Hello! I am trying to get rid of my timeshare and have a Craigslist buyer. I am selling it cheap, $300 (it was a "gift" to us). The buyer wants a cash deal rather than spending another $300 on a closing company. He is willing to send me a check, then I would handle the deed transfer with the county clerk's office, confirm that it is in his name, and send the deed on to him (after being sure his check cleared, of course). I am wondering if I am opening myself up to any scams here. Not really worried about losing out on the $300 (I just want to be rid of it! I would give it away!) than any possible scams I'm not considering, or any future liability--worried about horror stories of him returning years later to sue us or something! Does using the closing company offer a significant level of security in this regard, or is it extraneous for a low-cost deal like this? It seems that with our plan, the risk is actually all on his end. Any advice you all can provide would be so appreciated.
Thanks so much!!!
