A buyer, seller, broker, or industry professional contacts us by phone, email, or through our website. We confirm the transaction details and determine whether the ownership is deeded or membership-based.
The seller provides a recorded deed, membership certificate, or other proof of ownership. We then verify the resort account information, including maintenance fees, assessments, and transfer requirements. Once the agreed funds are received and secured in the closing account, we open the file.
Title insurance is not required for this process. We prepare the necessary transfer documents, including a deed for deeded ownership, a closing statement, and any other required forms. Each party receives clear instructions for signing and returning the documents.
Any remaining funds are requested according to the buyer’s closing statement and secured in the closing account. We review the returned documents for completeness and accuracy before proceeding.
For deeded ownership, the completed deed is electronically recorded with the appropriate county and state. The original recorded deed is then mailed to the new owner, and a copy is provided to the resort or management company. For non-deeded ownership, the required transfer documents are submitted to the resort for final processing.
Most closings take approximately 30 to 60 days. Timing can vary based on how quickly documents are returned and processed by recording agencies and resorts. We move every transfer forward as quickly as possible and keep the parties informed.
