOMEONES possession somewhere) is a truly and uniquely unwise plan, with all due respect.
If the "marketing" company was incorporated, there are names and addresses of the corporate officers on record (info easily retrieved from FL public records by a FL attorney, if so). In the Internet era, one can "run", but can only very rarely successfully "hide".
Doing nothing is obviously not a viable option. However, knowingly and willfully committing fraud by creating new phony deeds, while knowing full well that valid deeds were already prepared and signed (albeit not YET recorded) previously shouldn't be an option given any serious consideration either. The goal, as I see it, is to LAWFULLY get out from under the current unrecorded (...thus far, anyhow) deed. Perhaps a FL attorney can even "persuade" the resort into taking (and recording) a deedback and calling the whole thing a "wash". The resort might find this a more palatable choice than being potentially named in a lawsuit, being subpoenaed for depositions, hiring their own legal counsel and spending valuable time in court for the OP to get to the bottom of the matter. To get the grease, the OP need to promptly become a very squeaky wheel --- but hopefully in a LAWFUL manner. As already stated, initiating new wrongs will NOT actually make anything "right" here...
