6.5 The Timeshare, Inc.® Listing Agreement Disclosures

  1. No upfront listing fees, advertising fees, or appraisal fees are required.
  2. The Timeshare Store, Inc.® acts as a Transaction Broker for both the buyer and the seller. The owner must contact The Timeshare Store, Inc.® if the property is no longer available for sale. This will stop our further efforts to secure a Buyer.
    Please either call us at 1-800-550-6493 or you can email us at sales@dvcstore.com.
  3. All proceeds from the sale will be disbursed promptly upon closing by the law firm or title company handling the closing.
  4. Owner shall indemnify and hold The Timeshare Store, Inc.®, its officers, and employees harmless against and from any misrepresentations made herein by the owner or owners’ resort.
    Managing entity, resort developer, developer, or resort sales associate, or failure of the owner to perform thereunder.
  5. If the points availability (i.e., points current, banked, and borrowed) of the contract(s) listed with The Timeshare Store, Inc.® changes, it is the responsibility of the seller to notify The Timeshare Store, Inc.® immediately, as this changes the accuracy & value of the listings.
  6. There are no judgments or pending litigation against the Broker resulting from or alleging a violation by the Broker of Chapters 475, 498, 718, or 721 of the Florida Statutes or resulting from or alleging consumer fraud on the part of the Broker.
  7. This agreement represents our entire understanding and merges and supersedes all prior written or oral representations.

    In 2023, The Timeshare Store, Inc.® had 765 contracts listed for sale and sold 749 (approximately 98%)
    As a Disney Vacation Club owner/seller, you will incur two costs by listing with The Timeshare Store, Inc.®. The first is our commission of 8.5%. The second is the $150 fee Disney charges for the estoppel. All Liens, mortgages, maintenance fees, and late fees owed shall be subtracted from the seller’s net price after commission.
  10. Although the buyer usually pays the closing costs, they can be negotiable. Sometimes a buyer will ask you to pay all or part of the closing costs. In addition, a buyer may ask you to pay the current year’s annual dues. Whether you pay any or all of the dues or closing costs is your choice, as we present the buyer’s offer.
  11. As the seller, you acknowledge that upon execution of a sale or acceptance of a sale/offer with a Buyer, the transaction is binding. The Seller may not cancel or withdraw from the agreement without legal justification as allowed by law if the Seller cancels the transaction or fails to complete the sale without a legally valid reason (such as buyer nonperformance). In that case, the Seller agrees to pay the Broker the full commission as outlined in this Listing Agreement, as if the transaction had been completed. Furthermore, the Seller may be subject to legal action for any damages, costs, or liabilities incurred by the Broker, Buyer, or other parties as a result of the Seller’s cancellation or failure to perform under the agreement.
  12. IMPORTANT NOTE FOR ALL NON-U.S. PERSONS:

    1. Note: Non-U.S. persons (defined as anyone who is not a U.S. citizen, a green card holder, or a resident alien for U.S. tax purposes) will be subject to a 15% FIRPTA (Foreign Investment in Real Property Tax Act) tax withholding on the total sales price at the time of closing. As a foreign seller, you must decide how to address this mandatory withholding requirement.

      If you require additional assistance, please contact FIRPTA Solutions, Inc. a FIRPTA specialist. Whitney Grant at FIRPTA Solutions, Inc. is a FIRPTA specialist who assists with the FIRPTA tax and the information you’ll need to provide to complete the sale of your Disney Vacation Club. Whitney Grant’s email is grant.whitney@firptasolutions.com, or she can be reached via phone at 239-663-0414 to assist you in applying for the FIRPTA withholding certificate, acting as your own representative, or relinquishing the 15% to the IRS.
    2. Note: The property sale will eventually require documents to be notarized or solicited. This might require a fee in your country, anywhere from $50 to $350.
  13. IMPORTANT NOTE FOR NON-HAWAII RESIDENTS SELLING AULANI ONLY

    Note: Non-Hawaii Residents selling Aulani will be assessed a 7.25% HARPTA (Hawaii Real Property Tax Law) tax on the selling price at the time of closing. You can apply for an exemption via a qualified HARPTA specialist. We recommend First American Vacation Ownership Title and Escrow Services, Inc.
    If you own a Grand Californian or Aulani Resort, please enclose a COPY of your Deed if possible. All names on the deed must sign.
