Gifting from a friend

[dcates]

We are relatively new to all things DVC. We have a close friend who is wanting to get rid of their contract and is willing to gift it to us. Can we submit the contract to go through ROFR without a broker?

You don’t need a broker but hiring a title company to do everything might be wise.

Yes we are definitely using a title company.

Our friend just got off the phone with DVC and they explained to her that since she is gifting it would just be a title transfer and not have to go through ROFR... does this sound accurate?

The seller just got off the phone with DVC and they explained to her both resale and told her that since she already has a buyer it could just be a title transfer and not have to go through ROFR... does this sound accurate? Would it be treated as a gift to family, etc.?

If you are buying it, it won't be considered a gift. Are you paying for the contract? DVC has resale value.

No they are gifting it to us.

No they are gifting it to us...I originally said "sell" as terminology usage.

what nice friends you got! If they are gifting it to you. Then no ROFR
