I’m on hold with DVC. So far it’s been 3 hours…

My husband and I have been thinking of selling our two DVC timeshares. It’s been over 20 years and I’ll feel sad to give it up, but our customer service experience has gone completely through the floor. We are trying to use up points by booking an ABD trip, and it’s absurd that it takes this long. I see that there are many DVC timeshares for sale, but it’s time to call it a day. Any suggestions on where to list for sale?

sellingtimeshares.net is Seth Nock's company. He has been a member of TUG for years, but maybe he is no longer. He does have good luck selling DVC.

We have used dvcstore.com to buy/sell 4X. They are excellent to deal with. Price it at market rate and it should sell quickly. DVC is very easy to sell via one of the major brokers.

It is a buyers market right now because so many DVC contracts are for sale but DVD has also been buying up a large number of contracts. Last month they bought back approx 76 SSR contracts thru ROFR.

It seems you're not the only one who's dissatisfied. We're holding out a little longer but are definitely on the fence.

Those 76 SRR were also only through one broker (DVC Resale Market). The number is probably much larger when you add in all the other brokers handling resales.

we still love the resorts--WDW parks, not so much! We now do 2-3 night resort stays on the way to other FL areas/cruise, etc. We have 5 days of tickets left--we'll do 1 park day here and there until those are gone.

Please forgive my ignorance, but what is an ABD trip? I recognize that as "all but dissertation"

***Is it Adventures by Disney?!?***

(I have a feeling I will feel sheepish after I know)

Don't worry, I had no idea what it was either. I don't know all the DVC lingo.

The two we like the best are the DVC Store and ResalesDVC. Smooth experience with both. The DVC Store is advertising a 7.5 commission right now if you list before June 30th. Most of the other companies are 8.5.

We just sold two contracts using DVC Resale Market. One was under contract within a few days and the other in about a week. ROFR took just under 30 days. We had the money in less than 90 days. We were happy with the price we got for our two sets of points (one 50 pt contract, one 100 pt contract). Reached out to them via email on March 11, had the money in hand before the end of May.
