How to buy when buyer and seller do not reside in the US

Good evening,

Three years ago, we purchased a week ocean front Marriott timeshare in West Palm Beach. We like it very much and plan on keeping it for 30+ yrs. We bought from Marriott the first week and this time I want to buy from on the secondary market. We live in Canada, If I buy person to person from somebody living in Austria what are the main considerations. What would the first step be.

The first step would be to get in touch with a closing company and let them handle the paperwork. One reputable closing company is www.timesharetransfer.com and Redweek uses American Title.

P.S. There's also a closing company owned by a reputable member of Redweek with the screename of john1671, however I don't know the closing company's internet address. Perhaps john will come along and provide it for us.

Marriott has first right of refusal on all weeks being resold. With that being said, Marriott picks up most units that are being offered below current Market value. Therefore, you can begin a purchase and once it goes across the Marriott desk to be signed off on, you risk the chance of not getting it.

John Faeth, a genuinely nice fellow, died suddenly a few weeks ago. Several RedWeek members made note here of his passing shortly afterwards. He was a great guy. May God rest his soul.
