Sell Your DVC Contract for Maximum Profit

Thank you for choosing DVC Sales to help you sell your Disney Vacation Club (DVC) contract effortlessly and to secure the highest possible payout at closing. Selling a DVC contract can seem daunting, but with the right guidance and understanding of the process, you can maximize your profit and ensure a smooth transaction. Here’s how our process works:

Our Fees

We charge a 6.9% commission, the lowest in the industry, with no upfront fees. You only pay when the sale closes, ensuring you keep more money in your pocket. This competitive rate allows sellers to retain a larger portion of their sale proceeds, making it an attractive option for those looking to sell their DVC contracts.

Creating Your Listing

Sign Up

To get started, use your legal name (as on your deed) to create an account. It’s important to list each contract separately to ensure clarity and accuracy. This step is crucial because each contract may have different terms, such as point balances and expiration dates, which need to be clearly communicated to potential buyers.

Accuracy Matters

Most failed closings stem from incorrect details. Double-check all information before submitting your listing. This includes verifying the number of points available, the home resort, and the use year. Accuracy not only prevents delays but also builds trust with potential buyers, who rely on this information to make informed decisions.

Required Documents

Log in to your DVC online account and navigate to the 'Manage Vacation Points' section. Upload screenshots of point balances for the past, current, and next year. If you need assistance, email us, and we’ll attach them for you. Providing these documents upfront helps streamline the process and gives buyers a clear picture of what they are purchasing.

Understanding the DVC Resale Market

The DVC resale market operates differently from purchasing directly from Disney. While buying resale can offer significant savings, it's important to understand the limitations. For instance, resale buyers do not have access to certain perks such as the Disney Collection, Adventure, and Cruise Line options. However, they can still enjoy the core benefits of DVC membership, including staying at any DVC resort based on availability.

The Importance of the Home Resort Advantage

When selling your DVC contract, it's important to highlight the home resort advantage. Owners can book stays at their home resort up to 11 months in advance, compared to 7 months for other resorts. This can be a significant selling point, especially for popular resorts where availability can be limited.

Disney's Right of First Refusal (ROFR)

Disney retains the Right of First Refusal (ROFR) on all resale contracts. This means that once a buyer and seller agree on a price, Disney has the option to purchase the contract at the agreed-upon price before the sale can proceed. This process typically takes 30-60 days and is an important step in the resale process. Understanding ROFR can help sellers set realistic expectations and prepare for potential outcomes.

Tips for a Successful Sale

• Price Competitively: Research current market trends and recent sales to price your contract competitively. A well-priced contract is more likely to attract serious buyers quickly.
• Highlight Unique Features: If your contract has a high point balance or a desirable use year, make sure to emphasize these features in your listing.
• Be Responsive: Promptly respond to inquiries from potential buyers. Quick communication can make a significant difference in closing a sale.
• Stay Informed: Keep up with any changes in DVC policies or market conditions that could affect your sale.

Selling your DVC contract can be a rewarding experience when approached with the right knowledge and resources. By understanding the process and leveraging the expertise of DVC Sales, you can achieve a successful sale and maximize your return on investment.
