The resale buying process can indeed be drawn out! Though you save money, you pay extra in time and frustration. I personally think it’s worth it, but there‘s always the option of buying direct. Or change brokers. You’re not going to be able to change the way the system operates.IT certainly got everyone's attention. The sellers are going to sign and send today. The title company shouldn't have put the July 5th. closing date on the documents without an explanation to the sellers. Yes, I changed my mind about SSR and I paid 2K for it, it doesn't make me defective - it was a mistake with consequences. The July points was iffy but that wasn't what was told to me over and over again by the resale agent. I certainly didn't think my May 2022 reservation would be compromised. I'm still waiting for Disney to give me my paid for points from my first contract. Such BS and a lousy opaque way to do business. I've put up thousands of dollars for nothing in return and no promise of when I might have use of the product. Just vague inconsistent timelines without any means of checking other than an email address that auto generates the 'promise' of a 10 business day reply.
I got my membership number and activation code exactly 2 weeks after. I called MS the next day and CM load my points

Pretty much bang on 3 weeks to pass like I've been seeing elsewhere on this thread. Any idea how long estoppel is taking now?
I called MS the next day after I received my new membership number (this last Saturday) and they loaded my point. I waited 35 min for them to answered. Additional 15 min to get my points. Another 30 min for them to help me reserved 3 days Dec tripAnyone able to quote the average time for Disney to create a new account? I have an account but this last resale has a different use year. This is affecting a reservation for July and one next year. It's been 2.5 weeks since docs were sent to DVD.
And for those keeping score my sellers STILL HAVE NOT DEIGNED TO SIGN my second contract all but assuring throwing away those 520 July points.
Yes probably for the best.After thinking all week I did cancel the contract. So back to the beginning, I’m thinking it was a sign to not buy at AKV. If anyone is looking there’s a new 180pt contract out there now.

Changing my strategy here, this one is risky but I think it has a chance.

Thank you both. From what I’ve read I thought what the broker has said was incorrect. I’ve informed them that unless the contract can go to Disney for ROFR immediately we would like our deposit back.
Seems silly to tie up a $2500 deposit for 4-5 months for something that will most likely be taken: AKV 100pt @ $105\pt.
I do recall a situation - several years ago now - where there was a delayed closing in the contract & DVC exercised ROFR & canceled the upcoming vacation.
Since DVC literally steps into the shoes of the buyer & contractually must honor all provisions in the contract they were in the wrong & recognized it & actually found a solution for the person who’s stay was canceled. Don’t remember all the details, but It was odd because it was the buyer who had rented the points from the seller for the stay, thus the closing was delayed for the buyer’s vacation - so initially they lost their vacation & their contract, but they ended up staying somewhere nicer as I recall.
That was a total one off mess up by DVC, and not the norm though from what I’ve read.
Good Luck. That's a great price!iceman3205---$143-$23286-150-CCV@WL-Dec-0/20, 300/21, 150/22- sent 6/2
Ok, here we go. This seems a lot more stressful the second time around (probably because I realize its not just the ROFR that can go bad). This time around I'm guaranteed $20 per point for any points that are wrong (that seems more inline with current rental market).
