What’s needed to sell timeshare

[kdorward]

Was looking at maybe selling some of my Marriott timeshares. To sell them what information do I need. We moved and lost information in the move. Do I need deeds or certificate saying I own the resort. Would I be able got get from Marriott information that I would need.

You would need your ownership deeds, and I doubt if MVC would be of any help in providing them. I believe that LT Transfers, a reputable timeshare transfer agent, does have a service where they will retrieve copies of your deeds for a modest fee (I didn’t need that service but I recall that it was quite reasonable.) Or you could potentially go directly to the County Recorder's office in whatever county your property or properties are in and pay them for copies of the deeds (I'd use LT Transfers because it would be a lot easier than trying to do it yourself.)

So a timeshare transfer company can get a copy of the deeds. I am thinking about having a company that sells timeshares handle the sale, so hopefully they will handle everything

That would be a mistake. [redacted]

That would be a mistake. List what you have here and Tuggers can suggest to you an exit strategy that is in your best interest

I'm curious, Why? Unless you think OP meant a timeshare exit company and not a timeshare transfer company (like LT Transfers).

"Company that sells timeshares" <> LT Transfers.

I read it as listing it with a company that sells timeshares. The OP did say: I am thinking about having a company that sells timeshares handle the sale.

I have used LT Transfers. They are a very professional outfit. They do not sell timeshares. They do professionally handle the paperwork required for a transfer.

They could also mean a broker.

Any "Broker" will likely lighten your pocket more than need be.




That said, post an ad on Redweek (website below):

Once you find a buyer then it's time to hook up with LTTransfers and they will handle things from there.

This is how I sell my Timeshares and it works out nicely (more money in my pocket). Click on the LT Transfers website and you can read all about them.

If your timeshares are in the USA, then go to the county recorder website for the county in which your timeshares are located and obtain your own copy of the deed you were originally provided. No need to pay another company to retrieve it for you. If you engage the services of a timeshare broker (someone who is licensed to sell real estate, not an exit company scammer), then sure, they can go online and get a copy. But you might want to be able to provide a copy to make it easier.

This works in many cases, but some counties charge fees or require a subscription to access their documents. I believe Hawaii is like this. Sometimes it is easier to just have a company like LT, who I suspect carries these types of subscriptions, to do it vs. an owner paying the fee for something they need only once. I believe most Florida counties make getting a copy of the deed online free and easy. That isn't the case everywhere but it should be the first place the OP checks.

I am aware that some counties charge a fee for obtaining the copy. If anyone goes to a third party to retrieve that copy, the cost will typically be more because you will be paying that third party a fee to do the work plus the document copy cost. Also, many times the info is available, but the fee applies if you want to obtain a certified copy. No need to obtain a certified copy to simply verify what you own.

1) To the OP - please don't post all the details of what you have for sale here in this forum: it will be considered advertising and will be deleted.

2) It's widely felt that redweek's full-service resale services are slow and indifferent.

3) Not everyone is prepared to market their timeshare themselves. In that case, I'd use a reputable broker, instead of Redweeks's services.

YMMV

If you'll post what resort and more specifics, I think we can help more than just answering general questions. You mentioned certificates and deeds. For resorts with certificates like Aruba, you'll need the actual certificate or a replacement. For deeded weeks you'll need a copy of the deed that you might have from when you bought it or can usually get off the website. As noted, some locations charge but most don't. The only one I've come across that charges is Branson though there are likely others I am unaware of.

Again: You cannot post specifics of what you have for sale in the discussion forums: that is considered advertising and it will be deleted.

Denise, I don't think we can give adequate advice without more info than what we have, at least the resort or location.

Feel free to advise by private message. In the past, when specifics were posted in the forums it almost always generated offers in the forums, and we don't want to do that.

We transferred 2 Hawaii weeks maybe 18 months ago to daughter through the transfer/title company Marriott liked (I think it was American Title or something). Not cheap---like 700 bucks each. But they had the titles. We did, too, but they said don't bother sending them, we have them here.
