Re: Meritage Management > New company wanting to buy your time share (by Marilyn W.):
Thank you so much to the people that have posted here. I think you have saved me a great deal of grief and money! I, too, was contacted by Meritage Management about the purchase of my Playa del Sol Grand timeshare. I tried to do some internet research, and by all accounts, Meritage looks quite legit. Like the other posts, they sent me a purchase offer and said that an escrow company of the buyer's choice would be contacting me. That company was the Silver Star Real Estate Group. Then I learned that I would need to pay an upfront fee to the escrow company (this is how Meritage is able to state quite truthfully that they do no charge any upfront fees -- they leave that to the escrow agent). Fortunately, I found this forum before I went ahead with the deal.
