Has anyone sold a timeshare through this company, I'm wondering what the standard selling procedure is, they tell me they do a title search and transfer, order and file the legal documents, estople certificate and the right of first refusal, but they don't take their fee out of the proceeds I have to pay it after the buyers deposit is in escrow. is this normal or yet another scam?
I really can't afford to toss anymore money away trying to sell this timeshare.

There is a simple rule of thumb with timeshare business offers:

NEVER pay an upfront fee of any kind - no matther what they call it - REPUTABLE brokers take all fees out of the proceeds.

Upfront fee companies have no intention of selling your timeshare - they make all their money collecting upfront fees.

DON'T DO IT!

It's a scam. You will pay money, and for whatever reason the sale won't complete or they'll just close up shop. Either way you'll be left with no buyer and out the funds you've paid.

Unfortunately we get literally dozens of inquiries like this - like Denise said, any company that asks for upfront money, other than a nominal listing fee of, say, $25 or something, is a scam. And anybody that basically promises to sell your timeshare is for sure a scam.
