Selling our DVC membership

[Degli]

Hello guys,
Bummed to say that we may need to sell our timeshare. What companies in your opinion give the best service? We bought our timeshare from the Timeshare Store back in 2003. I worked with Jerry. Great guy. Any thoughts? Thanks!

We've bought one contract and sold two through The Timeshare Store and each transaction was completed with professionalism and great communication.

Hello Degli,
Thank you for the kind words ("I worked with Jerry. Great guy"). I'm sorry to hear you may need to resell your DVC package.
If you have questions about selling your Disney package I'll be happy to assist you with any questions about the resale process or the resale value. Feel free to email or call me anytime at The Timeshare Store,Inc.®.

I used the TSS for both buying and selling this year and had a wonderful experience. I would also recommend them.

Sorry to hear that you have to sell...

We bought through the Timeshare Store this year and found them to be professional and efficient. We especially liked the fact that they "kept us in the loop" during the whole process.

We would definitely recommend them!

we have had a lively discussion on selling dvc's here

my 2 cents on all the main DVC resellers (pulled from that thread):

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).

I've bought from Jaki Apetz at ********** and from Jerry at The Timeshare Store and sold through The Timeshare Store over the years. Recommend both of them.
