Chad Closed Our Sale When We Had Nearly Given Up

My wife and I bought our timeshare in 2008 thinking it would become a family tradition. For a few years, it was exactly that. Then the kids got older, schedules became complicated, and the property we had once loved turned into an annual bill we dreaded opening. By the time we contacted JP Mutual Management, we had been trying to sell on our own for nearly three years. Those three years were demoralizing in a way I did not fully appreciate until we were on the other side of it. Every inquiry that went nowhere, every lowball offer from someone who never followed through, every year the maintenance fee arrived in the mail — it added up to a kind of slow defeat that affected our mood every January. A colleague whose parents had sold through Chad Jacobelli specifically told me to call him and no one else. That kind of personal recommendation carries real weight, and I reached out without much hope but willing to try one more time. Chad answered the phone himself. That alone surprised me. He spent close to forty-five minutes on our first call asking questions I had never been asked before — about the specific weeks we owned, the resort's history, what types of buyers had shown interest previously and why those deals had fallen through. He was building a picture, and I could feel that he already knew things about this market that I never would have figured out on my own. He was direct about the timeline: this would not happen overnight, and anyone who told me otherwise was not being honest with me. He said four to six months if the right buyer materialized, longer if we were particular about price. We were particular about price. He respected that. The buyer he found four months later was perfect. A couple looking for the exact week we owned, familiar with the resort, pre-qualified and serious. The negotiation took two weeks. The sale closed at $36,200. I was sitting in my car in a parking lot when the confirmation came through. I called my wife immediately. We did not say much. We had spent three years hoping for this moment and when it arrived, the relief was too large for words. Chad Jacobelli is the reason it happened. His network, his knowledge, and his genuine investment in finding us the right buyer — not just any buyer — made the difference.
