I am about to purchase a timeshare advertised through Red Week. How can I be sure that the seller owns the week? How does the Marriett right of first refusal work. What size deposit is reasonable to return with the opurchase agreement? The seller uses Timeshare Closing Associates in Orlando for the closing. Has anyone used them for a closing? How can I be sure that the title will be clear and acceptable to Marriott. I appreciate any guidance anyone can give me. Thank you.

You have to do your due diligence .... contact the resort and make sure the person you are dealing with is the owner, the title is clear and that he/she is up to date on maintenance fees. Marriott hasn't been implementing ROFR in this economy for the vast majority of their properties.

Can't help you on the closing company but you can do a google search to find out more about them.
