Gina Reid Sold Our Fairmont Property for More Than We Expected

Our Fairmont Heritage Place ownership had been a source of pride when we purchased it in 2011. The property was stunning, the brand was synonymous with quality, and the ownership felt like it reflected something about the life we had built. For seven years, we used it annually and felt every bit of that pride. Then the fees outpaced the value. Our travel preferences shifted. The fixed week became an inflexible obligation rather than an anticipated annual tradition. We talked about selling for two years before we actually began the process, which itself took another eighteen months of failed independent attempts before I found Gina Reid. The resort's resale program had been our first call. The waitlist was long and the representative could not give us any timeline. We listed on two independent platforms and received inquiries from people who were window-shopping rather than buying. One resale company took a marketing fee and produced a listing that looked identical to every other listing on their site. Nothing moved. A member of my golf club had sold a Fairmont property through JP Mutual Management and specifically recommended Gina Reid as the person who had handled it. He mentioned the sale price, which was notably higher than what I had been seeing on the platforms where I had listed. That number got my attention. Gina's knowledge of the Fairmont resale market was immediately evident. She knew the buyer community for this specific brand, what distinguished their buyers from general timeshare purchasers, and how to present our ownership in a way that commanded a premium. She had done this before, many times, with properties at exactly this level. The $40,200 our sale produced was more than I had hoped for after eighteen months of receiving nothing or near-nothing from other channels. Gina's expertise was worth every dollar of her fee and more.
