Similar to residential real estate transactions, the seller pays commission on resale DVC transactions. Though Disney Vacation Club is a deeded timeshare, it is considered the same as a condominium as it pertains to some rules like annual meetings. According to Disney Vacation Club, a DVC purchase is a real estate transaction. You purchase, ‘an ownership interest in a Disney Vacation Club Resort. A deed is recorded in public records representing your ownership interest. This real estate interest entitles you to an annual allotment of Vacation Points that you use to reserve accommodations through Disney Vacation Club.’ A licensed real estate broker, enter DVC Resale Experts, helps you complete the sale of a Disney Vacation Club contract on the resale DVC market. Disney Vacation Club, does not have a resale department itself and even recommends contacting a licensed real estate professional in scenarios pertaining to reselling vacation points

Are there other DVC resale costs buyers and sellers should know about?

Just like in traditional real estate, resale DVC Membership transactions have closing costs. Usually the buyer pays closing costs but this is negotiable. However, there is a $150 estoppel fee paid by the seller. Closing costs vary based on the state the Home Resort is located in and the price of the sale. To provide a general idea, if the resale DVC contract you’re buying is $20,000, closing costs in Florida would come in at about $678. Out of the current 15 Disney Vacation Club Resorts, 12 are located in Florida including all those at Walt Disney World Resort. At Disneyland Resort in California, The Villas at Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel & Spa closing costs are mostly comparable and the same goes for Disney’s Hilton Head Island Resort in South Carolina. Closing costs are different and more expensive for Hawaii where Aulani, A Disney Resort & Spa is located. Resale DVC buyers may also need to pay annual dues up front depending on when the contract is purchased. Annual dues vary by resort and are paid depending on how many points you have. For example, annual dues at The Villas at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa are $7.01 per point as of 2022. Based on this, if you buy 100 points your dues would be $701.00 for the year.
