Anyone made it through (or not made it through) ROFR recently? - Section IV

[Caren90]

I'm another step closer. I received my closing documents yesterday via email. Signed them and sent overnight , along with a certified bank check, back to the closing company. I'm 100% done with my end of things. Hopefully the seller is prompt. A few more weeks until its official....YIPEEE!

Congratulations and here is wishing you a speedy closing. It seems like a loooong wait but it will be worth it.

We just found out that we passed ROFR. Here's our details...

SSR (Aug UY) 150 points
$50 per point
buyer pays closing, and 1/4 MF
150 (2012), 150 (2013) and all points going forward

Can't wait to have our new points in the system (we already own at AKL), even though we won't need to book until January. Thanks so much to all who contribute on this board. Your advice/ experience was very helpful when trying to find the right contract.

With all the points that is coming with that's still working out to a nice deal with the seller paying closing and MF.

Thanks Doug - I have to think the 138 pts are lost since Oct & Nov is so busy. I will try to have them do a banking exception and see how that goes.

I don't think you can bank the 138 points because they were already banked from 2010

First off, WELCOME!

Yeah, the seller procrastination variable is a frustrating one. You'd think they would be eager to get their cash and be done, but that doesn't always seem to be the case.

Often times sellers have loans that they are not completely satisfying so they too, need to come up with cash. A point often overlooked when people wonder why sellers take so long.

Those 138 points can't be banked as they are from 2010. But I'd put those points out there to rent as soon as you get the points added to your membership. Rent them out cheap enough and you might get someone to take a night here and there even if the location and room size isn't perfect.

Good luck.

First off, WELCOME!

Yeah, the seller procrastination variable is a frustrating one. You'd think they would be eager to get their cash and be done, but that doesn't always seem to be the case.

There are many variables that can contribute to a seller's delay in getting paperwork returned. Whether it be a divorce situation, an estate situation, a need to come up with cash to pay off the loan, a situation where the contracts need to be notarized, or a foreign seller, there are often many obstacles on the sell side that do not exist on the buy side.

Add to that the fact that buyers are typically hyper focused on their upcoming purchase and the excitement level is high. I'm guessing that the excitement level to part with one's DVC ownership is much lower and that it falls lower down on the "to do" list.

I think that the important thing to remember is that these things take time. The waiting isn't fun, but it's what we sign on for when we choose to purchase resale. My BLT contract closed at the 10 1/2 month window for my big upcoming two family trip. Not only did I survive, but I was able to book the room I wanted despite missing the 11 month window by a full two weeks.

Now that we've passed ROFR, I feel comfortable sharing our information without feeling like I'm going to jinx it.

We purchased our first DVC contract - a small point - so that we could pay cash and not finance. We just passed ROFR with:

AKV 25 points
Feb UY
25 2012 (which we banked)
25 2013
25 2014

$69/point
Buyer to pay closing and 2012 MF

We passed ROFR in less than 30 days - our 30 mark would have been this coming Sunday, the 23rd.

We are using TSS and *** - they've been great so far! We're now waiting for our closing documents which should hopefully come in the next few days and we'll be on our way to finally becoming DVC members!

Congratulations! I wish the best of luck, and hope you don't have a procrastinating seller! (I had one of each on two offers that were accepted on the same date -- one contract is already in the system and the points are available to me, while the other is still awaiting seller docs... doh!).

What a great feeling, eh? And I'm not sure why you say that's not a great deal. If you get anything out of the 2010 points, it's an extremely good price for an almost totally loaded contract, and you got the seller's to pay both MF and closing cost!

We just submitted our first contract to Disney for ROFR on 8/21/12. We are very excited, yet nervous at the same time. I know there is not really a way to know, but how do our chances look?

BWV 30 points @ $69pp with October UY, 30 pts 2011, 30 pts 2012, and 30 pts 2013. Buyer pays MF and CC.

Thanks for all the help.

We received the email yesterday that we passed ROFR! We are looking foward to many trips to WDW. We wanted a small contract for the DVC AP discount, now with the DVC PAP discount our small contract will pay for itself in less than two years. Again, thanks to everyone for the information on this forum!

 

[hfehr1s]

We just submitted our first contract - anxiously starting the waiting game.

Details:

OKW-not extended (March UY) 150 Points
$55 per point
buyer pays closing, seller pays '12 MFs
150 (2012) 150 (2013)

Nervous - looks like they've been taking OKW contracts....

 

[jakers]

Passed ROFR yesterday on our first contract.

25 point HH with March use year. No 2012 points, 25 points coming 2013 and beyond. Buyer paid closing, Seller paid MF for 2012 (guess that makes sense since they used all the points for 2012).

Wanted a small contract to find out what the process was really like and to get the discounts (especially the new discount!) on APs. We will save almost the entire amount of our contract with the discounts.

Thanks to everyone for sharing their information, it really helped us to be patient during the ROFR process. By the way, it was sent for ROFR on 8/22 in case anyone is tracking that timeline.

This has also been my feeling.
We received an email that we passed ROFR.

BCV 100pt Dec UY
all 2012 & 2013 pts.
$75/pt buyer pays closing & MF

Offer made Aug. 17th, sent to Disney Aug. 24th and passed ROFR on Sept. 19th. Just short of four weeks.

I know I over paid but, I have been bidding on small point BCV contracts for two years now. I have been the second/next person on a contract more times than I can count. I know I still got a better deal then if I bought direct from Disney. All my other contracts are direct Disney purchases.

 

[MickeyFan612]

Got the news on Monday morning-

ROFR'd on BCV $67/pt 270 (DEC) 270 '11, 270 '12 buyer pay closing and seller pay '12 maint. fees

Congrats! The new mega-discount on PAPs does make those small contracts look particularly appealing!

Congrats and good luck! At one point I would've assured you that you would be fine, but given recent choices by the ROFR gorilla, you might be right on the border. Hope it works out!

Congrats. While you might've been able to save a bit more, the next poster's sad news at the BCV contract being ROFR tells you that you couldn't have saved THAT much. And ending two years of frustration must feel great!

Got the news on Monday morning-

ROFR'd on BCV $67/pt 270 (DEC) 270 '11, 270 '12 buyer pay closing and seller pay '12 maint. fees

Wow, so sorry to hear it. That's a good deal, but not so good that I would've thought the gorilla would've snapped it up. Hope the next one works out better!
