What do you think about the Timeshare Store ?

[DenLo]

We've purchased two contracts through TTS. Scott and the team did an excellent and timely job keeping us informed as our contracts moved through the process. I recommend TTS to anyone looking to buy resale.

[JimMIA]

I've bought and sold through TTS, and also bought direct from Disney. I highly recommend TTS and would buy through them rather than direct even if the price were the same. They are much more knowledgeable, professional, and um...accurate in the information they present, than my DVC timeshare saleswoman.

I've also had some dealings with one of the other resale companies and they were mediocre at best.

You've probably seen enough positive responses already to help with your decision, but I just want to add my "thumbs up" to the list. TTS has been great! We've both bought and sold through them and found them to be very reputable, responsive, knowledgeable, and all those good things. Would not hesitate to use them again...but I really feel that we have all the points we need and all the maintenance fees we can manage, so my addonitis bug has been all but vanquished. For now...

I do think if you are looking for the lowest cost per point and some deal on MF/Closing, TTS is not the place to go.

I was told the exact same thing.

Turns out another broker had the perfect contract for us so we used someone else.

I had a similar experience, so I used Fidelity instead. I have bought two through them and been very happy!

I bought 2 DVC contracts using them and they advised me very well and fairly. Never any pressure when I was asking questions and I was able to make an informed offer that resulted in no FROR and adding on in the same UY.

The Title Company they used; Magic Vacation Title was also very efficient in handling the closing process in a quick manner.

I would be careful about structuring your offer based on the premise that if you pay more it will help avoid having ROFR exercised. While there is a substantial amount of evidence that points to ROFR being directly associated with price, there is no confirmed public knowledge about the ROFR process and what factors Disney considers when making a decision to exercise ROFR. If it makes you feel better to pay a little more so that you feel that your contract won't get taken, then that's cool, but just know that you are probably paying a little more than you had to.

That being said, I have had 2 out of 6 contracts taken by ROFR. That being said, 5 of the 6 fell under the threshold of what was considered to be a "safe" offer, which means that I sneaked three through.

I don't think they are keen on people making reduced offers but we ended up with them as they had the perfect contract for us and didn't seem to have any reservations about International Buyers whereas some of the companies were not so keen.

In the end I was very pleased with the service, the whole thing went through superquick and from offer to points in my account was only 7 weeks.

[garryblueboy]

We made an offer below the asking and Jason was happy to put this forward and it was accepted as we are overseas buyer they made our sale very smooth and stress free cant say enough about them

[belias21]

I made an offer below the asking price and Jamie was very helpful. She helped guide me to a dollar amount that she felt was "ROFR-safe." Still in the waiting game right now.

FWIW though, she and the title company have been very responsive thus far.

Another plug for TSS! Had a great experience with them for our resale purchase and would definitely use again!

I had a similar experience too. The agents were very prompt at returning calls and emails, but I made multiple offers (always lower than what they were asking, but by no means "low ball" offers) and always had a less than pleased response on the other end. We too found the perfect contract at Fidelity and Rachel was always willing to present our offers without making me feel as though I was trying to "low ball" someone.

I have only rented points from TTS, but have had very good experiences!

Good luck!

I am always skeptical of advice of what offer is "ROFR safe." I get the feel that it is another way of trying to coax a higher offer from me (which leads to higher commission for the agent).

100% agreed, that's why I did a ton of homework before speaking with them. Her numbers just helped to validate my assumptions. I'm also dealing with OKW which seems to be ripe for the ROFR-pickin' lately so I was seeking advice.
