Russell Smith Closed Our Sale Across Three States

Experience

My husband and I live in Oregon. Our timeshare is in Florida. The buyer Russell found for us lives in New York. Coordinating a real estate transaction across three states involving multiple sets of attorneys, a title company, and two sets of notaries sounded like a nightmare on paper. Russell managed every piece of it without a single error. We had owned our Hilton Grand Vacations Club interest for eight years and had used it well for the first four or five. When my husband's health made travel difficult, the property became a burden we could not justify. We knew the Hilton resale market was active — we had seen listings — but we had no idea how to navigate a sale from across the country. Russell was referred to us by our financial advisor, who had worked with several clients who had sold timeshares through JP Mutual Management. He said Russell was specifically good with complicated logistics and multi-jurisdiction paperwork. That turned out to be exactly what we needed. Russell set up a process that handled everything we could not easily handle ourselves. He coordinated with the Florida title company, communicated directly with the New York buyer's attorney, arranged for mobile notary services in Oregon for our documents, and kept us updated at every step with enough detail to understand what was happening without overwhelming us. The closing took eight weeks from accepted offer to funded. Russell had told us to expect six to ten. We were on the lower end of that range. The sale price was $37,300. We were genuinely satisfied with that number given what Russell had told us was realistic for our specific contract and resort affiliation. Working with Russell across three time zones and two coasts felt seamless. That does not happen by accident. It happens because someone knows what they are doing.

What Went Well

Russell's management of multi-state logistics and his coordination with multiple attorneys, title companies, and notary services — all without errors or delays.

What Went Wrong

Nothing. The complexity of a three-state closing was real and Russell handled it completely.

Advice for Others

If your sale involves logistics complications — geography, multiple owners, title history — Russell is the person to call. He has managed all of it before.
