We considered selling our BWV to buy a bigger contract. If we did I’d give the broker my asking price and say we are not interested in anything under 10% less. Because that’s the lowest price I’d part with it. Too low of a price and I’d be better off just adding another small contract.

It would be different if we were looking to exit DVC, but I can see ours a common case for when brokers know the seller isn’t interested below a certain price.

Unfortunate, but not really surprising.

Yeah the surprising part is how much VGF direct is selling without incentives when Poly is in active sales!

As someone who has sold several, I did give parameters to the brokers as to what to actually present and not and what counter they were allowed to offer a buyer.

My guess is I am not unique in that. So, there may have been offers I never got because I didn’t want them.

My feeling is that sellers and buyers get to decide what they want and I don’t begrudge either side.

The key as a buyer is to find a seller who thinks the same for pricing as you and as a seller, the opposite.

It never took me more than 2 weeks to sell or buy.

That's fair, and I would probably feel the same way as a seller.

This agent just really rubbed me the wrong way and it left a sour taste in my mouth. I think I assumed the worst

Not your fault by any means. At the end of the day how people speak and sound can leave someone feeling like they weren’t treated the best. So they really could have made the interaction more personable where you walked away saying “hey that wasn’t the right contract but I wouldnt mind working with this agent/broker in the future” A little bit goes a long way in sales.

Coming in late but worked with an agent at ****************** on an offer I had rejected. Had it countered before it was eventually rejected. Forget the agent’s name as I deleted the emails, but was super professional and easy to work with. So yes, how you’re treated goes a long way as I would consider working with this company again.

Couldn’t agree more. There are 2 brokers which I refuse to present an offer to because of how they responded to offers/questions in the past. Others have been wonderful to interact with.

DVC doesn’t need to incentivize VGF. It sells itself. I’m not ashamed to admit we recently paid a premium for direct VGF points. It’s our favourite resort so we decided it was worth the extra $$$

When it comes to DVCRM, or any broker for that matter: I don't think it is worth completely ignoring them as a buyer, because not all sellers are the same. This is even moreso if you don't feel the need to get the absolute bottom-of-the-market price, but can be happy with something that is still a very good deal in the context of the overall market.

Then DVCRM is doing their sellers a disservice. I can’t imagine that I’m the only buyer who won’t deal with them entirely because of past “customer service” when trying to put in an offer lower than asking. I honestly don’t care anymore if it’s a perfect contract for me, if it’s listed with DVCRM I skip it and move on. I’d rather pay more or wait longer to be able to deal with someone else as a broker. Very happy with our current preferred broker, just signed on a third (maybe fourth?) resale in a row with them because they are just a pleasure to deal with.

Editing to add that I understand that some sellers may have instructed the broker not to forward lower than asking offers, but as a broker there’s a right and wrong way to convey that info to a potential buyer. Snippy and rude is not that way. But as always, YMMV.

It will be entertaining to see how the future https://dvcfan.com/ forum lights up when https://www.dvcresalemarket.com/ is brought up

Not going to bash DVCRM, but I completely skipped anything listed by them. I guess the offers I looked at were “red hot deals” but not being able to negotiate was a HUGE turnoff. Seems like their customer service is in line with this as well.
