Notifications for Disney Resale Offers

Staying informed about offers on your DVC listing or new listings matching your search criteria is essential for successful transactions. DVC Sales provides a comprehensive notification system that keeps buyers and sellers updated on important activity related to their accounts. Understanding how these notifications work helps you respond promptly and avoid missing opportunities.

Notification Types for Sellers

When you list your DVC contract for sale, you will receive notifications at key points throughout the process. Offer notifications alert you immediately when a buyer submits an offer on your listing. These notifications include the offer amount, any special terms, and buyer information so you can evaluate the opportunity quickly.

You will also receive notifications when buyers inquire about your listing, when your listing receives significant view activity, and when similar contracts at your resort receive offers or sell. This market intelligence helps you understand buyer interest levels and make informed decisions about pricing adjustments.

During the closing process, notifications keep you informed about each milestone. You will know when documents are ready for signature, when ROFR (Right of First Refusal) has been submitted, when Disney makes their decision, and when closing is scheduled. This visibility helps you plan accordingly and respond promptly to any required actions.

Understanding Right of First Refusal (ROFR)

The ROFR is a critical step in the DVC resale process where Disney has the option to purchase the contract under the same terms agreed upon by the buyer and seller. Notifications regarding ROFR are crucial because they inform sellers when Disney has either exercised or waived this right. If Disney decides to exercise their ROFR, the seller will sell the contract to Disney instead of the original buyer. This step underscores the importance of prompt and clear communication through notifications.

Notification Types for Buyers

Registered buyers on DVC Sales can set up search alerts based on their criteria. Specify your preferred resort, point range, use year, and price parameters, and receive notifications when matching listings become available. This proactive approach helps you discover new opportunities before other buyers.

When you submit an offer, you will receive confirmation that your offer was delivered to the seller. Subsequent notifications inform you of seller responses, whether acceptance, counteroffer, or decline. If the seller counters, you will see the new terms and have the opportunity to respond.

Price change notifications alert you when listings you have viewed or saved reduce their asking price. Sellers often adjust prices to attract buyers, and being notified of these changes helps you identify improved opportunities on contracts you were previously considering.

Benefits of Timely Responses

Responding swiftly to notifications, especially those regarding counteroffers or price changes, can significantly enhance your chances of securing a desired contract. Buyers who act quickly demonstrate their commitment and interest, which can be a deciding factor for sellers evaluating multiple offers.

How to Configure Your Notifications

Your DVC Sales account includes notification preferences that let you control what alerts you receive and how you receive them. Access these settings through your account dashboard to customize your notification experience.

Email notifications are the primary delivery method for most alerts. Ensure your email address is current and check that DVC Sales messages are not filtered to spam folders. Adding our email addresses to your contacts helps ensure reliable delivery of important notifications.

Some notifications can also be delivered via text message for time-sensitive alerts. Enable SMS notifications for offer alerts if you want immediate notification when activity occurs on your listing or when a seller responds to your offer.

Optimizing Notification Delivery

To maximize the effectiveness of your notifications, consider the following tips:

• Regularly review and update your notification preferences to align with your current buying or selling strategy.
• Use a dedicated email address for DVC communications to ensure messages are not overlooked.
• Test SMS notifications to ensure delivery and adjust settings if necessary to receive alerts promptly.

Responding to Offer Notifications

When you receive an offer notification, prompt response demonstrates serious intent and keeps the transaction moving forward. Sellers should review offers carefully and respond within 24 to 48 hours when possible. Delayed responses may cause buyers to pursue other listings.

Your notification will include a link to view the full offer details and respond directly through the DVC Sales platform. You can accept the offer, submit a counteroffer, or decline. All communications are documented in your account for future reference.

Buyers receiving seller responses should similarly respond promptly. If a seller counters your offer, evaluate the new terms and reply within a reasonable timeframe. Extended delays may lead sellers to accept other offers or question your commitment to the purchase.

Saved Search Notifications

Creating saved searches allows you to receive automatic notifications when new listings match your criteria. This feature is particularly valuable for buyers seeking specific contract characteristics that may not be currently available. When a matching listing is posted, you will be among the first to know.

You can create multiple saved searches with different criteria. For example, set up one search for your ideal contract and another with broader parameters as a backup. Managing multiple searches increases your chances of finding a suitable contract quickly.

Managing Notification Volume

If you receive more notifications than desired, adjust your preferences to focus on the most important alerts. You can disable certain notification types while keeping others active. Finding the right balance ensures you stay informed without feeling overwhelmed.

Review your notification settings periodically to ensure they still match your needs. As your search criteria change or after completing a transaction, update your preferences accordingly.

Contact Information Accuracy

Accurate contact information is essential for receiving notifications. Verify that your email address and phone number are current in your DVC Sales account. If you change email providers or phone numbers, update your account immediately to avoid missing important communications about your listings or offers.
