Mid-Tier Points, Specific Buyers, Real Outcome at $36,800

I have to start by saying that I had essentially written off the idea of ever recovering any money from our timeshare before I spoke with Christopher Newton. We owned a mid-tier points package — not a luxury brand, not a high annual allocation — and everything I had read online suggested these were the hardest to place and typically sold for next to nothing, if at all. My sister-in-law convinced me to make one more call. She had read about JP Mutual Management and thought we had nothing to lose by getting another opinion. I called with very low expectations and was prepared to be told once again that our ownership had minimal resale value. Christopher did not tell us that. He asked careful questions about the points system, the annual allocation, the resort network it provided access to, and the current maintenance fee level. He was quiet for a moment after I described the details and then said something that surprised me: he had recently placed a very similar product with a buyer who was specifically looking for that tier of ownership for a specific purpose — typically a buyer who wanted supplemental vacation flexibility without the cost of a higher-tier product. He told us the resale market for this type of ownership was real but required the right connections to access, and that generic listing sites almost never reached those buyers. He quoted a price range of $34,000 to $38,000 and a five-to-seven-month timeline. The sale closed at $36,800 in just under six months. I had been ready to accept zero. Christopher delivered $36,800. That outcome changed what I thought was possible when working with someone who genuinely knows the market.
