The purchase process is as follows: You will down load the preliminary document
after filling in your information (a copy is emailed to us) and retain a copy
for your records. You will also download a purchase and sale agreement after
adding all buyers names to the contract and print out two copies. Sit down and
review them both, writing down any questions you may have. Your sales person will
go over them with you. Once they have, you’ll sign both copies and send them to
us with a check for funds to close as stated on the Exhibit A of the agreement OR
if you are financing, with the signed financing paperwork (you will be sent in an
e-mail) instead of a check.
You will be notified by e-mail when the contract is received and will be sent out
a signed original copy of the agreement in the mail. Closing commences (in most cases)
10 days after the contract is received. If you are purchasing a deeded property, you
can expect the recorder to process the deed an average of 2-3 weeks. (some case are
longer) but the closing agents we use know how to get the recordings (or certified
copies sent out) from recording in extraordinary circumstances. Average Deeded week
purchases are done within 45-60 days, start to finish, including the transfer with
the resort.
If you are purchasing a right to use or a club membership then it can sometimes
be less time but is rarely ever more than the deeded processing and closing
(averaging more towards the 45 day mark than the 60.
The management company, in some cases, takes the longest to change their records,
especially in Mexico and the Bahamas (Caribbean in general).
There are several websites online that can provide
excellent information and research opportunities. The
primary sources are on our Exchanges/Ratings
page. Please take the time to do thorough research on
your choices. You can also ask us if we have any first
hand knowledge about a specific resort.
FYI- 98% of all of our buyers do buy site-unseen. 38%
buy from a recommendation of someone they know, or have
conferred with someone that owns or has exchanged into
the resort recently (usually via the internet or some
other timeshare network club).
The cost saving advantages timeshare owners experience is significant. Timeshare
owner's vacation year after year and are not dependent on hotel pricing fluctuations
because their vacation is already paid for. Even though there are maintenance fee's
involved, timeshare owners benefit by vacationing in often larger more luxurious
accommodations with more amenities for considerably less than
at comparable hotels
and resorts.
Timeshares can actually offer the Ultimate In Flexibility. Belonging to an exchange
program gives you the ability to use your week or points to stay at other desirable
locations and resorts around the world. Time share vacations are diverse... from a
log cabin next to a trout stream, to an exotic tropical paradise in the South Pacific,
to the exciting ski slopes of The Rockies, you can be assured that your
accommodations will be first class.
You don't have to be a millionaire to enjoy luxury vacations and accommodations.
You will enjoy the status and royal treatment accorded to timeshare condo owners,
and the condos are everything you want: spacious, beautifully decorated,
convenient, large (up to 4 bedrooms), with kitchens and private bedrooms. Most
resorts have activities and tours, many of which are free.
Timeshare condos have fully-equipped kitchens, so you will feel at home and enjoy
eating in. It doesn't take long to save big on food expenses, not to mention the
convenience of eating in the privacy of your condo.
Life is to busy for a full weeklong vacation? As a POINTS
member, you decide how long you want to vacation, be it
a week or two, or shorter stay of only a few days.
If you buy a vacation timeshare at the right price, it's like money in the bank. If you
wish, you can sell your interest in it at any time. Even if you purchased a timeshare,
used it for 10 years and sold it at the same price, you would have benefitted from
ten years of vacations and received your investment back.
Home resorts offer bargain rates on extra weeks/weekend getaways. Plus there are
extra weeks and weekends available through exchange companies such as RCI
and II, without having to deposit your ownership Week or use your Points.
