Front End: Compare DVC Brokers 1-2
When brokers leave closing costs and annual dues open to negotiation, buyers gain the advantage.
In these situations, brokers often coach their buyers to submit full—or nearly full—price offers, then shift those costs back onto the seller. So, at first glance, what appears to be a good deal for the seller turns out to be thousands less at closing. At DVC Sales, we don't allow that to happen. We lock in who pays what from the start—no gray areas, no surprises—so you know exactly what to expect and exactly what you'll net at closing.
Before listing your membership, consider whether your broker is truly protecting your interests—or quietly working in favor of the buyer.

Another Reason to Use DVC Sales
Understanding the True Cost of Selling Your DVC Membership
When comparing DVC resale brokers, the commission rate often appears to be the most important factor. However, the final amount you receive at closing depends on several additional costs that many sellers overlook. A broker advertising a lower commission rate may still result in less money in your pocket if other fees are shifted to you during the negotiation process.
The Standard Fees Every Seller Should Know
Every DVC resale transaction involves two primary costs for sellers. Disney charges a transfer fee of approximately 50 per contract, which is standard across all transactions regardless of which broker you use. The second cost is the broker commission, which varies between companies and typically ranges from 6.9% to 10% of the sale price. These are the fees you should expect to pay when selling your membership.
Hidden Costs That Can Reduce Your Proceeds
Beyond the commission, there are additional costs that can significantly affect your bottom line. Closing costs typically range from 00 to 00 and cover title search, document preparation, and escrow services. Annual maintenance dues, which can range from ,000 to ,000 or more depending on your contract size and home resort, are another factor. Many brokers allow buyers to negotiate who pays these costs. When a buyer requests that the seller cover closing costs or forgo dues reimbursement, what initially appears to be a full-price offer becomes substantially less at closing.
How DVC Sales Handles These Costs
At DVC Sales, we structure transactions differently. We establish upfront that buyers pay their own closing costs and reimburse sellers for the current year annual dues on available points. This means the price you agree to is closer to what you actually receive. Our commission rate of 6.9% is clearly stated, and we do not allow these terms to be renegotiated after listing. This approach provides sellers with more predictable outcomes and eliminates surprises at closing.
Running the Numbers
Consider a 0,000 contract sale. With a broker charging 8.5% commission while allowing the buyer to negotiate, you might pay ,700 in commission, plus 00 in closing costs shifted to you, plus forfeit ,400 in dues reimbursement. Your total cost could reach ,800. With DVC Sales at 6.9% commission where these costs remain with the buyer, your total cost would be approximately ,380 plus the 50 Disney fee. The difference can be over ,000 on a single transaction.
Making an Informed Decision
We encourage all DVC sellers to ask detailed questions about fee structures before listing with any broker. Understanding not just the commission rate but also how closing costs and dues reimbursement are handled will help you make a more informed decision. Request a written estimate of your net proceeds based on your specific contract details. The lowest advertised commission does not always translate to the highest net proceeds for sellers.
