Thank you for your interest in buying Disney points through DVC By Resale.  This details our company's policies which likely differ from other resale brokers and helps you avoid surprises down the road...

 

It's important to know that resale buyers are allowed to use their points at all of the Disney Vacation Club Resorts with the exception of Riviera Resort, Disneyland Hotel, Wilderness Cabins or future built resorts, as well as exchanging through the World Passport Collection Properties which include over 500 resorts worldwide. Disney restricts resale buyers use of other collections as indicated below. Contact us if you need further clarification.

 

Unlike other companies, our website is kept in REAL time so as to not waste your time.  That means you may purchase a property immediately through the Buy Now button beside each listed property without waiting. If we already have a committed full price buyer the status will say "Under Contract" and you may place a back-up contract on that listing. All offers are welcome unless the listing is marked "Firm" or until a seller accepts an offer and you see the property marked "Sale Pending".

 

 

Buying the Disney Vacation Club from DVC By Resale is truly simple.  Once you find the property you like, you’ll want to be aware of three costs:

 

 

Closing costs average $500 and go up or down depending upon how much the property costs and the agency. (Click the Buy Now next to any property to see the exact costs without obligation) These fees cover your title search, title insurance and administrative costs to legally transfer the property from the seller to you. Unlike some companies, these do not benefit our office nor do we get a referral fee. In fact, you choose the closing company at the time of your offer, based on your preferred deposit delivery method.

.

Annual dues are paid by the buyer only on the amount of points you are receiving for the current use year.  This varies, because sellers have typically been using the property.  Simply take the amount of points and multiply it by the annual dues at that resort. Disney sets these, not us. You can see current annual dues detailed below and in detail under the FAQ on our site.

**********Each listing has the exact costs related to that property and your choices of closing agencies detailed on its Buy Now page.**********

 

Financing is available through companies like VacationClubLoans.com and MoneraFinancial.com – all terms and conditions are set by them. Please apply for any financing before making an offer.

 

 

Call or email us with questions anytime! When you are ready to buy just submit a formal offer directly on our website with ease.   Please do NOT make an offer until you and all parties on the deed are in 100% agreement to proceed.  To present a formal offer, we require: Legal names - (if you are already a Member, please look at your deed and match the names as they already exist), address, a phone number and best email to send the contract.  We need your acknowledgement and acceptance of all the costs involved as detailed above.  Once we receive all the pertinent information, we prepare the contract or present the offer. (Again, if you are already a DVC Member and want any contract to be "added" under your existing ID, then both the use year and the names on the deed must match EXACTLY to those you already own. Please look at your deed now.)

 

Once the seller accepts, your contract arrives immediately via email. You will print, sign and send it back to us with your 10% deposit within 5 literal days. Your deposit CHECK or wired funds are sent to, and held in escrow by, the closing company.  Mailing a personal check or wiring funds are the normal delivery route and have the lowest closing costs.  However, some companies accept credit card deposits, BUT CHARGE MORE TO DO SO. You choose the company when you make the offer and that determines how your deposit is delivered.  They can accept credit cards for the deposit ONLY when you choose DVC Title & Escrow (up to $7,500) Mason Title  (up to $7,500) or when choosing First American Title (up to $2,500) for closing (not available in SC).    Please do not agree to buy a property until you are able to fulfill your commitment of doing so.  

 

 

When your signed contract and deposit are received, we submit it to Disney for their Right of First Refusal waiver.  Disney has the right to buy any resale contract under the exact same terms and conditions presented to them.  (Less than 5% of our contracts are bought by Disney, historically) If Disney does step in, your deposit is fully refunded or may be applied to another property if we have something else that meets your needs.  Disney’s ROFR waiver process usually takes the full 30 days unless there are any issues within the contract. Once Disney waives their right of refusal, we notify you via email.  At that point, the closing agency takes over and does the title search, requests and verifies the estoppel information from Disney and prepares the new deed.  Your closing documents and final payment figures are delivered electronically for your execution.

 

 

Note your final payment must be certified funds. When the closing agent receives your executed documents as well as the sellers, the new deed goes to the county for recording.  A few days later, everything is sent to Disney Administration.  Disney Vacation Club will typically add you to their system about 1-2 weeks later and that's when you can make reservations.
 

The entire process takes an average of 6-8 weeks from start to finish.  However, we always strive to close as fast as possible to best serve you. We know you may be anxious to make reservations.
