Any one know about All-State Timeshare Services

[AnhtonLe]

Hi,

I have a buyer who is interested in buying my timeshare but insists on using All-State Timeshare Services for the escrow/title company.

Has anyone ever used this company before? And what was your experience with them?

Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

This can be a red flag.

Are you paying for closing, or is the buyer?

How did this buyer find you? Are they offering far more than your timeshare is worth?

If you have to pay ANYTHING upfront - be very suspicious - no matter what they call it.

Scammers will try to convince you to pay upfront fees into a fake escrow account, and then ride off into the sunset with your fees.

I have never before even heard the name of this company --- after a few decades of association with timeshares, let alone "used" them. Has your (alleged) buyer offered any credible reason or explanation why they want to use an obscure, unknown closing entity? Like Denise above, I hear alarm bells ringing loudly here.

If you want to conduct a quick test of buyer and / or company legitimacy, just tell your (alleged) buyer that you will gladly pay all of the closing costs yourself --- but only if using a well known, nationally recognized timeshare closing entity for deed preparation and escrow of funds (e.g., JRA Services, LT Transfers, etc.), even letting them choose among a few different options. They can't successfully run a scam past experienced closers, so if the (alleged) buyer balks at saving money by you paying all of the closing costs to a known, legitimate closing company for the transaction, that would certainly seem to be a very clear indication of ill intent right there.
