- Why should I use A Timeshare Broker, Inc.?
A Timeshare Broker, Inc. has been successfully satisfying both buyers and sellers by providing an easy direct way to purchase and sell timeshare. For approximately 14 years we have taken pride in offering personalized service, with emphasis on each individual family’s needs. Only Licensed Florida Real Estate Brokers and Sales Associates serve the public in our office. Their combined experience is over 74 years. - Why can’t I offer my ownership directly to DVC?
DVC requires that existing owners sell their ownerships through the resale market. Once an offer has been accepted, contracts have been signed and a good faith deposit has been sent in by the buyer, DVC will review the contract and decide whether to exercise their Right of First Refusal. There must be a legitimate buyer in place for this to happen. - How do I list my ownership with A Timeshare Broker, Inc. as an open listing (able to be listed with as many companies as I want and with no penalties for rescinding the listing)? All of our Disney Vacation Club listings are considered “OPEN.” Our philosophy is “May the best company succeed in acquiring your business”. We only earn a commission when we produce a ready, willing and able buyer at an agreed upon selling price and both buyer and seller have affixed their signatures to the “For Sale and Purchase” contract. Commissions are paid at closing.
- How do I know what my DVC ownership is worth? Each resort has a different value. Please contact us through the form below and we will contact you via e-mail with a market analysis if your ownership. We will not share this information with any other company and this is not an automatic listing.
- What are your up front fees for advertising?
This one is easy, $0! We advertise on our website and through relationships built with clients since 1993 and including many other avenues. We have never charged any monies up front for listing a timeshare and will never charge any up front fees for DVC listings. - Can I sell a portion of my points and keep the rest?
Unfortunately, the answer is no. DVC requires that contracts are resold exactly as they were bought. - What is my cost of sale?
The only cost of sale to the seller is a commission earned and disbursed by a licensed title company. Commission rates can vary based on the size of the contract being sold. We do not have the overhead of a brick and mortar store front in a market place that is approximately 99% internet driven. We will pass these savings on to our sellers! - Who pays closing costs?
Closing costs are typically paid by the buyer. This is one of the factors that DVC will look at closely during their Right of First Refusal process. - I have paid maintenance and taxes for the year. Is this money a loss?
Absolutely not! It is common for buyers to offer all or a portion of reimbursement for any monies paid towards present year’s points that will transfer for the new owner’s usage. Banked points from the previous year are usually thrown in as an incentive for buyers and will make your ownership more attractive in a very competitive market. - What is DVC’s Right of First Refusal and how does it affect me?
DVC sets their “Fair Market Value” break point for each resort and if they find that a particular contract is deemed “Under Fair Market Value” or if DVC has an unspecified internal need for your particular ownership, they will step in as the Buyer. The terms you agreed upon with the original Buyer will be honored. DVC will take over the closing process. - How much is the good faith deposit and who controls the money?
The good faith deposit is usually 10% of the purchase price or $1,000, whichever is higher, and is held in escrow by a licensed and bonded title company. All monies are controlled by the title company. - Do I have to come to Florida for the closing?
No. Contracts and closing documents are sent via e-mail or fax. It is a very simple closing and we are here for the entire process. - Are contracts contingent on Buyer’s financing?
No. We do not write contracts contingent on Buyer obtaining financing. - When an offer is accepted, how long before I can expect my proceeds from the sale?
The normal time frame is about 12 weeks from offer to disbursement of funds. Of course, this is all predicated by how quickly DVC accomplishes the Right of First Refusal process.
