Wondering how to respond to offers on DVC Sales without losing a potential buyer? You’re not alone — responding quickly and confidently is one of the most important steps in securing a successful sale. As soon as a buyer submits an offer on your listing, you’ll be notified instantly via email, text message (if enabled), and a dashboard alert in your DVC Sales account.
Once you log in, you’ll have three clear options:
Accept — You agree to the price and are ready to move forward
Counter — You want to suggest a different price
Decline — You’re not interested in the offer (not recommended)
We typically advise against declining outright. Even if the offer isn’t ideal, countering — even at full asking price — keeps the conversation alive and puts the next move on the buyer.
It’s important to act quickly. Some buyers send multiple offers across different platforms and will contract with the first seller who replies. While we can track their activity on DVC Sales, we can’t see what they’re doing elsewhere — which means any delay could cost you the sale.
To help you respond without hesitation, we recommend having a strategy in place before an offer comes in. Talk with your spouse or co-owner about what price range you’re willing to accept or counter, so you’re ready when the moment comes.
Once a price is agreed upon, the system generates the contract automatically for electronic signature. You’ll see real-time updates in your dashboard as each step is completed.
If you’d like help reviewing or responding to an offer, our team is available 7 days a week. Quick, thoughtful replies are the best way to turn an offer into a sale.
