Recording fees vary in Florida by individual county. Figure on somewhere between $18-$40 for recording fees for a customary timeshare deed. You can likley find the precise fees online by visiting the web site of the County in which this particular place is located.

I have $210 for this resort as of today. The transfer fees can change day to day.. They are going up in many of the resorts due to members not paying their maintenance fees etc.. I've seen them go up by hundreds at a time..I have a business that releases owners from their timeshare and I have a list of resorts and fees, that's how I know . hope this helps

Any chance I could get an up to date copy of that list? That way no more surprises when I think I am getting a cheap week. Thanks.

The post you are responding to (by debbies455) is over 7 years old, so I doubt that she will respond now --- 7 years later. A few observations follow:

1. It would be impossible to maintain any such "list" accurately. Maintenance fees at every resort change virtually every year (usually upwards and usually by 4-5% over the previous year --- sometimes more, seldom less). The best source for current and accurate maintenance fee information is each individual resort.

2. Transfer fees (imposed by a resort or its' management company when a timeshare ownership changes hands) certainly don't "change daily". In fact, they rarely change at all. A general rule of thumb would be to expect a $100 transfer fee (although Wyndham charges $299 and Hyatt and Hilton both charge over $600). For "non-chain", independent timeshare properties, you should anticipate the transfer fee to generally be around $100 per deeded ownership change.

3. Closing costs (i.e., new deed prep, official recording of new deed) charged by independent closing entities also generally remain very steady (except that some greedy eBay resellers routinely gouge buyers with truly excessive closing costs). This cost is unrelated to and completely separate from any applicable resort transfer fee. There is no good reason for closing costs to exceed $200 or so (not including any applicable resort transfer fee).

4. debbies455 claimed 7+ years ago to have "a business that releases owners from their timeshare" --- a bogus claim that is complete BS and utter nonsense. No such (lawful) "business" exists and no one on Planet Earth possesses any such magical “release” powers. Accordingly, I would summarily ignore that entire bogus and error-filled post; I don't see much within it that is factually accurate or or at all credible.
