About The Timeshare Store, Inc.®

About Us

The Timeshare Store, Inc.® (DVCstore.com) has been selling Disney Vacation Club contracts since 1994, and we specialize in DVC—exclusively.

Our broker, Thomas Yeary, and his wife, Judy Yeary, originally launched a timeshare real estate division within Williamsburg Realty in 1994, working with all types of timeshare properties. It quickly became clear, however, that Disney Vacation Club was a unique market with its own demand, rules, and value—very different from traditional timeshares.

The First to Sell a Disney Vacation Club Resale

Early on, our broker formed a close professional relationship with one of Disney’s original DVC Guides—one of the first six hired by Disney.

That relationship proved invaluable, as Disney began referring members directly to us when they needed assistance selling their DVC contracts. In fact, Disney confirmed that we were the first brokerage to successfully sell a Disney Vacation Club property back in 1994.

Our Growth and Evolution

From 1994 to 1997, founders Tom and Judy Yeary operated out of Williamsburg Realty’s real estate office as they built what would become The Timeshare Store, Inc.®. As the business grew, it became clear that a larger office space was needed. In 1997, The Timeshare Store, Inc.® opened its own brick-and-mortar office next to SeaWorld Orlando, where it remained for more than two decades.

In 2021, as the world shifted toward remote work due to Covid, we made the decision to close our physical storefront while continuing to deliver the same high level of service our clients had come to expect. Today, our team operates in a remote setting—but we remain firmly rooted in Central Florida.

Our team is in close proximity to Walt Disney World, and we are always happy to meet with clients face-to-face when personalized, in-person service is desired. While the office walls may have changed, our local knowledge, experience, and commitment to our clients remain exactly the same.

A Trusted Name in the Disney Vacation Club Resale Industry

The Timeshare Store,Inc.® was founded with one clear goal: to make Disney Vacation Club ownership simple, transparent, and stress-free.

Thomas Yeary, Founding owner and DVC broker of the Timeshare Store
Thomas Yeary

Founding Owner / Broker

Founded The Timeshare Store, Inc.® In 1994
Incorporated In 1997

Thomas Yeary began his career in the timeshare industry in 1982, working alongside his wife, Judy Yeary, at Orange Lake Country Club. Together, they built a reputation for exceptional customer service and industry-leading closing ratios — qualities that would define their careers.

In 1985, Tom and Judy were recruited by Marriott to help launch its second timeshare property, Sabal Palms Resort, and played an integral role in the early development of what would become Marriott Vacation Club. Their experience in direct sales gave them a deep understanding of both the industry and their owners’ needs.

After years of success, Tom and Judy recognized a growing gap in the marketplace: owners who wanted a professional, ethical, and knowledgeable way to resell their timeshare interests.

That insight led to the creation of a timeshare resale division within Williamsburg Realty in 1994. As demand grew quickly, they expanded the business and officially incorporated The Timeshare Store, Inc.® in December of 1997, establishing a dedicated 1,600-square-foot brick-and-mortar office one exit away from Disney off I-4. 

While the company initially represented multiple timeshare brands, Tom’s close professional relationships with Disney Vacation Club—including early referrals from Disney—set the company apart. In fact, The Timeshare Store, Inc.® became the original Disney Vacation Club resale brokerage, focusing exclusively on DVC long before the resale market was widely recognized or understood.

Today, The Timeshare Store, Inc.® is staffed by six dedicated, licensed real estate professionals who specialize solely in Disney Vacation Club resales and rentals.

Tom’s philosophy has always remained simple: treat every client the way you would want to be treated — whether buying, selling, or renting. No pressure. No shortcuts. Just honest, knowledgeable guidance built on decades of experience.
