Question about resale and brokers?

[fatherAZ]

I was wondering if anyone on this board has ever used the following broker to buy a DVC timeshare:

If not, what kind of questions should I ask to make sure my money is actually buying what I think it should be buying. What broker did you use and what was your experience. Thanks.

In addition to any feedback you get here, you can go to http://www.state.fl.us/dbpr/re/frec_welcome.shtml

That's the website of the Florida Real Estate Commission. You can research the broker there. Another thing I would suggest with any broker you don't know a good bit about is to visit www.sunbiz.com and research the corporate ownership - then check the real estate commission to see if any of the owners have had problems. Florida has a very tightly regulated real estate industry, but there are still a few unscrupulous people.

Frankly, I would stay with one of the brokers who deal with Disney timeshares every day. Not only because of ethical considerations, but also because buying DVC is a complicated process, and they know the ropes. In addition, they are likely to have MUCH more inventory as you can see by clicking on "Current DVC Resales" above.

Using a broker who doesn't deal with DVC regularly may just be setting yourself up for disappointment.

Take your time and research everything carefully.

The person you mention is one of the well known DVC brokers. Between her, A Timeshare Broker and this site's sponsor The Timeshare Store, you shouldn't have a problem.

Yes, I have. The whole process went smoothly and I would highly recommend them.
