Okay, I Googled them which I probably should have done to begin with. SPM Resorts manages BIS Duck but we have an independent Board which my husband is on as the Treasurer. SPM is apparently part of the National Hospitality Group and that transaction occurred sometime this year I think. SPM Resorts handles our money - in other words taking it in and spending it. They are also responsible for the day to day activity but the Board provides the general policy guidance. BIS Duck is an independent resort, and is associated with RCI. We are not part of any vacation club nor are we looking to be part of one. To my knowledge, Owners can't trade a week at BIS Duck for a week at one of the National Hospitality Group resorts unless they do the trade through RCI. Is there other information you are seeking?
You've answered my question, thank you. NHG lists BIS Duck as a destination solely because SPM manages the resort.

Hello, looks like a lot going on with BIS Duck...I'm looking at purchasing week 34 (end of aug) in building 300 (by the indoor pool). Any additional thoughts or things I should be wary about? How high do you anticipate annual assessments to go and settle at? I don't fully understand the conversation about some buildings potentially failing...?

The bids for the Interiors have not been finalized and a new bidder may be coming into the picture. In addition once all the bids are in and are trimmed as much as possible there will be a survey sent to all the Owners in terms of options for interiors and how much owners are willing to pay. The amount of the assessment (if any) won't be decided for several months, but it is very likely there will be an assessment. Included in the timeshare documents was a termination clause which was standard for timeshares built at that time. Rather than go into a lot of detail here, if anyone is thinking about purchasing please ask the seller for information on this.
