I did! The owners of my Boulder Ridge contract were original owners and had two daughters. One of the daughters grew up and went on to own a travel agency specializing in Disney. I thought that was super sweet and made me think that DVC grew her into a Disney adult
Yes, it somewhat distorts the market.
If you look on fidelitys site, there is no listing agent on those, for me that’s a giveaway for which ones are cross listed. Think they have some agreement to get more eyes on it and some commission split
Think about it from the perspective of a sophisticated commercial renter seller getting out: sure, the most savvy buyers user aggregators and know how the find all contracts, but they are looking for the new buyer willing to overpay for stripped contracts, so listing on more sites helps find one.
We had a discussion here about that a couple of months back. My theory is that some of the broker/renters perhaps needed to show that they had offloaded their contracts by a certain date to show good faith in drawing down on commercial renting. I'm pretty sure that the influx of Aulani at the broker you cite came from another broker (or brokers). Weird times. But honestly, it's anyone's guess. Clearly some business are trying to dump their Aulini holdings and also clearly the discussion between DVD and the really big commercial renters began to happen many months ago.
Agreed. But also, the AUL listings aren't the only contracts that aren't tied to a specific broker. There was a stripped contract yesterday (at a crazy price) for BLT (now gone) that was also without a broker. I've seen a handful of others in recent days show up. I thought some of this was due to ongoing changes/upgrades on their website, but again, who knows?
