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

So all the newbies stalking this thread, you can bid low and you can pass ROFR, but you have to be willing to gamble.

The key word is "gamble". I bid on a contract asking $10 lower than their asking price. They flatly refused with out a counter offer. They then accepted an offer $5 lower than their list a day later. I was planning on bidding low and going up too, but the opportunity did not arrive. So it is all a "gamble" and you never know what sellers will or will not accept.

Just checked and my points are loaded

So any of you who had contracts loaded over the weekend...your points should be there today.

So, my contract too 61 days from offer to access to points (letter should arrive in a week-10 days, so if you add that, it could be 71 days)...and ROFR only took 3 weeks. So, not super happy with the process this time around.

Do you have the wait for the letter to use the points or can you book now? I just passed yesterday so I'm trying to determine when I'll be able to book a trip.

You're not happy with a 61-day process? Why?

If you are already a member, the points will load into your account and you can use them as soon as they're loaded. If you're a new member, you'll likely have to wait until you get the letter because Disney isn't being very forthcoming with membership numbers over the phone anymore.

Search for your name as the grantee and either Disney or whoever you bought from as the grantor.

Ok cool... I only checked three times today

My contract is finally showing up today. No points yet, but from others posts, I assume I will have them by the end of the week.

Cool! We've been owners since last Thursday! I'd been searching the auditors website. Thanks for the help. Now for the paper in the mail!

And I have someone with my first and last name, right down to the same middle initial.

You're not happy with a 61-day process? Why?

Well, it's not really the 61 day process I am not happy with, just this whole process for this contract (the 6th one we've gone to ROFR on...it ranks 5th out of all for smoothness/ease/timeliness/deal= process...6th was the Fidelity contract that got cancelled 8 days into ROFR...1st was probably my March AKV add on and 2nd was with the same broker, our OKW initial purchase in 2006...3rd and 4th were at the same time and from the same sellers with TTS-no qualms with them, just not as friendly and willing to negotiate as my 1st-2nd broker). So, this last one was just not as smooth as my others (way too much e-mailing for me and lots of non-responsiveness, especially once it closed and I noticed the deed snaffoo). And we paid asking price for this contract (an only time for us out of the 6 contracts we've gone to ROFR on). I think I'm down to 2 brokers that I'll use in the future.

Booked my first reservation for our next two trips today!! I had to finagle around MS by sending in a request to add a password to my account but it worked and I was able to get my membership number before I received my number in the mail (probably will come by the end of the week.) We closed on 5/30.

I booked a OKW Grand Villa for 4 nights in November for my daughters 21st Birthday! NEVER thought I'd be able to get that. And then 2 nights before our cruise in January at AKV and 1 night at BLT upon our return! I was worried about availability but it has worked out perfectly!! Couldn't be happier

Total time from offer to booking (with a little cheating) 64 Days!

What is the explanation for the 45 days between ROFR and closing? That seems a little atypical.

Sellers were in England and had some problems finding a notary. At least that is what we were told. It took them a while to get them turned in.

Congrats on a great contract. My 175pt AKV loaded contract closed last Friday and showed up on the Register of Deeds website today. I also worked with Sharon at Fidelity and was very pleased with her. Just a word of caution; you are at the mercy of the seller to return their documents and in my case that turned into a 23 day ordeal. Hopefully your seller will be as anxious to get their money as you are to get points loaded. One think to look at is the date the contract was created and as I understand it, if either party does not fulfill their part of the contract in 60 days, they are in default and responsible for commission. Good luck and congrats again on a terrific contract.
