ROFR Thread April to June 2022 *PLEASE SEE FIRST POST FOR INSTRUCTIONS & FORMATTING TOOL*

[MinnieSueB]

With Fidelity and First American Title, how long are people waiting between finding it they made it through ROFR and actually having closing documents to sign? Thank you!

We were with Fidelity & 1st American Title and actually they were faster than I was anticipating:
Passed ROFR: 3/28
Docs Received: 4/4

I still prefer Cammy at Mason but 1st American actually was decent this go around

Yea sorry I was just doing a quick lookup on my phone and missed those 80 extra points. Just confirmed with my wife that she want’s to wait a few years on other properties. We are still in VGC purchase mode and I need to keep my funds together to make another offer soon. I see a 400 and 320 point contract I’m tempted to play chicken with

i found it! it's actually even more, 480 points. I was looking for a new listing but it's over a month old but newly modified. Someone will be so happy - my money is on Captain America buying it for $90 pp

Good luck trying to get rid of that down the road! 480 points is difficult enough never mind at Aulani which will take ages to sell out.

I may be the only Aulani Nay-Sayer still left but, despite hearing that the resort is gorgeous, availability is decent at 7 months and not having an 11 month window at WDW makes it really hard to justify for SAP. I feel like I'm the only one left with a hard no for AUL!

 

[HappyThoughtsTees]

I need one of you guys to buy the $95 Aulani at Fidelity please. I can't do June UY and it's bigger than I need.

I offered 75/p, they weren't having it.

So I should offer $70/p just to make yours look good?

Oh I started at 70/p...75/p was my counter to their first rejection . That contract is a beast, buying it for anything over 80/p is unreasonable.

It’s a shame that Disney doesn’t advise buyers not to buy such a large contract in one chunk. We bought 300 VGF direct this year but broke it into 3 pieces, with the largest being 150 to make it easier and more profitable to sell if we chose to down the road. I guess most people don’t think of selling when they’re buying but the cost of “insurance” is relatively low given cost of purchase.

Yup, 80/p wouldn't be bad but dang 480 points and that's still a LOT of money!

We're going to get a reputation where the dealers won't do any business with "those a-holes from the ROFR thread."

For direct purchases do they allow you to get the discounts for buying let's say 300 points but do it in 3 100 point contracts?

I'm guessing this wisdom also holds for resale contracts. Might be worth it to pay a bit more per point (and more in closing costs) to have more flexibility to sale the smaller contracts in the future?

Yes, but you have to pay 3x closing costs.

I consider anything up to 200 points pretty sellable. It's worth a per-point premium over something like 400+, but I don't think the points premium on 50 point contracts is worth it.

Yes Disney allowed me the same discount after breaking up 300 contract into 3,l as I would have gotten for 1, although I did have to pay some additional closing costs.

But, Disney certainly didn’t offer this option to me. I had to ask.

Another stripped contract bites the dust! We're selling off our 2042 stripped OKW contracts so two left to go. This is our second OKW 2042 contract ROFR'd by DVC . We'll continue to add on OKW 2057 and AKV resales and can't wait for the new Poly LOL!

Should have offered more as we were looking for a small contract that matched our use year.

uh, speak for yourself. I for one think am a very pleasant and likable individual.....

 

[HIRyeDVC]

I think you can negotiate this down to $60 IMO. Could also be the first time Disney exercises ROFR on Aulani. Can someone please make an offer?! The possibilities are killing me.

Eeeeeekkkkkk I’m waiting on a OKW(E) 60 point contract at $138pp this is making me nervous about passing. Seeing all the OKW 42 contracts taken is fine but an extended one yikes.
