ROFR Discussion Thread

Between the higher pricing without being able to negotiate, the pushback, and having to use a specific title company for the reimbursement of points, it would be hard for me to use DVCRM as a buyer.

100% Not sure why so many make excuses for poor agent attitude either. Pair that with highest prices and forcing a title co its and go for me. But I understand I am the exception not the normal.

So, I was on another thread and I somehow looped my self into the county foreclosure page. I have never claimed to be a genius at math or the knowledge of dvc. But I have read enough on DIS that I could figure out who the owner was and look up what they owned for each foreclosure. I have to find the math thing that will tell how much .0254 means in points. There was small dollar amounts & larger amounts. If someone knows how to do this and can find if any back dues are owed, it could be a pretty good deal.
There were a lot of other timeshares being foreclosed on. Not as many Disney as I thought I would see. People either have a lot of deeds or they are the renters. That pops up too. One guy I was like wow.

There is a post here how to convert that, but it would take me bit to find it. If you don't figure it out ping me in 3 weeks and I will find it since its on my to do list anyway

I know DVCRM has the "missing points guarantee"...

shouldn't it come up through the title process or something that the points/contract isn't billed as advertised? I'm trying to figure out in practice what that would mean... if I was using one of the other brokers that didn't have that "guarantee"... how does that work?

They aren't the only broker with this guarantee. Other brokers don't force a title co on you either to have it. Maybe its slightly different but I have seen other brokers make good and pay out for missing points so in my eyes its just as good as DVCRM.

Some of us are just reporting that our experiences with some of those same people and brokers were not negative.

I have been in a situation with others who have viewed something completely differently than the rest of us.

Obviously, no one needs to use any specific broker if they don’t want to.

Fidelity was $25/point. Anyone know what DVCRM is?

Guess I’m the exception too. Sometimes it’s better to not follow the group lol.

I could be wrong, but I don’t believe Fidelity guarantees anything. Their contract does specify how much you’re entitled to from the seller if there are missing points but that does not obligate Fidelity to do anything. Now, they could step in as a gesture of good will - I don’t know if it’s them or other brokers, but there are stories of brokers other than DVCRM doing that. But, to my knowledge, only DVCRM advertises that guarantee (although have not seen the language they put in the actual contract).

I think you’re right that it’s the seller’s responsibility. But since it’s in a contract, it’s legally binding. Would probably be a mess, but hoping it would deter people at least.

Most reported cases get resolved in some way. There is at least one title company that holds the seller’s proceeds until the buyer verifies everything is correct.

I don’t know if they still do but with DVCRM, a buyer doesn’t need to worry about the seller having to refund because they step in and cover it.

I personally have closed with several title companies, and to be honest, my experiences and timelines were all similar.

But, as a buyer, if you are paying closing costs, you get to choose the title company you want and many here on the boards do have their favorites!
