Understanding the DVC Resale Deposit Process
When purchasing a Disney Vacation Club (DVC) resale contract, understanding the DVC resale deposit process is key to a smooth and secure transaction. At DVC Sales, we prioritize buyer protection and legal compliance by ensuring that all deposits are handled through licensed title companies and placed in secure escrow accounts.
How Much Is the DVC Resale Deposit?
Buyers are required to submit a deposit equal to 10% of the contract price, with a minimum of $1,000. This amount holds your contract and initiates the closing process. Most buyers prefer to use credit cards for convenience, though title companies typically impose credit card limits ranging from $1,000 to $5,000. Any remaining balance above the credit card limit must be paid via check or wire transfer.
Why Are Deposits Paid to the Title Company?
Although DVC Sales is owned and operated by a licensed Florida Real Estate Broker and is permitted to receive funds directly, we require that all deposits be submitted to the assigned title company. This ensures your money is safely held in a secure escrow account and that your transaction complies with Florida real estate regulations. This third-party handling protects all parties involved and maintains transparency throughout the transaction.
Title Companies and Resort Assignments
Because Disney Vacation Club contracts involve various resorts such as Aulani, Bay Lake Tower, or Grand Floridian, we work with several experienced title companies. Each is assigned depending on the resort in your transaction. Once your agreement is signed, you will receive instructions via email with a secure payment link. This link may come directly from the title company or through our office.
What Happens After You Submit the Deposit?
Once your deposit is received:
- The title company will send you a confirmation email.
- Our team will update your buyer dashboard on DVC Sales.
- Your deposit will be applied to your total purchase price and held in escrow until closing.
If your contract is canceled due to uncontrollable circumstances, such as Disney exercising its Right of First Refusal (ROFR), your deposit will be fully refunded.
