Are you a Marriott Vacation Club owner looking to transfer your ownership? Whether you’re looking to sell your timeshare or pass it down to a family member, the process can seem daunting at first. But don’t worry – with the right information and guidance, transferring ownership can be a smooth and straightforward process.
Step 1: Determine Your Ownership Type
Before you begin the transfer process, it’s important to understand what type of ownership you have. Marriott Vacation Club offers two types of ownership: deeded and non-deeded.
Deeded ownership means that you own a specific week or weeks at a particular resort, and your ownership is recorded in the local property records. If you have deeded ownership, you will need to transfer the deed to the new owner.
Non-deeded ownership, also known as points-based ownership, means that you own a certain number of points that can be used to book stays at various Marriott Vacation Club resorts. If you have non-deeded ownership, you will need to transfer the points to the new owner.
Step 2: Find a Reputable Resale Company
If you’re looking to sell your timeshare, it’s important to work with a reputable resale company. Look for companies that have been in business for several years and have positive reviews from previous clients.
Once you’ve found a company that meets your criteria, they will guide you through the transfer process. They will also help ensure that all necessary paperwork is properly completed and filed with Marriott Vacation Club.
Step 3: Complete the Necessary Paperwork
Whether you’re selling or gifting your timeshare, there is certain paperwork that needs to be completed in order for the transfer of ownership to be official. This paperwork may vary depending on your specific situation and state laws.
Some common documents that may need to be completed include a purchase agreement, estoppel certificate, and transfer of ownership form. Your resale company or Marriott Vacation Club representative can help you determine which documents are required and guide you through the process of completing them.
Step 4: Pay Any Required Fees
There may be fees associated with transferring ownership of your Marriott Vacation Club timeshare. These fees can vary depending on factors such as the type of ownership you have and the state where the resort is located.
Be sure to carefully review any fees associated with the transfer process before proceeding. Your resale company or Marriott Vacation Club representative can provide you with a detailed breakdown of all fees.
Step 5: Enjoy a Smooth Transfer Process
With the right preparation and guidance, transferring ownership of your Marriott Vacation Club timeshare can be a smooth and stress-free process. By working with a reputable resale company and completing all necessary paperwork, you can ensure that the transfer is done properly and legally.
Whether you’re looking to sell your timeshare or pass it down to a family member, don’t let the transfer process intimidate you. With these steps in mind, you’ll be well on your way to successfully transferring ownership of your Marriott Vacation Club timeshare.
