We own at CDM and have never had an attorney or closing company when making a purchase or selling time. We come to an agreement with the other party, transfer fee signed and notarized by both parties, decide who will pay closing costs and that's it. We get a check from the purchaser and then send the transfer form along with our copy of the deed to the resort. After paper work is complete you will receive a deed in your name and you are a new owner. If the seller is willing to pay the fee there are no additional costs to you. Have been owners at CDM for over twenty years. Hope this helps. Deeds at CDM are for a lifetime. Check oit CDM website for more info. wwwcasadelmar-aruba.com. Takes time as nothing on the island moves quickly. We send all paperwork Fedex to the resort. That's the way it is done at CDM - don't know about other resorts. Good luck!
