Re: when buying a timeshare ask the right questions... (by Steph M.):
I have seen your discussion and we are currently thinking of buying a re-sale product and your advice as to asking how owner benefits differ between a re-sale purchaser and a direct purchaser from the resort.
I also noted your advice to check that the deeded ownership is free from encumbrances before we purchase.
My questions are - who can you rely on to give you the honest answer to those questions?
The resort will want to promote direct purchase and will "say" these are the benefits as opposed to a re-sale purchase. Likewise the re-sale person may not disclose any or all encumbrances. How can you check this?
Once again any suggestions appreciated.
