Re: Buying timeshare on Hawaii

[Q=cynthia2 The resorts are charging the transfer fees, not the closing company. For example, Consolidated Resorts charges $550 in transfer fees to new owners who buy resale. It is the developer's way of making money off of resales. They are double dipping, in my opinion, but to get the property for half price, it is a small price to pay. I dislike developers and especially dislike those developers who hold on after the property is completely sold out. We need more independent HOA's that can hire their own management companies. Consolidated owns almost nothing on Maui anymore, but owners are stuck with them anyway.[/Q] Thanks for the reply! At least it seems you read my post before replying. Love the replies giving advice or comparing apples to oranges when that isn't the question! I still wonder why the price charges are so different for same resort from one seller to another.
