Sold Our Marriott Weeks — Finally

We had two deeded weeks at a Marriott Vacation Club property that we had genuinely loved for the first decade of ownership. When my mother-in-law moved in with us and our travel became impossible to plan, those two weeks became a source of real financial stress. Marriott's internal resale program had listed them for over a year with zero serious offers. I had read about JP Mutual Management in a travel ownership forum where someone specifically mentioned Chad Jacobelli by name as a person who understood the Marriott resale market specifically. I called expecting to have the same conversation I had already had with three other brokers — vague promises, optimistic timelines, and ultimately nothing. Chad was different from the first sentence. He knew the Marriott market in a way that was immediately apparent. He talked about specific buyer profiles, specific weeks that moved faster than others, and specific things about our particular property that he said would be strong selling points to the right buyer. It was clear this was not his first Marriott sale. It was not his hundredth. He told us to expect four to seven months and to resist the temptation to drop the price out of impatience. He said a Marriott buyer who is serious will pay for quality and that rushing to a low offer would cost us money we did not need to give away. That advice alone, even if nothing else had happened, was worth the conversation. Five months later, Chad brought us a buyer — a family who had been looking specifically for our resort and our weeks for some time. The offer came in at $41,800, which was at the high end of what Chad had quoted us as realistic. The closing was smooth, the paperwork was thorough, and the funds arrived exactly when Chad said they would. My mother-in-law is still with us and we still cannot travel the way we used to. But that annual Marriott bill is gone, and the money from the sale made a real difference in our ability to care for her comfortably. That is what this sale meant to us. Chad Jacobelli made it happen.
