I’m still in disbelief!

Great to see!! I can't believe that almost every BLT contract lately has been taken! Finally one comes through!

 

[ScubaCat]

Just to add more info into the mix...

$165 50 PVB March 59/2019 50/2020, sent 3/22 passed 4/9

We paid more for the perfect fit. We’d been watching for awhile.

Also, our close date is 6/6 so doesn’t give much credence to close date having anything to do with what they look at first. Though I had zero doubts this would pass.

Alright, here we go! First timer.

$132-$43,150-320-BLT-Feb-0/18, 0/19, 318/20-sent 4/26

Fully expecting this to be taken.

So, so happy to pass ROFR on our third try for an AKV contract! Overpaid, I'm sure, but didn't want to lose this perfect one!

Grandma Minnie---$119-$14400-125-AKV-June-102/18. 128/19/125/20-sent 4/9, passed 4/26

Please reformat your strings with the link in post #1 so they can be added to the list.

Congrats on all the passes lately!!! And sorry for those taken.

We are ecstatic to finally have our BCV contract on our 3rd try. We are probably not in a position to buy any more points for awhile but hoping to still check in here as I feel bonded with you all, and it makes my heart happy to see others finding their Disney Homes!

Our process is not quite complete yet, so maybe I shouldn't post quite yet...but I did want to share that so far our experience with Fidelity and First American seems to be going well.

We went to ROFR on 4/3, passed on 4/22 (already posted in previous reply), received closing docs today (4/26), and mailed them back via FEDEX next day late this afternoon.

We purchased this contract through Shawn Ray with Fidelity and our First American representative is Alice Bann. Both have been extremely professional, responsive, friendly, and very expedient! We feel fortunate and thankful!

Sending positive vibes out to all of you too!

I believe they give a sheet with the $$$ amount that the "rookies" can immediately pass. Then they hold and sort those "on the fence".

That would make sense!

We already have a March UY at PVB and wanted just a few more points, so this was perfect. It was higher than we originally had in mind to pay when we first started looking but realized the difference was less than a long weekend would cost in cash so we just went for it.

I knew it would pass at that price though so I also paid for some peace of mind...

They probably looked at it, laughed, and stamped it to pass

Thanks for posting that info. We're going through Fidelity also. Still waiting for the contract to get sent to Disney though. We started this whole process on Monday so it's taken quite a bit longer than we expected so far. It's annoying that the wait for ROFR hasn't even started yet!

I am shocked but happy that you received your closing docs so fast from First American! It took us almost 4 weeks to get ours, also with Alice. Another poster it took them 7 weeks to get theirs, this was all within the past month. We have have since closed, but there was an error on the recorded deed so they have to go back and fix. Hope you have smooth sailing from here! Congrats on finally getting your BCV contract!

Mine was the one that took 7 weeks and it was working with the same two people that amytaylor6 used so go figure Communication was not a strong point with either Shawn Ray or Alice Bann So glad it worked better for you two

Hoping to add to our existing 100 direct points at PVB

 

[bebec22]

Great to see!! I can't believe that almost every BLT contract lately has been taken! Finally one comes through!

They seem to be taking anything $140/pt and below. My last attempt was $135 and was taken. I also recently saw a $140/pt taken. Still can’t believe they’re charging $225/pt for a direct purchase. That’s $80 a point more than I paid. I saved $16,000!!! There’s no perk except maybe a lifetime of free annual passes that would make me pay that price.

Hoping your process speeds up & you get a ROFR pass quickly, too! Best wishes!!

Thank you for the congrats! I am sorry to hear that yours took longer and had a few bumps but hope you are able to start making happy Disney memories soon!! I also hope ours continues to go smoothly. We have been trying since early January to get a BCV resale contract, so I am so thankful that we are finally getting close to having our points!

I am very sorry to hear that your experience was not good. I feel very fortunate...
Hopefully things are looking up for you now though!

We just lost 275 points at $85 a point at OKW to ROFR. We put a bid on another contract in. See how that goes. The ROFR process took 3 weeks.

Bebec22---$145-$29950-200-BLT-Feb-0/18, 4/19, 200/20-Delayed Closing- sent 4/9, passed 4/26

Glad too see that made it thru. I've got a listing(as a seller) with the Timeshare Store that is almost identical to that pointwise except mine is listed a little lower. Even has a delayed closing (mid June). So far I've not even gotten a nibble. I've also got a condo listed for sale (not Orlando) and a used car. The car and condo are both great deals but no offers on them either. Can't remember how long it took to get an offer when I sold OKW last year - but it ended up getting taken by Disney. I like to see contracts pass.

Not surprised but we were hopeful as it was a great contract for us. I'm just happy it was relatively timely and we didn't have to wait 45+ days like others on the board have had to.

On to the next contract...

Sorry to hear. AKV is a great DVC.

At least you heard quickly. Our AKV December contract is now on day 39 (submitted March 18). You’d think our $115 / point would be high enough to quickly pass.

Onwards.

Had to sell my small contract in February due to financials but made some decent money on an investment so we are back in it. Super excited!!

Thank you for maintaining this thread!

 

[Disney Doc07]

Trying this again, last one got taken and now I'm buying more points (probably more than I need) and paying a higher price per point
