IA Vacations/ American Timeshare Closings (by Russ G.):
The two units I am referring to are Four Seasons Aviara. I don't know what the third unit it. The prior owner's last name begins with an E and is 3 letters long. I can't disclose his identity without his permission. I think the delayed payout is probably SOP with this outfit, as are the lengthy drawn out closings. From what I could tell, their clerical skills leave a lot to be desired, and they seem quite disorganized. They claim that both the county and the resort lost their paperwork. The resort says they didn't get anything until Dec 4 or so, when I inquired. That same day, they faxed in some paperwork that the resort characterized as "all messed up"> I am not sure what there is to gain by taking 6 months or more to complete a closing. It just makes buyers mad because by the time the resort recognizes you as an owner, most of the good booking weeks are gone (for a floating unit).
