I truly enjoy getting to know the resale experts I work with and this week I had the sheer pleasure of speaking with Bert Santos of DVC Resale Market<\/a><\/strong>.\u00a0 When I first met Bert in their Orlando office in 2016, he was all smiles and had a welcoming charm. Since then, I have come to know Bert as responsive!\u00a0 He is quick to pick up to phone and always answers our mutual clients\u2019 questions with extreme clarity and extensive knowledge of the DVC product.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00a0How did Bert get so knowledgeable about DVC?\u00a0 25 years of experience!\u00a0 Bert joined the Disney Vacation Club sales team a quarter of a century ago, with 7 of those years “working” on their Exclusive Cruise Team where he did 60 Disney cruises teaching passengers the joy and value of DVC ownership.\u00a0 Now, as part of the resale side of our vacation industry since 2016, he continues to teach buyers the joy of DVC along with the savings of resales listed with DVC Resale Market.\u00a0 Bert says, \u201che\u2019s a frugal guy by nature and you can\u2019t beat the savings buying resale<\/em>\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bert\u2019s opportunity to work for Disney Vacation Club all those years filled his 2nd<\/sup> biggest passion, his 1st<\/sup> being his family, of traveling.  He\u2019s traveled to over 45 countries including a trip to Disneyland Paris.  And Bert has a big 1st<\/sup> passion; a father of 5 daughters!  He and his wife of 20 years, Viviana, also get to enjoy their first baby granddaughter, Salome.  Bert\u2019s philosophy is \u201cGod gave us two ears and one mouth for a reason; we should listen twice as much as we should speak\u201d.<\/em>  I like that and it probably comes in handy with all those lovely ladies in his life! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When I asked\nBert what his favorite memories of Disney are, he must sort through so\nmany.  Born in New York, but growing up\nin Miami, FL, he had the convenience of coming to Disney World almost twice a\nmonth as it was a quick car ride up with his dad.  He continued that park-visiting tradition\nwith his own daughters once he moved to Windermere, FL just outside of Orlando.  He loves enjoying Epcot with his kids, he\nsays \u201cMy family and I love to travel and actually have been to over 45\ncountries.  Many of these countries are\nfeatured within World Showcase so it takes me back to those memories and\nvacations over the years\u201d.  <\/em>The\nfamily still loves Tower of Terror within Hollywood Studios, although now Bert reports\n\u201cI can only ride it once and can no longer ride it 7 times in a row like I\ndid when I was younger<\/em>\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When asked which DVC resort is his personal favorite, he\u2019s quick to answer \u201cDisney\u2019s Boardwalk Villas.  I was part of the opening team back in 1996 so I\u2019ve enjoyed it from day one.  It has my family memories attached to it. We\u2019ve stayed at many DVC properties, but Boardwalk is special to me.  When we stay at DVC properties, we always try to book the 2-bedroom villas so they can accommodate everyone easily\u201d.<\/em> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a DVC expert, I had to ask Bert what his advice is was when buying a resale.\u00a0 He responds \u201cwhen looking at points packages to buy, booking strategies should come into play. There are a few questions that need to be answered to find the right package.\u00a0 1. Will you need the 11-month window for special dates or a certain resort?\u00a0 If yes, then you will need the advantage of Home Resort priority.\u00a0 2. If you currently own DVC and are adding on: how often to you \u201cwaitlist\u201d?\u00a0 Are you getting the reservations you want at 7 months? Also, are you a banker, a borrower, or about right?\u00a0 I can easily explain many items such as banked points, years remaining, making offers, and financing if needed.\u00a0 All these pieces are important to getting the best deal on the right contract that\u2019s why I tell clients to call me so I can help them before they spend hours on unnecessary research trying to learn on their own.\u00a0 I\u2019m here to help. \u201c<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bert\u2019s Colombian heritage gifts him with the ability to speak, read, and write in both English and Spanish fluently, with Portuguese and French (working proficiency)<\/strong>, which helps his diverse group of sellers and buyers ease through the DVC process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s been\nsuch a pleasure working with Bert and enjoying his sense of humor over the last\n4 years, and I look forward too many more together as he is such a blessed man.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
