Re: Successful Resales & Rental Feedback Wanted (by Den):

I have purchased two timeshares this year thru a licensed real estate broker and there were no problems. Incidentally, we are experienced timeshare owners and own a number of timeshares - some purchased from Marriott and others purchased in the after market.

Were I selling, I would not pay anything up front and would only deal with a licensed real estate broker on a fee or commissioned basis, payable at the closing thru a reputable escrow company. I can't imagine that anyone would pay a fee up front to sell a home or any other real estate (timeshare interest). Also, don't pay for advertising - the selling agent should pay for this.

I suggest that you look at the Redweek Ads for Marriott Newport Villas, identify a listing being sold by a licensed real estate broker, and call them for information.

I hope this helps.
