Didn't pass ROFR today

It sounds like you bought from a disreputable company. Any of the companies we recommend here on the boards all know how to advise us. They can't guarantee Disney won't buy back, but they sure wouldn't tell anyone that $70 is a good price!! Maybe $73 will pass but it just doesn't seem to me like you're working with someone who knows what they're doing. Did you buy through the same company a second time? Remember...the disreputable brokers still gets paid their commission whether DVC gets it or you do! If Disney buys this one back, you've lost twice and the broker has been paid twice. I'd suggest you cancel if you're within 10 days and buy through one of the companies that actually gives a hoot about you and not about their pocketbook!

I'm not positive about this, but I believe any realtor has an obligation to present all good-faith offers they receive to the seller. While they may advise on pricing of an offer if asked, I don't believe they can screen out legitimate offers and not offer them to the seller.

If the seller is comfortable with the price, it doesn't matter where the money comes from -- the realtor has to submit it. The fact that someone gets ROFR'd is not an indication that the realtor is disreputable.

I hate to see people get ROFR'd, and I especially hated to see it happen to Dave, but it's not the realtor's fault.

We bought a 50 point add on direct from Disney not too long ago.

Nothing against TTS (we bought our orginal contract from them), but on a small contract, by the time you add on the closing cost and waiting 2-4 weeks the difference was about 300 bucks. Plus we got 50 banked points when we bought so we did well.

We did the same thing. 87 points at BWV. If you added closing costs to what the BW resales were going for it ended up being 300-400 more to purchase through Disney (plus we got 2005 points), and to us it wasn't worth the hassle. We just called our guide, told her how many points we wanted and where and two weeks later, viola.

Nothing against resales (we also inquired at Timeshare Store), but for a small contract it just seemed easier not having to worry about ROFR etc.
