How to Present an Offer on a Disney Vacation Club Resale

One of the most common questions we receive is:
“Can I present an offer — and how does the process work?”

The good news is that making an offer on a Disney Vacation Club (DVC) resale property is easy, straightforward, and far less formal than buying a home. Here’s how it works and what to expect every step of the way.

Step 1: Submitting Your Offer

You can present an offer at any time!
Our licensed sales associates are happy to assist you from start to finish — helping you decide on a fair offer price, explaining Disney’s Right of First Refusal (ROFR), and then presenting your offer to the seller.

To get started, simply email or call us with the following details:

• Your full legal names, address, phone number, & email address
• Whether you’ll be paying cash or financing
• If you’re a current DVC member
• Any other relevant information about your purchase
• And of lastly, what you’d like to offer

Once we receive your information, we’ll contact the seller right away.

Step 2: Seller Response and Negotiation

After your offer is presented, the seller will typically:

• Accept the offer
• Provide a counteroffer, or
• Hold firm at their listed price

Most sellers respond the same day, and nearly all within 24 hours or less.
If the seller chooses not to negotiate, it’s often because:

• They have a larger mortgage payoff to account for, or
• The offer is considered too far below the asking price or below typical market value.

That’s where our experienced associates can help — providing insight on what price may interest or motivate the seller to accept or counter your offer, while still being likely to pass Disney’s ROFR.

Step 3: Signing and Deposit

Once both parties agree on terms, our office will prepare the purchase agreement for electronic signature.
A 10% deposit (based on the purchase price) is due within 7 days.
You can make the deposit conveniently by credit card, keeping the process simple and secure. If you prefer to mail a check, that’s fine too.

Step 4: Disney’s Right of First Refusal (ROFR)

After the contract is signed and the deposit received, we’ll submit the sale to Disney Vacation Club for review.
Disney typically takes about 30 days to decide whether to:

• Waive their right and allow the sale to proceed, or
• Exercise ROFR, meaning Disney buys the contract instead

If Disney waives their right, your title company will prepare the final closing documents for both buyer and seller.
If Disney steps in and purchases the contract, our team will contact you immediately to review your options and help you either find another great property or refund your deposit 100% in full.

Step 5: You’re One Step Closer to “Welcome Home!”

Presenting an offer on a DVC resale with The Timeshare Store, Inc. ®. is an easy and exciting process — and most sellers are open to reasonable negotiation.

If you have any questions before submitting an offer, please reach out to one of our associates. We’re always happy to help you through the process and make your DVC dreams come true!
