Once again I am trying to sell our unit. Each year I go through this process and I get cold feet. I am very nervous about once I have a buyer. Just don't know who to trust. I have googled so much stuff I am confused. I am looking for a closing company to help with the sale. Appreciate any help in pushing this forward.
I don't claim to know
anything about the legal processes or procedures of timeshare transactions in the Bahamas, but I nonetheless respectfully submit that you
first need to find yourself a willing buyer. No one else is likely going to do that
for you. You purchased this timeshare at some previous point in time, so you must already have
some background and direct personal experience on the transaction process, no?
In the meantime, in case all of your closing details
must be handled in the Bahamas (again, I do not claim to know, but I do recall some past mentions of needing a Bahamian attorney in some instances), you might want to inquire directly of your resort about a recommended local closing entity (or attorney, if necessary). Hopefully, no attorney involvement will even be necessary at all --- but it very well might be. On a completely separate track, also contact LT Transfers in Georgia directly to ask if
they are able to handle your particular resort's Bahamian closing for you (quite possibly not) and get any info or insights or recommendations that they might be able to offer. If LTT can handle your Bahamas closing, they will be your least expensive closing company option; they are reliable and communicative. You'll still need to find a willing buyer on your own first in any scenario however, before
any closing entity can actually assist you with the transaction and transfer process.
You're the seller here, so you should
not (nor ever be asked to) put even one penny up front on the table for
anyone.
If you keep that fact very clearly in mind, your odds of getting "scammed" in a sale would frankly seem to be slim to none.
First step would seem to be to advertise and find a willing buyer; no closing entity is going to find a buyer
for you. Don't get bogged down with Google. Get your info straight from the horses' mouths or you may just get overwhelmed by everything that will get returned by "Googling", much of it likely not even applicable or of much (if any) practical use to you. Make just two direct phone calls above, at least for starters.
Just some thoughts and personal opinion. Others may have Bahamas-specific input or recommendations or personal experience.
Hope this helps a little. If not, 150% of your payment for the above input will be cheerfully refunded.
