If you own a timeshare in Mexico and receive an unsolicited offer to buy it, proceed with caution.
Potential buyers may present an appealing purchase offer, provide scanned documents to establish their credibility, and even share a signed contract. They might also direct you to a website or phone number to confirm they represent a legitimate company or act as intermediaries for an authentic buyer.
While selling a timeshare at an excellent price is tempting, be wary of common tactics. Once they secure your interest, these "buyers" often claim that certain paperwork must be completed in Mexico before the transaction can be finalized. They may even offer to handle the paperwork for you.
To protect yourself, it is strongly recommended to consult an independent Mexican lawyer—one not suggested by the buyer or their representative, as this could create a conflict of interest. A qualified lawyer will assist you with the required legal processes and ensure the transaction is conducted safely.
Important Reminder: Never transfer any funds or pay fees upfront until you have received full payment for the sale.
Our office can assist you in navigating this process.
