Update:
Spoke with Wyndham today. Title transferred to my name on 10/14 and that I should be receiving my welcome package in the mail within the next 5-7 days. Total turnaround time took approximately one month.
I'm very happy and satisfied with both the seller and the title company.

Very mixed reviews. The seller seems like an honest person, but the problem is that he uses Pacific Transfer as his closing company.
I did a recent resale purchase at Marriott Ko Olina with selltimeshare.org and Pacific Transfer. The closing took nearly four long and frustrating months.
Because of the ineptitude of Pacific Transfer, I was forced to take over the final step of the closing process myself (i.e. ownership transfer by Marriott). After sending in all the required info to Marriott along with the $25 transfer fee (paid out of my own pocket), it took Marriott just 4 days to get the unit listed under my name. This task is something that Pacific Transfer could not get accomplished in 6 weeks. If I had not taken these steps on my own, this "dance of the dunces" with Pacific Transfer likely would have continued for several more months.
Four months is a ridiculous amount of time to complete a timeshare closing. In addition to this purchase, I have also bought two other timeshares this year. For a Marriott Mountainside week, the closing took just 25 days from start to finish. For a Marriott Maui Ocean Club week, the closing took 55 days from start to finish.
I am just grateful that Pacific Transfer's poor processes did not derail the entire purchase and result in legal action.
The seller (selltimeshare.org) seems to be an honest timeshare resale broker - he refunded to me the $25 transfer fee. However, his alliance with Pacific Transfer is likely to doom his business I fear. There is no reason to put up with the delays and frustrations associated with Pacific Transfer when there are a variety of highly-reputable closing services recommended here on tug. When you are the buyer, you have the leverage to demand a good closing company rather than just go along with whatever the seller dictates. If you choose to purchase from selltimeshare.org, I would advise that you insist on using a closing service of your choosing other than Pacific Transfer.
