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

[LauraLea]

Alas, our news from Jason was different. Struck down by ROFR.

I am so sorry to hear this Joe. After making it thru ROFR once and still not getting the contract, you deserved better this time.

I admire you ability to stick with it and try again.

Good Luck. I'll be watching and sending you pixie dust for your next contract.

Laura

RayJay....yes, I did "miss" disneymiss...sorry about that!! You are moved!!

JoeEpcotRocks...I agree with LauraLea....I am CERTAINLY rooting for you over here!!!

winniedapooh - 52 OKW (Aug) $76 (52 for both 2003/04 banked=104 use by 8/1/05) (sub 4/1) pass 4/22

I can't believe this got through ROFR. With all these banked points the buyer got 3 years for the price of one. I wish I saw this ad, maybe I would have bought it, even though I am downsizing right now. It is a beautiful contract. I wouldn't have offered such a low price, knowing the ROFR on a contract like this, but then I wouldn't have gotten the sale of all sales winniedapooh did!!

 

[keishashadow]

I think this is the first property I received a call on from the Timeshare Store (maybe not?). As I recall $76 was the asking price and by the time I returned the call (less than ten minutes) it was spoken for . . . The small resales evidently go quickly, a good way for us newbies to test the water.

Hope I don't catch "addonitis" too soon, hmmm part of the Contemporary might become a timeshare?

 

[JoeEpcotRocks]

Thanks to all who expressed sympathy for our ROFR smackdown.

We' re still looking! BWV's or bust.

 

[mommary]

We just got word from Jason at the Timeshare store that our bid was ok'd by Disney. It only took about three weeks and we are moving ahead with the closing. We bought 300 points at the Wilderness Lodge in December at $80 a point. It also had 289 points banked from this year. I'm very excited and look forward to being a member of DVC.
Mary

 

[mommary]

We were just told by Jason at the Timeshare store that Disney has waived the ROFD for our VWL purchase. We bought 300 points in December at $80 a point . This has taken about 3 weeks and are proceeding with the closing which I'm told will take another 2-3 weeks.
Very excited.
Mommary

 

[mommary]

Sorry this went through twice, I'm still figuring all this stuff out!
mommary

 

[tigger002]

Wish me luck. I probably gave more than I had too but it appears to be hard to get a Beach Club one. $85 no closing, Oct contract with 150 coming in October and 120 banked. Maint fees only on 120 banked pts for months after closing so about 4 months. I will have Disney transfer fees.

 

[wbcincy]

well, we got word that Disney waived their ROFR, so we're now officially going to be members!!! I thought we would get through, but the nervousness was still there. Now just anticipating getting the closing done and our first reservation in.

 

[WithDisneySpirit]

Congratulations, mommary and wbcincy!!!!

I'm almost at the top of the waiting list, I hope I get my news this week. $77 has me nervous, but it's a stripped contract and I just bought a 150pt contract through Disney so maybe they'll be nice and let it go !!!

Good Luck to everyone else !!!!!

We've been lurking here for a while, and appreciate all the helpful posts that have gotten us up to speed.

Here's another one to add to the waiting list:

150 points BWV (Jun), $78, all '05, seller pays closing (submitted 4/21)

Wish us luck -- if we get it, we'll be joining DVC!

One comment, and maybe Beca or someone else can join in.

I didn't think this was possible, but on another thread on resale, a couple of people have said they got ROFR'd, made a counter offer for more money, and then got through.

Does anyone know whether that is still permitted? If so, chime in, because it would be a shame to see one of our partners in crime here go down for $1 per point if they have the option of countering.

Interested also to know this, because I was not given the chance but then again I barely gave Jason a word in edge wise when I found out and I wanted that BCV one before somone else got it!LOL

I know people have upped their ante prior to being ROFR but not after?

A bunch of us newbies passed ROFR last Thursday. Originally, I was told by the closing company that the DVC had 5 business days to sign off/prepare the estoppel papers and that we should close on 4/29. Today when I called to check on the progress, I was told to call back on 5/3 or 5/6 for an update. As a licensed Real Estate Salesperson in PA I'm used to dealing with written, binding closing dates.

Does anyone remember how long it took them to close after passing ROFR (using expedited service)? Yes, we're chomping at the bit to make that 1st reservation. Thanks.

Hi Keisha,
We used expedited service. Passed ROFR on March 10 and closed on March 30, and that was with wiring the money. Disney is not the only potential bottleneck. If your sellers don't execute the closing documents in a timely manner, that is more likely to slow you down that Disney. I think the closing company has to get the estoppel paperwork, then prepare the closing packages, then send them out to both parties, get them back, etc. It ain't quick, but I got the impression the closing company was doing everything they could to expedite things.

After closing, count on the full 10 days before being in the system.

When I first read of this issue being raised, I stepped back and thought maybe it will die in that particular thread, but since it didn't, here goes folks. A while ago, we gave the purchaser an opportunity to increase their purchase price after being ROFR'd. Disney stepped in and let us know in no uncertain terms that once they got involved, we as the Broker were to step out, as they had spent time and money researching their stance on that particular contract and the negotiations were OVER!!!

The most recent sellers tell us that when they contacted Disney about the possibility of DVC buying back their property and not going through the Resale process, they were offered $55 per point. Such a DEAL!!!

Do I agree with it? NO!! But you tell me what we're to do. How else are these DVC owners going to sell their property for any reasonable price if companies like ours are not available to help them.

I hope that working together, on this particular issue, we can somehow bring about a fair and equitable solution to the ROFR process.

We were able to counter-offer on our resale and made it through ROFR the second time around. But, that was a year ago and it was a FSBO. We actually changed the terms a bit and went with a lower price per point that resulted in a few hundred dollars more coming out of our pockets. I'm still shaking my head over that one.
