DVC Sales operates with complete transparency, backed by 25+ years of Disney Vacation Club experience from our team of former Disney cast members. We're a fully licensed Florida real estate brokerage that handles your DVC resale transaction with the expertise you'd expect and the honesty you deserve.
Licensed Professionals Who Know DVC Inside and Out
Our brokerage is managed by professionals who spent decades working directly for Disney Vacation Club. This isn't theoretical knowledge—we understand the nuances of home resort priority, use year restrictions, and the ROFR process because we've guided thousands of families through these decisions. We're available seven days a week by phone, email, or live chat, whether you're purchasing your first contract or selling a membership you've owned for years.
As a fully licensed and insured Florida real estate brokerage, we handle every transaction with the legal protections and professional standards you'd expect when making a purchase of this magnitude.
Straightforward Pricing, No Hidden Costs
Every fee is disclosed upfront. Sellers pay a 6.9% commission (compared to the 9.5% industry average), plus a $150 estoppel fee. Buyers pay a $500 admin fee. That's it. No surprise charges at closing.
Sellers set their price per point, which is the only negotiable term for buyers. If the contract includes banked points from the current use year, buyers reimburse sellers for the annual dues tied to those points. Buyers can't ask sellers to cover closing costs, which eliminates the back-and-forth negotiations that slow down other platforms.

Step-by-Step: How DVC Sales Works
Account Creation
Sellers create an account, enter their contract details, and upload a copy of their deed. Buyers provide basic contact information to start making offers. Both processes take about five minutes.
Offers and Counteroffers
Buyers submit offers directly through the platform. Sellers receive instant email and text alerts, then can accept, decline, or counter. No phone tag, no waiting for brokers to relay messages.
Agreement and Deposit
Once you agree on terms, a digital contract generates for secure e-signature. Buyers typically submit a 10% deposit within 24 hours, which we hold in escrow until closing.
Disney's Right of First Refusal
We submit the signed agreement to Disney for their Right of First Refusal review. Disney has 30 days to decide whether to purchase the contract at your agreed price. If Disney exercises ROFR, sellers still receive their full payout, and buyers get their deposit back.
Most contracts pass through ROFR, but the timeline varies based on Disney's current priorities and the specifics of your contract. You can read more about this process on Disney's official FAQ page.
Closing Process
A licensed title company handles all closing documents and manages the payment process. Most paperwork is completed electronically. Sellers notarize the deed, buyers wire their funds, the deed gets recorded with the county, proceeds are disbursed, and Disney receives official notification of the ownership change.
Membership Activation
Disney activates the new membership within two to four weeks after closing. New owners receive their Member ID and login PIN to access the Disney Vacation Club member website. If you already own DVC, your new contract can often be linked to your existing membership, provided the names and use years match.
For specific questions about use years and membership linking, Disney's Use Year FAQ provides additional details.
Understanding the DVC Resale Market
The DVC resale market operates differently from typical real estate. Resale contracts cost significantly less than purchasing directly from Disney, but they come with certain restrictions. You won't receive the same promotional incentives that direct purchasers get, and some newer benefits may be limited to direct sales.
However, the core DVC experience remains identical. You get the same reservation system, the same resorts, the same home resort booking priority at 11 months. For most families, the savings on resale contracts far outweigh the limited promotional benefits.
Market timing does matter. Contracts typically sell faster during Disney's busy planning seasons—January through March and September through November. But unlike residential real estate, DVC demand stays relatively consistent year-round because people plan Disney vacations throughout all seasons.
What Makes DVC Membership Valuable
Disney Vacation Club provides a point-based vacation ownership system that adapts to your changing needs. Your points work at all DVC resorts, plus you can book Disney resort hotels when space is available. The flexibility lets you take weekend trips to Vero Beach, week-long vacations at Walt Disney World, or even international trips through Disney's exchange partners.
Your home resort gives you an 11-month booking window, while other DVC resorts open at seven months. This booking priority becomes particularly valuable for popular resorts and peak travel periods like spring break or Christmas week.
Members also receive discounts on dining, merchandise, and special events, though these perks shouldn't be the primary reason for your purchase. The real value comes from the vacation flexibility and the long-term cost savings compared to paying Disney resort rack rates every year.
