Hi guys,
In the last couple of weeks I have made a few offers on some DVC listings. These have been lower offers, but I have made it clear that I am open to counteroffers and all of my offers have been within the dollar amounts that are listed here at DB as recently making through ROFR.
Many of the times I have made these offers, I hear back within 5 minutes that the seller is firm on their price and will not make a counter. I guess the skeptic in me finds it hard to believe that my email can be (1) immediately received and read, (2) all of these sellers can be contacted regularly within 2-3minutes, (3) seller can make a large financial decision and (4) a return email is sent to me; all of this transpiring regularly in the course of 4-5 minutes after I make an offer.
I can understand it happening, but I find it hard to believe that the process takes 5 minutes or less 100% of the time.
All of this to ask my question: the resellers list their properties at a certain price on their websites. In your experience, is each of the resellers equally good about truly presenting the offers? Is there something else at work here I don't know about, such as instructions to not contact the seller unless the price is at least X amount?
Any feedback is appreciated; thanks!
