I am looking into buying resale and wondering how is the fastest and safest to use? I am looking into Fidelity bc they have the best listing for me but not sure of their customer service.... TIA
The only think I can say about Fidelity is make sure you know that the price they list on their website isn't necessarily the true price of the property. It's more like a "the bidding begins here" price.

If you're trying to buy quickly to get that next trip under your belt this is usually not a good idea. You're likely far better off renting and spending more time investigating. It'll take some time to get through the process and then availability is likely to be limited after 7 months out and often before for many options/times.I am looking into buying resale and wondering how is the fastest and safest to use?

I bought from fidelity twice. This was before they lost their preferred status with Disney. They were fine. The price was right. They aren't the best communicators but I was ok with that.
I have my contracts. I stay on site now. That's all that matters to me.
My brother just bought from fidelity. Talk about a long drawn out scenario. Again, the price was right.
What broker(s) (if any) currently has a preferred status with Disney? What benefits does the broker(s) have with a preferred status with Disney that other brokers do not?
From a members standpoint (either buyer or seller) I don't think it makes any difference at all. I'm not aware of any benefit. With one timeshare company using the "preferred" resale company can make the resale points qualified if the price hits a certain threshold but that's not currently true with DVC.What broker(s) (if any) currently has a preferred status with Disney?

Two weeks is crazy! One of the brokers I work with told me the seller is supposed to reply by 24 hours!In our search, I had originally bid on a contract from Fidelity but the owner was taking way too long to respond (over 2 weeks) so I had to go with another broker when a similar contract had been posted.
Fidelity did keep in contact through the process but the seller must not have been motivated. That contract is still available when I checked the site.
