Good Faith Deposit to Jeffrey C. Sweet

[TexasChick123]

I bought my first BLT contract through them.

Vacatia is a vacation rental company. Are you buying a DVC contract from them? Didn't know they were also a broker.

I have purchased from them before.

Your contract should have given you the information for the amount and who it's made out to for the good faith deposit.

This is through Vacatia and I've been dealing with two individuals there. I believe one is more of a real estate broker and the other seems to be the assistant. It's the assistant who told me to send the $1000 good faith deposit via a blank check or money order to Jeffrey C. Sweet. I responded that I was hesitant to send a blank check to anyone through mail and had made the check out to Jeffrey C. Sweet, Attorney at Law, and the assistant responded that it was fine to do so, but without further explanation. So maybe a little miscommunication? I'm glad I knew the amount was $1000 and have worked with several dvc resale brokers to know that this seemed a little weird.

But thank you all for answering today.

I’ve used him for one of my closings and I think he did a much better job than the one that was used for my other closing. They did request a $1,000 personal bank check or Money Order. I’m guessing it’s a communication issue and the assistant meant to ask for “bank” check and not a “blank” check.

Are you sure she didn't mean "bank" check and not "blank" check?

I'm thinking you're correct. Ours had to be wire or bank check.

That's something that spell check would never highlight and is probably what was meant.

I’m probably just repeating something others have said, but Jeffrey Sweet is legit. He was the attorney used by DVC resale market when I bought my DVC contract. His paralegal is very responsive and everything went smoothly.

He accepted a personal check when we purchased, though it was several years ago and through a different broker

I also wrote a personal check.
