How to Create a DVC Sales Account
Creating a DVC Sales account is what allows you to submit offers on listings, list your own contract for sale, receive offer notifications, and track your transaction from accepted offer all the way through closing. You can browse active listings without an account, but as soon as you want to take action on anything, an account is required.
Registration is free and takes just a couple of minutes. This page walks you through the process and explains what you can do once your account is set up, both as a buyer and as a seller.
Creating Your Account
Go to dvcsales.com/sign-up and fill out the registration form. You'll need to provide your full legal name, email address, phone number, and mailing address. The name you enter should be the name on your legal identification, because it's the name that will appear on any contracts generated through the platform. If you're registering as a buyer and haven't yet found a specific contract, you can update your profile later with any additional details. But get the name right from the start.
After you submit the form, you'll receive a verification email at the address you provided. Click the link in that email to activate your account. If you don't see the email within a few minutes, check your spam or junk folder. Once you click the verification link, you can log in to your dashboard immediately.
The whole process, from landing on the registration page to having a confirmed active account, typically takes less than five minutes.
Setting Up Your Profile
After you log in for the first time, spend a few minutes completing your profile. The information in your profile is what gets used when contracts are generated, so accuracy matters here just as much as it does at registration.
Confirm your phone number and set your notification preferences. You can opt into SMS text alerts, which are the most reliable way to make sure you see offer notifications quickly. Email notifications are enabled by default, but text alerts give you a second channel that's harder to miss.
If you're planning to sell a DVC contract, make sure the name on your account exactly matches the name on your deed. If the contract is co-owned with a spouse, both names need to be reflected in your account. Any discrepancy between the account information and the deed will need to be resolved before a purchase contract can be generated, and it's much easier to handle that before you list than after a buyer has made an offer.
What Buyers Can Do With an Account
As a buyer, your account gives you access to the full offer process. When you find a listing you're interested in on the DVC resale listings page, you click "Make an Offer" and the offer form is connected to your account. Your offer goes directly to the seller and they respond through the platform as well. You see the entire offer history, any counter-offers, and the final accepted price in your dashboard.
Once you accept or reach an agreement with a seller, the purchase contract is generated and shows up in your account for electronic signature. After signing, your dashboard tracks the ROFR status, closing progress, and any communications from the title company. You don't need to call anyone to find out where things stand. The status updates appear in your account as milestones are reached.
You can also save listings to your account to come back to later, and you can set alerts for when new listings that match certain criteria become available. If you're looking for a specific resort, point range, or use year and you haven't found the right contract yet, alerts can notify you when something matching your criteria is listed.
What Sellers Can Do With an Account
Sellers use their account to create and manage their listing. After your account is confirmed and your profile is complete, you can create a new listing by entering your contract details: resort, use year, total points, available points by year, asking price, and any relevant documentation. Uploading your current Disney points statement is strongly recommended. Buyers look for verification of the points breakdown, and listings with documentation attached tend to get more serious attention.
Once your listing is live, your account dashboard shows you buyer activity, offer submissions, your full negotiation history, and the contract and closing status after a deal is accepted. You also receive instant notifications by email and text when a buyer submits an offer, so you can respond quickly without having to check in manually.
You can adjust your asking price at any time from your dashboard. If your listing has been active for a while without offers, you have the flexibility to lower the price or reach out to the DVC Sales team for a market review. And if you want to temporarily pause your listing for any reason, that's an option too.
Security and Privacy
DVC Sales uses two-factor authentication for account access. When you log in from a new device or after a period of inactivity, you'll be prompted to verify your identity through a code sent to your email or phone. This adds a layer of protection to your account beyond just a password, which matters given that the account holds financial transaction information and personal contract details.
Your data is not sold to third parties. Communications you receive from DVC Sales are limited to your actual transactions and any support requests you initiate. You won't receive marketing spam from us or from third parties because of an account registration.
Getting Help During Registration
If you run into any issue during registration, the most common ones are easy to resolve. If the verification email doesn't arrive, check spam first. If it's not there either, the support team can manually verify your account. If you're unsure which email address to use or want to change the email associated with your account, contact us and we can handle that through the support process.
If you're registering specifically to make an offer on a contract you've already found and you want to move quickly, contact the support team directly. We can walk you through the registration process in real time and make sure there are no delays in getting your offer submitted while the listing is still available.
Why an Account Makes the Process Better
Everything in a DVC Sales transaction runs through the platform, and the platform connects to your account. Without an account, you're a spectator. With one, you're a participant. You can track listings, submit and receive offers, sign contracts electronically, monitor transaction milestones, and communicate with the DVC Sales team, all from one place.
The DVC resale market moves at a reasonable pace, but the offer stage can move quickly. A buyer who is ready to act can submit an offer within minutes of finding a listing. A seller who is ready to respond can accept or counter the same day. When both sides are set up and responsive, deals get done efficiently. The account infrastructure is what makes that speed possible.
If you're a buyer who hasn't yet registered, start by browsing the current listings and then create your account when you find something you want to pursue. If you're a seller, set up your account and complete your profile before you're ready to list so there's no delay when you're ready to go live. And if you have questions before creating an account or need help during the process, reach us through the contact page any day of the week.
Understanding the full DVC resale process before you create your account will help you get more out of the platform from day one. The how DVC works page covers the end-to-end process for both buyers and sellers in plain language.
