A: I am very sorry but the server that runs our websites and also stores our pictures is currently down. They are working feverishly to get the server back up and running. Unfortunately until the server is up we cannot access the pictures.

Branson Missouri 140000 Wyndham Points Annual Timeshare

Q: What are the Closing costs? Are Housekeeping credits included? May Unused points be placed in RCI and the credit pool? May one use points at any Wyndom Resort?

A: 1. The $345 closing costs and $100 resort transfer fee are included in the Buy It Now price.

2. You will receive 1 housekeeping credit for every 1,000 points allocated to your ownership interest for all ownership types. (Ex: For a 2-7 day stay in a 2bd unit you will need 77 housekeeping credits.) With this particular timeshare you will get 140 housekeeping credits each year.

3. You are able to use RCI to bank use. Unfortunately points are only able to be added to the credit pool prior to the beginning of your use year start date.

4. Yes you can use the points at any Wyndham Resort in the points network. (This may exclude some non-Wyndham owned affiliate resorts).

Marriott's Legends Edge at Bay Point Florida Timeshare

Q: I like this property but the weeks are no good for me. Can these weeks be traded for summer weeks?

A: The use on this particular timeshare is the weeks listed. If you, however, join Interval International which is the exchange company that Marriott uses it is possible. There are no guarantees as all exchanges are based on availability. Although being this is a Marriott it definitely has good trading power. You can go to www.intervalworld.com for more information about II (Interval International). If you have any further questions feel free to ask them.

203,000 Annual Wyndham Points Kona Hawaii Timeshare

Q: How do you purchase this over ebay as far as transferring Deed and all of that? Thanks

A: Well as soon as we receive the payment and deed info we fill out our paperwork and send it to the closing company. The closing company takes it from there. They have the deed recorded and then put in for the transfer to the resort. Once we send the paperwork I send you a letter breaking down the closing process and giving you a contact at the closing company. When the recorded deed is received in house you will receive an email with a pdf copy of the deed. We do not send the actual deed until the transfer is complete at the resort.

Q: How many Wyndham points go with this item?

A: This is a fixed week 20. There are no points associated with this account. However, we have many timeshares through Wyndham that do have points. How many points are you looking for? Do you have a specific resort in mind? Do you want annual or biennial? If you can provide me with this information I will be able to find something that fits your needs.

Buying Marriott Resale

Q: Dear bryanwaton,

Hi, I have the following questions:
Q1) What are the disadvantages of owning a re-sale vs an outright purchase from the Marriott?
Q2) Is the lease duration short?
Q3) Can the new owner still trade the week at other resorts?
Q4) Will the owner get full access to Interval?
Q5) Why is this so much cheaper than the Marriott price?
Q6) Why does the owner want to sell?

A:
Glad to answer your questions.

Q1) What are the disadvantages of owning a re-sale vs an outright purchase from the Marriott? We have been selling Marriott for almost ten years, and from the experience of our customers, the only difference is price. If we learn of anything from a developer re transfer of ownership, we would make that information available to customers.

Q2) Is the lease duration short? The Escape Clause is dated for 2060, and more than likely will be extended.

Q3) Can the new owner still trade the week at other resorts? Yes, this is a part of their resort collection.

Q4) Will the owner get full access to Interval? Interval is an option for all owners, but yes of course, should you choose to have that membership, this ownership gives you full access.

Q5) Why is this so much cheaper than the Marriott price? We price according to average market prices between eBay, Redweek and other timeshare resale spaces. This is also a biennial ownership, and that factors into demand and price.

Q6) Why does the owner want to sell? We don't generally ask details, but it looks like this was a lifestyle change.

Please feel free to give me a call. Happy to further help.

RCI Points

Q: Dear 5_star_timeshares,

Hi! We don't yet but we are looking to purchase for the first time. I'd love for you to send me what you have, if possible. Thanks, K

A:
Dear k,

We don't regularly run our RCI points on eBay any longer because they sell so quickly, we sell direct. I see a 92,500 point Annual package at Vacation Village at Parkway that would be an incredible first ownership, and essentially get you anywhere you want to go, and then some--possibly leaving points left over each year for RCI partner programs, like car rentals, etc.

The MF's are approx. $716.00, which is almost unheard of. List price on this is $5995.00, but I can see what our best price is. It has 2011 use.

I'd thought I'd start with the largest Award package I have and we can go from there. It really is important to know what size room you'll need, where and when you prefer to travel.

Happy to further help. Feel free to give me a call or email me directly, francene@emidsouthinc.com
