I just had the latest sales presentation and asked about sellers on Red Week that were so much less than Marriott. I was told that there is a clause in all Marriott sales that places a lien on everyone's deeded condo. Marriott will let the sale proceed up to the day of closing, and then (if it is one of their prime weeks and locations) they will step in and buy the unit, placing it in their inventory rather than allowing it to be sold. In other words, they will block the sale. Can anything be done about this? They assured me it would do me no good to attempt to buy one of their timeshares unless you are paying a high price for their worst week of the year. That they would allow to go through. This seems to go against the picture they draw at their sales presentation about how you own the unit, it is deeded, you can rent it, sell it, leave it to your heirs, etc. Seems this may not be so.
