Well orlando is saturated why buy there?? In fact I think purchasing directly from Marriott is the best! How about if your title is not clear?? What would happen then?
If someone's primary destination is Orlando, then it makes sense to buy in Orlando. That way, it's possible to make reservations at ones preferred resort, without paying an exchange fee. Also, because owners tend to get preference regarding room requests, it's a way to increase the likelihood of getting preferred views or preferred proximity to such resort features as the main pool.
I'm not sure I would use the word "saturated," but I agree that Orlando has a huge supply of timeshare accommodations. That means Orlando is an easy destination to trade into (except for Disney Vacation Club, which is difficult for studios, 1BR and 2BR, and impossible for 3BR). It also means that Orlando may not have quite the trading power of low-supply-high-demand locations. But quality counts for a lot too. The Orlando Marriotts are all very high quality resorts. The large supply also means that there are excellent resale prices in Orlando (except for Disney Vacation Club), because realistic sellers know they must sell their weeks for a fraction of what they paid.
It is not necessary to buy from Marriott to have a professional closing, a clear title, and title insurance. When somebody buys from a reputable reseller, a professional closing a normal part of the process. Even when buying through eBay or from a TUG listing, the buyer simply has to insist on (and pay for) a professional closing and title insurance.
