We Were About to Accept $14,000. We Closed at $34,500.

About three months before we found Christopher Newton, we had nearly accepted an offer on our timeshare that in retrospect would have been a serious mistake. A buyer had approached us directly through a resale listing site and offered $14,000 for our ownership interest. We did not have a reference point for what it was actually worth and were tempted to take the offer simply because we had been trying to sell for so long. Something stopped us — partly instinct, partly the advice of a friend who said we should get another opinion before accepting any offer. That friend recommended JP Mutual Management. Christopher's assessment of our ownership came in significantly higher than what the independent buyer had offered. He explained that the $14,000 offer was well below what the product typically sold for in the current market and that the buyer was likely counting on our lack of market knowledge to make the deal. He was not aggressive about this — he just laid out the comparable sales data he had access to and let us draw our own conclusions. He took on our listing at a price range of $32,000 to $37,000. He explained who the likely buyer was and what the timeline would look like. He was thorough and specific in a way that gave us genuine confidence. The sale closed five months later at $34,500. That is $20,500 more than we had been about to accept. Christopher Newton's market knowledge did not just complete our sale — it protected us from making a very costly mistake. We are grateful for both.
