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

[vascubaguy]

vascubaguy (and anyone else waiting for closing docs): I just received mine via email from Timeshare Closing Services, Inc. I passed ROFR 11 days ago. They told me to expect the docs within 2 weeks of passing ROFR and today is one business day short of that time period, so things seem to be on track.

I finally got my closing documents yesterday afternoon (2 weeks 4 days). I mailed everything out this morning so hopefully we'll close by end of next week.

 

[owtrbnks]

After 3 weeks resale agent just told us that our 130 pt contract for $77 pt at SSR was bought by Disney Wife doesn't want to wait for bad news again, we'll be buying SSR for $90 pt direct from DVC.
So I look at it this way: Resale:10010+475=10485/130=$80.65pt (no pts. til June 2006)DVC 14700-1200incentive=13500 -1500 (150 pts now for 2005, figure $10 pt.)=12000/150=$80pt.I'm sure someone can find fault with my reasoning, but I'll have my DVC Membership in a week!!!!!!!!!! And 2 more vacations before next June!

 

[vascubaguy]

Sorry to hear about the ROFR owtrbnks! But compared to that stripped down contract, I think you are probably better off with DVC. I did that same calculation and resulted in the same conclusion!

I know Beca mentioned something about being busy with moving stuff, so I figured I'd post the updated list and help out:

Sounds great to me! We stayed at SSR for 1 night in June at the tail-end of a BCV stay. We loved the location and the room. We had a great view of DTD too

[JT's World]

Here are the details from my contract for OKW that passed ROFR during the last week of July.

175 points, use year of June @ $76/pt

175 points available now

175 points available June 2006

Seller pays 2005 dues, I pay closing costs.

I figure since the seller pays the dues for the points that are available now, that is equivalent to getting the points for $72.14/pt if I had done the standard: buyer pay for the dues on points being transferred and the closing.

Nevertheless, it passed ROFR, I'm happy with the terms, and once we get through closing I can start making DVC reservations!

 

[fatherAZ]

Just had an offer accepted for a HH contract. Has half of the 04 points banked, all 05 point available at $68 per point. Buyer to pay closing costs and maintenance fees starting Aug 2005. I will not be surprised if Disney excercises their ROFR. We'll see once I send the contract in later this week. Any thoughts? Can someone please fill me in on the process from here. Thanks

Congratz on the offer being accepted! How many points and what use year? I'd guess you stand a pretty good shot at passing ROFR since you are paying the closing and prorated MN fees.

As for the next steps.... after you submit the initial contract and deposit (and the seller sends their portion) it will be submitted for ROFR waiver. That can take anywhere from 1 week to 30 days. If they exercise ROFR then that's it, no more steps. You'll get your deposit back from escrow (unless you decide to leave it there for the next contract attempt). If they do waive ROFR, then the title company will proceed with the title search and request the estoppel letter to confirm the account (available points, any MN fees due or other fees on the account). That can take 2-3 weeks. Then you will get the final closing documents (most likely via email) to sign and return along with the final payment. When they receive the closing documents from the buyer and seller, they will close within a couple of days and then notifiy Disney to transfer ownership. From that point it could take 4-10 days to get in the DVC system and up to 30 days to get your membership packet. (However, all of these steps have been going a bit quicker in the past few weeks from what I've been hearing - the only exception being the estoppel letters).

HTH and here's some !!!

 

[jnrrt]

fatherAZ,

If you have the buyer paying all those fees, the chances of your ROFR will be significantly improved because it would cost Disney nothing to take those points. If you want it, I would consider paying for some of the fees. That looks like a very good contract to me.

Congtraz on getting the 297 points! I think it sometimes depends on their waitlist. If they have someone on the list waiting for a particular UY and a certain number of points, if you happen to bid on a contract that fits one of their members needs and they can turn a profit on it, they'll take it and sell it themselves.

What UY did you get on these contracts? did they have any '04 or 05 points?

Thanks and I'll add you to Beca's list!

Sorry, just realized my last post made no sense. I read "buyer", I typed "buyer", but I was thinking "seller". Just ignore me.

It is a 210 pt contract, April use year (300 available now --90 from 2004 and all 2005). Price is 68/pt and Buyer to pay all closing costs and MN fees from Aug 2005. Seemed like a good deal to me. Initially we were going with SSR (longer contract, on Disney grounds) or Boardwalk (location!) but we figured we could buy 30-40 more points for the same initial investment and just slightly higher MN fees. It seems Disney has been buying back HH at 66-68/pt and no points so I am a little nervous about paying 68/pt and having so many pts available. Appreciate the comments about buyer paying closing costs, hope this works to our advantage!

Just received an email from Timeshare Closing Services stating that my contract closing is complete and will be sent to Disney today. I was advised that it could take 10 days for Disney's files to be updated. I have a question for Tom or anyone else who can answer. Since I am not a new DVC member, should I be expecting a FedEx package from Disney? The reason I ask is because we will be on vacation for a week later this month and FedEx requires a signature for deliveries from Disney. I would hate to miss something important that may be sent to me. Thanks for any info you may be able to give me.

My info from Disney did NOT arrive via FedEx. I don't think Disney uses FedEx for this purpose...too pricey. Ours arrived in a plain old white oversized envelope. No worries about having to be home to receive a FedEx package! Hope this helps......

You might want to contact MS tomorrow and let them know it is coming. From what I've been hearing there has been pretty quick turn-around on getting this put in the system. They might could tell you if it has been entered already... and if not maybe they can put a note to either send it via regular mail or hold from sending it for a couple of weeks.

Our 150 point VB June contract passed yesterday! There were no banked points and we are paying $65.00. It was submitted 7-22-05. We just got back from our first in a Beach Cottage. We loved it. Last year we bought a 350 pt VB contract at $70.00 right before the hurricanes hit. Our first attempt on VB was ROFR at $68.50. We used the Timeshare store for the third time and just love Pat Spell!

Congratulations and Welcome Home, VB neighbors! One day we too will enjoy a Beach Cottage!

Is there any way when posting selling price that the sellers/buyers can include the particulars?

Who is paying closing?
Who is paying MF's (if any)

This does make a difference to the bottom line deal.

I also wanted to see if Disney is indeed snatching up contracts where the sellers is paying closing and maintenance more frequently. This does not make sense to me for them to do this but I have read that they have been doing this lately and wanted to see.

Thanks
