Frequently Asked Questions

Certain resorts may levy a transfer fee. Payment of this fee can be done by either the buyer or the seller. Both parties can even split this cost, should they choose. Regardless of which party pays the transfer fee, kindly inform us of who is responsible, and we will process the fee.

In order to expedite matters, your certified bank check or cashier’s check must be made payable to the Autree-Line Account, a standard Escrow Account in which your purchase funds are safely held until the transfer documents are received by the appropriate parties. This account earns no interest. Releasing these funds from escrow is contingent upon your total satisfaction with the manner in which the terms of sale are observed by the seller. The sale goes forward only when you, the buyer, are ready to proceed.

An Estoppel Letter will contain all information from your resort about the status of taxes and other fees. Unlike most timeshare closing companies, our Estoppel Letter/Resort Disclosure Packet is included in the price of our service. This gives you an added measure of security during a timeshare purchase.

First, we provide you and the other party with an easy-to-complete Contract that you fill in with the terms you have agreed upon, sign and return to us. The Seller(s) are also provided with a “Resort Release Form”, which they sign and return to us. This form is sent to the resort; and based upon what we learn from the resort in the form of an Estoppel Certificate, we then construct a correct transfer document. Next, we send the transfer document to the Seller, and a copy of the document goes to the Buyer, along with a request for the necessary funds for Escrow. When the Seller returns the transfer document we scrupulously review the document to make sure that it is in order. Next, the transfer document then goes to be recorded with the appropriate State and local authorities. Taxes and recording fees, are paid at this time. Upon receiving the deed from the appropriate agency, we send a letter notifying the resort of the change of ownership. A copy of the deed is also sent to the resort at this time. Then, lastly, the deed to the property is then sent to the buyer.

Payment is entirely contingent upon us receiving the following: For a transfer of deeded property, we need: The purchase funds from the buyer The deed which transfer the ownership of the unit For vacation club memberships or right-to-use timeshares, we need: The correct transfer documents The purchase funds from the buyer Additional confirmation from the resort
