Re: New to time share rentals (by William P.):

Payment to the owner is customary unless in the agreement the owner is renting thru a service that offers escrow. In that sense it's still in the owners name but held by a third party. Until the reservation is complete and no further charges are placed against the renter. When we have rented ours there is always a contract/agreement between the two parties, as to cost, dates of occupancy, and responsibilities and payment made to me in my name. A contract would insure who is responsible for what, not only to insure the resort when you showed up, that have right to use the week you rented. You should ask for proof or been offered proof that the person who you are dealing has what they say they have, and that would be in the contract to rent also. You can also double check the resort that is being offered by calling the resort, to see it is legit. Long story short, ask for a reservation number that you check with the resort, get it in writing as to, dates of occupancy, who is responsible and for what, and if your unsure, ask questions/ GOOD LUCK.....
