I'm wondering if anyone has recently (within the last 6 months) completed a Worldmark purchase, and if so, how long the process took. I purchased a Worldmark membership in February 2018, and I think it took almost 6 months to close. I am in the process of purchasing a new contract and wondering what other people's experiences are with closing times now. While I'd like the closing process to be quick, the seller will be paying maintenance fees until the final closing occurs, so I actually save a small amount of money if the process takes longer. But it would be nice if it didn't take more than a half year. :).

Purchased on eBay beginning of December, 2018. Finalized the second week of April, 2019. So, 5-6 months is about right.

I started the WM resale buying process in mid-February this year and it was completed in mid-August (6 months). I see that another TUG member also started the buying process in mid-February, and the process was just recently completed for them (almost 8 full months).

Since the seller is paying maintenance fees until closing, I guess in some ways the longer it takes the better, as long as points don't expire before closing...

It seems like 6 months is accurate as of now... I purchased mine in early March, but seller took some time (maybe a week extra) to sign papers. Closed in October.
