Timeshare Store?

[maciec]

I am going to try my best (whatever it takes) to buy a DVC during our next trip in October.

We are going to do the tour of SSR and listen to the presentation again. After that I would like to contact someone in person at the Timeshare Store to see what alternatives they have.

My question is ..... has anyone every been to their office and where is it?

Also, do they have a company that does financing or are all of the transactions they handle cash?

Also, can someone recommend an agent?

The Timeshare Store office is located on Central Florida Pkwy. in the Publix shopping center. If you take I-4 east towards Orlando you get off at the Sea World exit and that is Central Florida Pkwy. Proceed on this road for a couple of miles, and after you pass International Dr. the shopping center is on your right approx. a half mile.

All of their transactions are "cash", but you can finance through Tammac Corp (www.tammac.com, I think) and they offer the same interest rate as DVC, only their loans are just for 5 years, instead of DVC's 10.

Becca .... thanks for the information about the financing. That just might make the difference between buying directly or through the Timeshare Store

cds62 ... thanks for the directions. I think I know exactly where you are talking about

I've been quite satisfied working with TTS agent Jerry Sydow. I found him to be knowledgeable, professional, and thorough.

Don't count on Jerry. He very clearly is only interested in getting the contract signed. Once its signed he never thinks about it again. At least that was our experience.

We have worked with Pat Spell at TTS for our three resale purchases and would gladly recommend her. Pat was one of the original DVC guides beginning in 1991 and is very knowledgeable about the program.

Enjoy!

Regarding Tammac, their web site says "Rates as low as 9.9%." Unless something has recently changed, DVC goes as low as 9.75% on a 10-year loan.

DVC will probably write a loan for any duration you want, although be sure to ask. Rates normally decrease with the duration of the note, so DVC may be able to offer an even lower rate than 9.75% if you are willing to pay it off in 5 years.

With a DVC loan, the interest you pay is normally tax-deductible since it's secured by real estate (2nd home). This may or may not be the case with Tammac depending on how the loan is structured. The Tammac loan PROBABLY is deductible, but be sure to ask.

Another very positve reference for Pat Spell. Very prompt, patient and professional. Excellent knowledge of DVC. She handled our OKW purchase.

I used Jason Erpelding at Time Share Store and he emails me back immediately when I have a question.

Then again, there shouldn't be that many questions anyways.

You make offer, wait to pass ROFR, sign final papers, etc. 5-6 weeks total time.

Does anyone here know if Tammac's loans show up on a credit report? Possibly important for some people's financial situation after a DVC purchase.

For those that don't know, financing through DVD (Disney) will generally not show up on a report, though I'd imagine it would if you buggered out on the loan.
