Why's everyone selling through...

[MountainMouse]

Any ideas why one resale company seems to have significantly more postings than the others? They are running a special on commission but it's not the lowest out there. The company I purchased through is very limited in inventory.

Is this the new company that's run by former DVC guides? Fidelity used to be the company that DVC referred people wanting to sell their contracts, maybe they are sending them to the new guys now.

Your question doesn't give enough information for anyone to formulate an answer. What companies are you talking about?

It's not illegal to post company names!

Well, I didn't think it would include a fine or jail time, that said no point in stepping around a topic Google can reveal in .0001 seconds. I'm talking about dvcresalemarket.com, I purchased through TTS.

If I were SELLING...I would sell through TTS -- and I have twice. I think they are, by far, the most knowledgeable, and I also think they get higher prices than some other brokers.

The sheer number of listings on someone's website is not necessarily a good indication of how many contracts they have for sale. It could just be that they co-broker with other realtors and have taken the time to list everything anyone has for sale. It could also be that they are simply sloppy about taking sold listings down.

If you are a buyer, I'd check with several brokers and see what they really have to sell. If you're a seller, I'd personally use TTS. JMHO...YMMV.

The new broker is offering a discounted commission (7% instead of 10%) and encouraging folks to list at higher prices. People want to get the most money they can, and the new broker says they can get more money.

Also, I believe the new broker also has a relationship with Disney to list distressed contracts. We believe Fidelity's agreement with Disney has ended, so the new guy is getting all the Disney referrals, too.

They're only advertising 8%, there's another company that says 7% on their website but they don't appear to have the inventory that dvcresale does. The inventory for each place appears real and up to date as I see new listings appear and old go to sale pending.

I sold through TTS too, several years ago, but they need a drastic overall of their website. The "other" website looks much more professional, sortable columns on their listings page, etc

You can list with multiple companies to get better exposure. I think the only one that required you to list exclusively with them was Fidelity

I have noticed that DVCresalemarket.com does not take their listings down off their website for a loooooonnng time. They leave it as either offer accepted or sale pending forever. It drives me crazy because all of those listings show up on the big search engine even when they are no longer available. I am in contract with TTS and they changed mine to sale pending right away then took it off their inventory within a day.

I agree I noticed the same thing when we started looking last fall.

But if you don't also post a link to the company, you may not know it is in the DIS site's filter. Discussing a business that is in the site's filter is not permitted on the DIS.

(I know Jim knows this - I had to delete a few posts from people who apparently don't know or didn't understand the STICKY).

Please refer to this thread for more information.

I wonder if going through that specific resale company results in shorter wait time for the buyer?

I doubt it. In most cases, the length of time to get a response to an offer is more to do with the seller than the broker.

By far, the major reason for the long period between offer and getting into the DVC computer is the length of time it takes Disney to process their end of things.

I tried offering on one of their listings today and the agent was very aggressive in telling me I was too low (their prices are high compared to others I find) and told me I was responsible for the entire 2016 MFs even though I would not be getting all of the 2016 points. I told her everything is a negotiation. I found her to be acting as if she were representing the seller completely.

Dvcresalemarket.com seems like it has an unusually high number of completely stripped contacts. Does anyone else think so?
And why do any of them (across various websites) list "full 2018 points". I'm new to the banking and borrowing timeline but aren't those points too far out to touch anyway?

We're getting closer to points where the Feb and Mar UY's could be accessing the 2018 points but they should all still be there at this time. It sounds good though!

A broker can't really control what people are wanting to sell. If I were selling a contract, I'd consider one last trip beforehand. The price you get for a stripped vs. loaded contract is usually less than what you could rent a year's points for, anyway. Right now, I'm looking for a stripped BCV add-on since I'll need more points in a year or two but not right now. So, I'd rather pay a little less for a stripped contract than a loaded one I don't necessarily need right away. Everyone's situation is different.

"Full 2018 points" doesn't mean much yet, as you indicated, but it sure sounds appealing, doesn't it?

I had 2 great purchase experiences with TTS. Excellent communication. Offers presented. Very professional.

I had a similar experience of aggressive, too low, and not to waste their time.
