Debbie’s Story
In 2016, Debbie Ely launched Vacation Club Loans to improve the resale market by offering affordable financing options to DVC resale buyers and other top brands including Marriott, Hilton, Hyatt, and Westin.
Debbie Ely holds a degree in accounting and applies her passion for math at work every day. She says “it is such a joy to work hard and love the work you do” while teaming with buyers and licensed resale brokers. When calling the office, Debbie is usually the one answering the phone. Although she is part of the executive team, connecting with her customers is her favorite part of each day. She is answering questions and loves helping buyers understand every step of the resale process.
Debbie is also a proud owner of DVC! She uses her points for regular stays at all the Disney properties in Orlando on her monthly trips. Her biggest DVC highlight was visiting Aulani in Hawaii which she cannot wait to visit again someday. Her son Zachary, now 18 and applying to colleges, is a huge Disney fan and loves the Polynesian Villas and Bungalows best which is their home resort.
For personal joy, she loves to cook including homemade pasta that she learned how to make in Italy. She enjoys listening to audio books while driving to and from Orlando, kayaking in the Florida Keys, and (when time allows) chatting with neighbors on the patio.
Her bucket list includes visiting Disney’s Grand Californian as it is the one resort, she has not visited yet.
