Hidden Costs Made This More Expensive Than Advertised

I am writing this review because I think transparency matters, and I did not get much of it from Resort Resale Network. The initial pitch focused on their marketing network and their ability to reach buyers who others cannot. That part may be true — they did find a buyer. But the costs were presented to me in a way that obscured the total I would actually pay. The upfront marketing fee was $1,600. Fine. What was not explained clearly was that there would be additional closing coordination fees, a transfer facilitation charge, and what they called an "escrow processing supplement" — three separate charges I only learned about when the closing documents arrived. Together those added another $900 to my costs. When I raised this with my case manager, she told me it was "standard industry practice" and pointed to a paragraph buried deep in the service agreement. She was not unkind about it, but she was not apologetic either. The sale itself — my WorldMark by Wyndham membership — closed in about four and a half months. The buyer was real and the transfer went through without issues. I received $14,100 net after all fees. But the feeling of being surprised by costs at closing was not a good one. If they had been upfront about the total cost structure at the beginning, I would have had a more informed decision to make.
