Buying Process

How long does the sales process take?

Once a contract has been signed and the deposit received, closing typically takes 45-50 days. The paperwork, once executed by both buyer and seller, then goes to Disney for ROFR. They have 30 days to decide if they would like to buy it back for that agreed-upon price or allow the sale to go through. This is called the Right of First Refusal (ROFR). This has little bearing on the seller because the seller will receive the exact same amount of money as the agreed-upon price, regardless of who is purchasing the contract. The buyer, however, will need to find another contract to purchase. We will keep you up to date the entire way through the sales process.

What are the advantages of being a DVC member?

Disney Vacation Club (DVC) is Disney's version of a timeshare. When you become a DVC member, you purchase real estate interest at a particular resort, referred to as your "Home Resort." Your real estate interest is expressed in the form of vacation points, which you use to book your reservation. Members receive an annual allotment of points at the same time every year (your "Use Year") for a predetermined number of years. You can use your allotted points at select DVC resorts at Walt Disney World, Disneyland, Vero Beach, FL, Hilton Head, SC, and Hawaii. Unlike traditional timeshare, you don't purchase a block of time at a particular resort. Instead, you use your DVC points to book vacations at DVC resorts or resorts worldwide through partner programs like RCI. DVC is a point-based system that gives you the flexibility to vacation where, when, and for as long as you'd like. Learn more about Disney Vacation Club here. As a DVC member, you will gain access to exclusive DVC resorts at not only Walt Disney World, but Disneyland, Vero Beach, FL, and Hilton Head, SC. You'll enjoy spacious accommodations and suites that go beyond the standard hotel rooms available on Disney property. DVC resort rooms have amenities like washers and dryers, full kitchens, and Villas that sleep up to 12 people. DVC members also enjoy Extra Magic Hours and free transportation to the parks and airport. DVC members can save up to 50% off renting similar accommodations over the lifetime of their membership. As a member of the Club, your savings could be even greater!

How does the buying process work?

Once a buyer places an offer, we immediately present it to the sellers. Seller have three options:
1.Accept the Offer
2.Counter the offer with a different price
3.Decline the offer
Once one of the parties have accepted the offer from the other side, we will then have an agreement. The buyer and sellers will receive an email with a link to view and sign their agreement electronically. The buyers are required to make a deposit within a day or two. Failing to submit a deposit in a timely manner causes our system to automatically void the agreement. The buyers will have to restart the process. As a convenience our title company allows buyers the ability to use a credit card up to $5,000 with no additional service fees. Then, we will send your contract to our title company and Disney. Disney has 30 days to review the contract and decide whether to enact the Right Of First Refusal (ROFR). We will keep you updated throughout the process. Typically, it takes about 45-50 days to close once a buyer and seller have reached an agreement.

Often buyers ask if resale prices are negotiable…

Just like general real estate, most sellers will negotiate, but some are firm on their price. By law, we are required to present all offers unless stipulated by the seller. In fact, all sellers are notified within moments of receiving an offer. That said, it’s the seller’s prerogative to ask whatever price they choose for their Membership. All sellers are different and selling for unique reasons. Some have been members for years while others have only owned their contract for a few years. Some members still have a loan to pay off with Disney and they may need to sell at a higher price to cover the loan. Those people may not be able to accept a lower offer even if they want to.

Fees

What are the total costs to buy a Vacation Club membership through DVC Sales?

It’s clearly of the utmost importance when buying or selling a membership to know and understand all of the fees associated with your purchase or sale. For buyers, the formula is:
Purchase price
+ Closing costs
+ Annual Dues reimbursement (for any points that are bankable for that year)
_________________ Total Costs
As a seller your net amount you will receive at closing is:
Contract price
- $150.00 estoppel fee to Disney
– Any outstanding loan
– Real Estate commission to DVC Sales
+ Annual Dues reimbursement from the buyer paying you for the dues on any bankable points for the current use year.
– Annual Dues reimbursement from seller to buyer if the seller has borrowed any of next year’s points.
To simplify who pays the dues. Buyers pay dues on any bankable points. If the seller has borrowed any points from a future year, he has to reimbursement the buyer for the dues for those points.
To avoid confusion with a goal of complete transparency these terms are not negotiable.
Some buyers attempt to inflate the price, having the seller pay these fees to make the contract appear less attractive to Disney in the Right of First Refusal process. This is a futile attempt. Disney calculates the bottom-line number. At closing, you can expect to receive the sale proceeds less a $150 Right of First Refusal and Estoppel Fee (charged by Disney), and a real estate commission of 8%.Any outstanding liens, mortgages, maintenance fees, or late fees that may have been assessed to your property will also be deducted at that time. Other taxes may be taken out of the final payment (such as FIRPTA and HARPTA tax withholdings), depending on your specific situation. You may view (or change) your asking price to see how this will affect your estimated net to seller proceeds at any time. This will help give you a clear idea of how much you will receive at closing. Of course, call us at any time if you have questions!

What are annual dues and how do they work?

Annual dues fluctuate from year-to-year depending on your Home Resort and resort maintenance costs. You have the option to pay your annual dues by January 15th of each year (regardless of your Use Year) or pay monthly by setting up an automatic checking account deduction plan with DVC. View current DVC annual dues here. When you purchase your membership with DVC Sales, all dues are current at closing. View historical annual dues here. As a DVC member, you’re responsible for paying property taxes at your Home Resort every year. These fees are included in your yearly maintenance fees

What is FIRPTA?

Our licensed and insured attorney owned title company can complete closings for sellers worldwide. There may be some applicable fees associated with non-US sales, including FIRPTA. FIRPTA stands for Foreign Investment Real Property Tax Act. It’s a federal tax withholding that applies to real property when the seller is not a U.S. citizen. According to the tax law, all non-residents selling U.S. property must withhold 15% of the sales price and send it to the IRS. Read more about FIRPTA and whether it applies to you here. Keep in mind that the FIRPTA tax has to do with the financial gain a seller receives over how much they initially paid when purchasing their membership initially. To avoid paying the FIRPTA tax as a non-U.S. seller, you must have a U.S. Social Security Number OR an Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN). If the seller has neither of these, an application to obtain an ITIN must also be filed along with the other FIRPTA paperwork. The process of obtaining an ITIN can take some time, so we suggest you contact a FIRPTA compliance company as soon as possible.

What is HARPTA?

Like FIRPTA, HARPTA is based on the profit that is realized over what the seller initially paid to purchase the DVC membership. HARPTA stands for Hawaii Real Property Tax Act. It’s a Hawaii state tax withholding that applies to all real estate transactions in Hawaii. The act states that all non-resident sellers must withhold 7.25% of the “realized” price (usually the property’s sales price) and pay it directly to the Department of Taxation in Hawaii. Once proper documents are files, most sellers receive the withholding back unless a profit is made.

What are the benefits of purchasing directly from Disney?

When you purchase your real estate interest of at least 125 Vacation Points directly through Disney Vacation Development, Inc., you'll enjoy the following benefits: Access to Membership Extras including using your vacation points on Disney Cruise Line, select Disney Resort hotels around the world, Adventures by Disney and the Concierge Collection. Access to other offerings like exclusive Member events and discounts on dining and merchandise (of about 10%). These incidental benefits are not the reason most members join the Club. They become DVC members because they want to stay in luxury accommodations at Walt Disney World or one of the Vacation Clubs around the country, including Disney's Vero Beach Resort, Disney's Hilton Head Island Resort, Disney's Aulani Resort and Spa and Disney's Grand California Resort. Members don't typically use their points for Disney Cruises because they are far too costly. You would be better off renting your points and using the cash to pay for your cruise! Years ago, this was a much more attractive option. Any benefits a member gains by purchasing direct from Disney are insignificant compared to the thousands of dollars saved by buying a DVC Resale. To learn more, please contact a team member at 407-205-1435. Purchasing a DVC Resale will definitely save you money! Typically, most resale contracts sell for about 30%-50% less than buying direct from Disney. Our DVC resale vs. retail calculator will help show you what you could potentially save. No. Disney Vacation Club does not have a resale department to assist with selling your Membership. Disney does, however, purchase resale contracts that are sold on the resale market through the right of first refusal process. DVC Sales is a Licensed Real Estate Broker specializing assisting members who are interested in selling their contracts on the secondary market.

What happens if I want to sell my contract at Disney’s Riviera Resort?

The resale value of a Riviera contract remains unknown. Due to the newest restrictions, members who purchase a DVC resale at Riviera will only be able to stay at Riviera. One of the biggest benefits of being a DVC member is the ability to book stays at many different resorts, so this restriction will significantly reduce the value of a Riviera contract on the resale market. We strongly encourage all members looking to purchase Riviera contracts directly to consider this before purchasing.

Financing

What options are available for financing?

If you’re considering financing your DVC resale purchase, you’ll need to contact a private lender. A common option for DVC financing is to get a home equity or signature loan from your bank. It’s important to know the rules and regulations for your specific loan, because not all lenders may be licensed to secure loans in particular states. We recommend Vacation Club Loans, and Timeshare Lending, as they specialize in financing DVC resale purchases. Certain companies work with DVC properties in particular areas. Vacation Club Loans will lend for all DVC properties. Timeshare Lending works with properties in California, Hawaii, and South Carolina (all non-Florida properties). Read more about financing options here.

Who pays for closing costs?

Typically, closing costs range from $600 to $700 depending on the purchase price. These fees are paid by the buyers. Buyers cannot negotiate asking for the seller to pay or share in the cost of these fees. This fee includes a title search, providing the buyer with title insurance, document preparation and recording fees with the county where your property is based. Closing costs will differ from state to state. Florida, California, South Carolina, and Hawaii all have different laws to abide by and the fees differ as well. Property taxes are included in your yearly dues. At closing, all dues will be current but aren’t a part of closing costs. If points are available for the current Use Year, buyers will reimburse sellers for the yearly dues. The buyer always pays the closing costs. We do not allow buyers to negotiate who pays this fee, but they can negotiate on the price per point. Disney does charge sellers a $150.00 estoppel fee for each contract they sell.

Your real estate interest is expressed in the form of vacation points, which you use to book your reservation.

ROFR

What is ROFR?

ROFR stands for Right of First Refusal. Disney has the right to review every contract that is sold on the resale market. After a buyer and seller agree on the terms, both parties sign the necessary paperwork. Disney then has 30 days to look at the agreement and decide if they want to buy it back themselves, at the agreed upon price. Buyers often see this period as a painful delay in the sales process. They want to close as quickly as possible so that they can begin planning their next vacation! Sellers, however, often see this process a bit differently. They may not like the delay in closing, but the seller receives a check for the same amount regardless of who ends up with the contract. If Disney steps in to buy a contract, the buyer will receive a full refund of their deposit within 24 hours. The best part of Disney’s right of first refusal for ALL Disney Vacation Club members is that it keeps the value of their membership high. Traditional “timeshare” sells for pennies on the dollar on the resale market. But for those who have enjoyed many years of great vacations with DVC then decide to sell, they often are surprised at the value of their points. And it’s a pleasant surprise.

What if Disney buys my contract through ROFR?

ROFR stands for Right of First Refusal. Disney has the right to review every contract that is sold on the resale market. After a buyer and seller agree on the terms, both parties sign the necessary paperwork. Disney then has 30 days to look at the agreement and decide if they want to buy it back themselves, at the agreed upon price. Buyers often see this period as a painful delay in the sales process. They want to close as quickly as possible so that they can begin planning their next vacation! Sellers, however, often see this process a bit differently. They may not like the delay in closing, but the seller receives a check for the same amount regardless of who ends up with the contract. If Disney steps in to buy a contract, the buyer will receive a full refund of their deposit within 24 hours. The best part of Disney’s right of first refusal for ALL Disney Vacation Club members is that it keeps the value of their membership high. Traditional “timeshare” sells for pennies on the dollar on the resale market.

Selling Process

How long does the sales process take?

Once a contract has been signed and the deposit received, closing typically takes 45-50 days. The paperwork, once executed by both buyer and seller, then goes to Disney for ROFR. They have 30 days to decide if they would like to buy it back for that agreed-upon price or allow the sale to go through. This is called the Right of First Refusal (ROFR). This has little bearing on the seller because the seller will receive the exact same amount of money as the agreed-upon price, regardless of who is purchasing the contract. The buyer, however, will need to find another contract to purchase. We will keep you up to date the entire way through the sales process.
