Yes, I did ask for the list of fees in writing. The sales agent said no. He said that he wouldn't give me anything in writing until I paid the $399 first, right now. Then, I asked for a simple email instead of the hard copy packet he was going to put in the mail for my signature (as per Commonwealth Law, he said). He said no, again. He said why would he send anything, even unsigned documents to a non-member. I said that I felt uncomfortable with paying before I'd received anything in writing that explained what I was paying for. He said that those were their membership rules, and I needed to pay first over the phone. He said if I needed to think about it, I could call him back later. I said I would talk to him later.
I called the Rockingham County Chamber of Commerce back and explained the situation. They called NTHC and called me back. RCCC verified that NTHC had said what I told them he said. There was one discrepancy: RCCC said that NTHC told them that the $399 membership fee consisted of $300 resort release fee (not a membership fee) plus $99 listing costs fee. I called the resort. The resort said that there's no resort release fee, only a $50 Certificate of Resale fee that's required by the State of VA.
RCCC recommended that I speak to the NTHC manager instead of the salesperson. I will try and let you know what happens. I hope things go well. Although, I got the impression that this particular salesperson was the manager because he said that he had many years of timeshare experience and that he took over the office for the owner who was in Florida. However, I can still talk to the owner and pray for the best conversation possible. Thank you for your advice and time.
