Best compay for Resale

[disneyadult66]

We are looking to sell our DVC membership. Who is the best broker to use for resale and what fees will we have to pay to that broker? TIA

Most brokers want 8.5-10% of the sale price, add in a $150+/- to Disney for what ever they do. The buyer pays closing costs and typically the buyer pays for the dues.

I bought and sold through DVC Resale Market with no issues and just purchased through ****************** also. Plenty to choose from. Selling I would go with where I thought I would get the highest price per point so maybe DVC Resale Market.

I have no experience in selling a contract (just bought my first resale), but if I were to sell it I'd consider several factors, including how many similar listings (particularly for the resort and point range) they may also have and what the going rate is. Fewer similar contracts might give you the ability to sell at the price you want. Some brokers have specials that knock their rate off by a percentage point or so if you list with them by a certain date. Also some qualitative factors count too, like responsiveness of the broker and particular person/agent you're working with. Board sponsor is on the higher end in terms of rate, but to me the extra .5 or 1% is worth it because they're quick and responsive based on my experience as a buyer.

I've bought 3 resale contracts. DVC RSM seems to be knowledgable about pricing/benefits....so from a seller's prospective I would think they are great. I bought a subsidized aulani contract on another site for a price that I thought was lower than it could be listed so if selling i would stick with a company that knows the prices well.

First, thank you for not including any details about what you may be selling. There are a lot of brokers that people here use and I have personally used several of them to buy and sell over the past 10 years. Just be sure to report any PM's you might get from someone wanting details about what you are selling.

Here is a list of many of the brokers that have and can be discussed here on the DIS:

ETA: For anyone new, when you see a broker with ****, then you know the filter did its job and can not be discussed, which includes giving hints on how to google to find it, or the use of names, etc.!

I have good luck with Fidelity Real Estate, they were recommended to me by Disney directly and I had another friend who sold through them.

We used Fidelity. They were great. We got the contract we wanted at a fantastic price. From the initial offer until the points were in our account took 6 weeks, too. We really took our time shopping around and Fidelity by far had the best prices.

If you don’t mind sharing, what was your offer relative to listing price? I’m 0 for 3 with fidelity making full price offers the day a contract was listed. A bit frustrating…

Do you mean you are 0 for 3 in passing ROFR, or 0 for 3 in getting an offer accepted?

Good value contracts go quickly - a lot of us on these boards do watch Fidelity and bid quickly. They generally process first come first serve, and don't do the bidding wars that occur with other brokers (or at least, have not, in my past experiences).

I almost always make an offer lower than the listing price, based on the current "passing" rates as seen here in the board, plus whether the contract is loaded or not, and whether I will be paying dues or not. I almost always ask sellers to pay current years dues if I'm purchasing June or later, or if the contract doesn't have current UY points, though it's a point of negotiation - sellers don't always cover it, but if they don't, I take that into consideration on my price per point offer.

I don't mind at all. We offered $4/point less than the listed price. And even the listed price was already a good deal. I put the offer in at around 10:00pm and Fidelity reached out to me the following morning around 9:00am saying the offer was accepted. Sorry you aren't having any luck, but stick with it. You will land one!

As a buyer I've been happy with Fidelity so far. I'm waiting on ROFR but I put in an offer, accepted, paperwork all done and submitted to Disney all in the same day. They have been great with communication and responding to emails. They asked me what title company i wanted and I chose Mason based on all the good reviews on here. Just waiting on Disney now...

0 for 3 on getting them accepted. I’m looking at a pretty narrow window though for points/resort and they are going quick.

I know one of them I lost because someone else bought 2 contracts from the same seller. Didn’t get feedback on the other two.

Thanks for the feedback. Not giving up, I’m sure we will get one eventually.

But as a side note, we offered $4/point less at the time because that seemed like a fair offer based on the comps at the time. The listed price was already just slightly less than what was "market average", but we offered slightly less. On the flip side, there were other brokers that had listings WAY above the average for relative comps. I put a couple offers in for those listings, and on one of them I offered $14/point less because that's what I felt was fair and more in line with the market (and that also gives you an idea of how expensive that listing was). It got shot down and the broker said the seller was "offended". LOL...offended? Settle down. I mentioned to the broker that maybe the seller was offended because he was given unrealistic expectations by the broker. That listing sat there for almost 6 weeks before the price was reduced, and by that time I was already through ROFR on the listing I purchased (which was still a good deal less expensive than the more expensive listing). The point is to keep shopping all the sites to get a good idea of what the contracts are going for. Then offer what you feel is fair.

Sounds like someone not really wanting to sell, but are more like "I'll throw it out there and if someone will way overpay for it, why not?" They can be offended all they want, because I'd be offended paying their price lol

Fidelity and Mason are a great combo.

LOL! That's the way I felt. I think the problem though is some of the brokers. For example, the broker I referenced with the high priced listing seemed to have high priced listings across the board. I got the feeling the broker is the one "consulting" the sellers on what price they should list at (obviously for higher commission dollars). That leads to hard feelings when buyers offer prices that are a lot lower (yet are more in line with the market). And the actual agent with whom I dealt at that broker was...how should I say...special. It felt like he sold used cars before he became a resale agent. The person I dealt with at Fidelity was the exact opposite...no BS or cheesy tactics.
