? for Canadian DVCers re: resale purchase...

[tigger2on]

We have decided to buy into dvc through resale... just waiting for an inheritance to come through so we can pay it off in full!
My question is how does one pay for this?
Is it Certified check? Money order? bank transfer? Voisa? Monopoly money??? I wish!!!

Certified check or money order are the preffered methods but a personal check can be used (with some closing companies) but they require you to wait till all funds have cleared and are in escrow before they will begin processing the closing. Also, you can send a personal check as a deposit (to hold the contract) and then the balance is usually required in full 3-7 days before the closing date. That was the process if I recall for my resale.

Use Canadian Tire Dollars! just to see if they'll take them .

I believe you'll need a cashier's check/ money order, plus Canadians need a notary involved.

Good luck!

We used a money order for the deposit (I believe) and a certified cheque for the remainder. We also used inheritence money to buy ours. I don't believe we ever needed the services of a notary for our resales. We purchased both our contracts through Jaki Apetz at A Timeshare Broker. Regardless of who you use, they'll guide you through the process. Our purchases were painless, other than the $1.62 exchange rate when we bought.

So it looks like Ryleigh's going to have many vacations to come following the cruise.

The timeshare companies are *most* delighted to answer any questions that you may have...we asked lots (but ended up buying from Disney), but will do a resale next.

Congratulations!!!!!
...so you did win the lotto!!
