Title & lien search
Confirming the ownership is free of undisclosed debts, liens or legal encumbrances, and that the seller is genuinely able to transfer what they are offering.
Secure vacation ownership at a fraction of developer pricing while avoiding the pitfalls of the secondary market. We audit contract terms, fee history and usage rights before you commit a dollar.
Buying a timeshare in the modern era is about securing usage rights to premium inventory. Unlike traditional real estate, it is a lifestyle commitment to future vacations rather than an appreciating investment — and it should be evaluated that way.
Buying is worth it when three conditions line up: you vacation regularly at the same destination or within a brand's network, you can comfortably absorb annual maintenance fees that rise every year, and you buy on the resale market rather than from the developer. For occasional travellers, or buyers paying full developer pricing, the maths rarely works long-term.
That honest test is where we start every buyer conversation — before we look at a single listing.
Skipping any one of these is how most resale buyers lose money or end up in a property they cannot exit cleanly.
Confirming the ownership is free of undisclosed debts, liens or legal encumbrances, and that the seller is genuinely able to transfer what they are offering.
Verification of current standing plus five years of historical assessment trends, so you can see how quickly fees have actually risen at that specific resort.
Analysis of developer-specific restrictions that apply to resale buyers — including whether resale-purchased points lose access to certain benefits or exchange privileges.
Confirming the exact season, unit size and availability windows the seller has described, and what booking reality looks like for the weeks you actually want.
Checking transfer restrictions and any Right of First Refusal clause, which can allow the developer to step in and take the deal at your agreed price.
A written breakdown of purchase price, closing costs and annual obligations before any deposit, so "free" listings do not turn into long-term liabilities.
The resale purchase process typically takes 60 to 120 days from accepted offer to recorded deed.
We define your travel pattern and goals honestly, then identify whether ownership makes sense at all — and if so, which brands and structures fit the way you actually travel.
A rigorous audit of title, liens, fee history, usage rights and booking windows for the property you are considering, with the findings given to you in writing.
Managed escrow and legal transfer of ownership into your name through a licensed title company, with every fee accounted for before funds move.
What buying on the resale market actually costs, component by component.
| Cost component | Description | Typical range |
|---|---|---|
| Purchase price | The cost to acquire the deed or usage rights | $2,500 – $15,000 |
| Closing costs | Deed preparation, escrow and resort transfer fees | $500 – $1,200 |
| Maintenance fees | Annual dues for resort upkeep, paid to the resort | $800 – $2,200 / yr |
| Special assessments | One-time fees for major renovations | Varies — verified before purchase |
We work for you, not the developer. There is no sales floor here, no gift incentive, and no commission riding on whether you buy.
Developer pricing for the same units typically runs 50% to 70% higher than resale, because it carries marketing overhead, sales commissions and incentive costs. Informed buyers shop the secondary market first — with someone independent reading the contract.
VOMGT provides advisory and verification services and is not a real estate brokerage, law firm or tax advisor. Timeshare ownership is a lifestyle purchase, not a financial investment, and should not be expected to appreciate. Maintenance fees typically rise annually and special assessments may be levied. Some vacation clubs restrict benefits on resale-purchased points; all restrictions are verified in writing before purchase.
Talk to an advisor who has no commission riding on your decision. We will verify the property, price the true cost of ownership, and tell you plainly if it does not fit.
No forms, no call centre, no pressure. Tell us what you own and what you'd like to happen next — we'll reply with the options that actually apply to you.
