DVC Resales

[Olinepride58]

I know that there are a few good companies that handle DVC resales. A timeshare store is the leader it seems. Has anyone dealt with Fidelity? Especially wondering about **** and Jaki @ **********. Any thoughts??????

I don't think this is the place to post this question, so a Mod will probably move....but anyway to answer your question:

YES absolutely LOVE Jaki & ****. They are awesome, very helpful, keep you informed, and come highly recommended by just about everyone that has ever dealt with them. I refer all of my friends to them for purchases, etc. and would 100% use them again if needed. They are top notch! I have used them twice in the past few years with absolutely NO complaints whatsoever. And friends of mine that have used them say the same.

Good luck!

This might be better suited for the DVC board on here. They have a thread about renting/buying points and all of that!!! I hope that helps!!!

We also used Jaki and **** and they were great! I wouldn't hesitate to use them again.

There has been an active DVC Resale thread over on the DVC boards.

Here is a post I made re: my opinion of each of the resellers and their relative strength / weaknesses:

I have been been in the market as a buyer of DVCs on the resale market and here is my take on the agencies. (this is all my opinion)

I think Fidelity (fka GMAC) has the most listings (DVCs listed for sale) but does not do a good job selling them directly. They get the large number of listings as apparently if you call DVC directly and tell them you want to sell your contract - they suggest Fidelity. That said, they charge buyers a $195 "administrative fee" to buy a DVC thru them - a real turn off for buyers vs the other resellers. So they have alot of sellers but few buyers. Not a real market maker.

DVCbyResale (Shontell) and ********** (Jaki/****) both co-operate with Fidelity (meaning they will share Fidelity listings with you... just like a multiple listing service). So for buyers, they are both good places to look for alot of listings. These co-operating listings wont be on their website, and while they will try to sell their own listings before they sell you a Fidelity contract (then they dont have to split the commission) they will sell you a Fidelity if there is one that meets your specific needs.

TSS I think has a lot of buyers looking for DVCs, their fairly priced listings sell way more quickly than anyplace else (I have seen some real attractively priced contracts not move at Fidelity that would not survive one day with TSS's clientele). If I were a seller of DVC, there is no doubt I would list w TSS. On the buy side TSS does not share listings with the other agencies - that limits available inventory for buyers.

Selling a DVC is way different that selling regular real estate as contracts are more less homogenious. One SSR 160 pt contract is very much like another 160pt contract. Available points, UY and price are the only variables from one contract to another - unlike regular real estate where location, size construction, layout and countless other variables will cause price differences, DVC has far fewer variables. Its for this reason that DVCs must be priced right to sell quickly and must be listed with the right broker (more so than other real estate).
