Search With Confidence

Every listing on DVC Sales shows the full point breakdown: current year, banked, and borrowed points, the use year, resort, and our exclusive deal rating. You can filter by resort, price range, and contract size to find exactly what fits your vacation style. Our deal ratings compare each listing against recent sales data so you know instantly whether a price is competitive.

Offer & Negotiate in Real Time

When you find a contract you love, submit your offer in seconds. The seller is notified immediately and can accept, counter, or decline. Most negotiations wrap up within a few days. Our platform keeps everything transparent: you see the listing price, the seller sees your offer, and both sides have full visibility into every counter. No hidden fees, no surprises.

Understand Disney's ROFR Process

Once both parties sign the purchase agreement, it goes to Disney for their Right of First Refusal review. Disney has 30 days to match the agreed-upon price. While this step adds time to the process, the vast majority of resale contracts pass through without Disney exercising their right. During this period, your deposit is held safely in escrow, and our team keeps you updated every step of the way.

Close Securely

After ROFR clears, our licensed title company prepares all closing documents. You wire your purchase funds into a secure, insured escrow account. Both buyer and seller sign electronically, and virtual notary services are available if needed. The title company records the deed with the county and notifies Disney to transfer the membership into your name.

The Resale Advantage

DVC members who buy resale at the original 14 resorts enjoy the same core booking benefits as direct buyers: the same rooms, the same point system, and the ability to book at any DVC resort. Newer resorts (Riviera, Disneyland Hotel Villas, Fort Wilderness Cabins) carry resale restrictions that limit booking to that resort only. Resale buyers at all resorts lose certain member perks like Moonlight Magic events, dining discounts, and Disney Collection access — but for most families, the savings far outweigh those extras.

The savings, however, are anything but minor. Resale buyers typically pay 40-60% less than Disney's retail price, putting thousands of dollars back in your pocket for park tickets, dining, and experiences. That means more magic for your family, year after year, for decades to come.

Common Questions

Can I use resale points at any DVC resort?

It depends on the resort. Contracts at the original 14 DVC resorts (such as Animal Kingdom, Saratoga Springs, Polynesian, and others opened before 2019) have no booking restrictions — resale buyers can book at any DVC resort just like direct buyers. However, contracts purchased resale at newer resorts — Riviera, The Villas at Disneyland Hotel, and Cabins at Fort Wilderness — are restricted to booking only at that specific resort. Resale buyers also do not receive certain member perks like Moonlight Magic events, dining discounts, or Disney Collection access, but you do get the same rooms, the same point system, and full access to Interval International's 3,200+ resorts worldwide.

How long does the entire buying process take?

From accepted offer to Disney membership transfer, the process typically takes 45 to 60 days. The largest portion of that time is Disney's 30-day ROFR review. The closing and transfer process usually takes an additional two to three weeks after ROFR clears.

What happens if Disney exercises ROFR?

If Disney matches the price and takes the contract, your full deposit is refunded. You can then find another listing and submit a new offer. Most contracts do pass ROFR, especially at market-rate pricing.

Is my money protected during the transaction?

Absolutely. All funds are held in an insured escrow account managed by a licensed title company. Your money is never released to the seller until the deed is recorded and Disney confirms the membership transfer.

Mark was a great guy to work with while successfully selling my 6 DVC contracts. He definitely knows the DVC business well. He always responded very quickly any time I had questions or needed help with any part of the sales process. He works very hard to earn his commission, especially considering that he has the lowest one around. He is up front about everything with no hidden surprises. I would obviously not hesitate to use his services again.

Mark was incredible about helping us with any questions we had during the process of purchasing our first DVC contract. Mark helped us navigate all aspects from making our offer all the way to the close of the deal and getting our points loaded up. We would certainly buy more points here in the future! I highly recommend him and his team.

We are DVC members since 2004. Mark and Lori Webb are truly amazing. We have sold and purchased two DVC contracts, Boardwalk and Copper Creek. The process from beginning to end was seamless. It could not have gone any smoother. They both made us so comfortable. They were available 24/7 and returned calls quickly. The whole office staff was efficient and answered all our questions. It was a Magical Experience! Thank you so much!! Ed and Gale Liddell

I had a great experience selling my Grand Floridian contract. Mark was super helpful and easy to get in touch with when needed. The website was easy to use and handled the process seamlessly. It was nice to be able to check in on the status tracker. Closing went smoothly and a lot faster than I expected. All around a great experience. I highly recommend DVC Sales!

Very happy with all aspects of working with DVC Sales and this is the second time of using them! Their website is clear and user-friendly and as international sellers, the information on FIRPTA was hugely helpful, particularly the links to all the forms. The whole process from start to finish has been seamless. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend to other sellers as a highly professional company. Thank you Mark!
