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

[Klinger13]

Our message said we would get closing documents in 3-4 weeks. Does it normally take this long? On the "Closing Time" thread it seems like a pretty quick turnaround after ROFR passes.

Congratulations!! I passed ROFR 3/29 & I’m still waiting to receive my closing docs , so it can take a bit. Others seem to get theirs right away. Hope yours come quickly!

i can't believe you are still waiting for closing docs! have you checked in with your agent?

I did, just this week. She said she’s working on them. There was a discrepancy in the paperwork with the seller’s middle initial (at first she asked me which initial was correct and I was like, um, I’m the buyer. ) Hopefully I see some movement!

I still have trouble with GFV. GF in my head = "gluten free." I really have to force myself to read it as Grand Floridian.

Put the V first - VGF. The name is Villas at Disney's Grand Floridian so maybe that will help.

I was told for a Florida DVC resale purchase, the buyer doesn't need to have anything notarized. But the seller does require a notary so that could also be a delay. Not sure of Hawaii rules.

"Usually" doesn't take that long, but I know Hawaii has different time share laws than Florida so the time frames can be different. I don't own Aulani, just going by what I've read.

Maybe they do it on "island time."

 

[Klinger13]

No idea why my quote isn’t working but @dboules, mine is SSR so no Hawaii rules for me.

I passed on 3/22 and finally UK seller sent out their notarized document today after they got Covid. I won’t send the final payment until everything is ok. I’m going to Disney next week. Looks like we’ll wait longer than original closing date.

Pens Fan---$160-$30005-175-CCV@WL-Sep-0/21, 295/22, 175/23- sent 3/11, passed 4/13

After losing 2 stripped contracts at $160 and $161 where the seller was paying 2022 MF's we tried a loaded one at the same price but with us paying MF's. It worked!!

I'm so happy. We have two more in at $165 so I'm feeling pretty good about those. I think we've found the the CCV sweet spot (for now, anyway).

Good luck to everyone that's still waiting.

A nice message to wake up to this morning. I know the general consensus is that they don't take back Aulani, but it seems like eventually they would want to take the subsidized contracts back. I was pretty sure this would pass, but worried they'd start the ROFR Aulani trend with my contract.

I passed on 03/24/22 and am still waiting for closing documents. Hawaii takes longer was the excuse I received as well even though I saw other Aulani examples on the closing time thread get their documents much faster.

I think it really depends on the motivation of the sellers and the efficiency of the title company. I recently closed on an AUL sub contract. The seller and I are both Honolulu residents but our title company was in Pennsylvania. The seller was able to get their closing docs notarized and returned in 6 days. At the same time, another buyer dealt with a Hawaii resident seller who worked with a Honolulu based title company and it took a lot longer. Go figure.

What resort will you buy direct?

Sorry for the lag. Riviera, since we bought direct. My son is looking forward to inheriting if needed

Plus I needed to book Christmas sooner rather than later. We might try another resale contract at some point in time.

Bummer. Thanks for letting me know. I guess I'll just prepare to do more waiting. It's all worth it. I just want to be able to log in and poke around.

I'm guessing since the sellers took ten days to return their contract in the first place to get the ROFR process started, their motivation is low. I'm expecting them to take forever for the notarization process as well.

We're still with you with the same date. Now at day 30. Ugh this is pure torture.

Also day 30 and my agent just said “thank you for your patience”.

Congrats neighbor! Nice contract - yep, this sure looks like the sweet spot for CCV right now.

They should rethink that subject line.

Has anyone seen any Aulani subsidized available? If you do, can you message me? It's so tedious to have to look in the details of every single listing to see if the dues are subsidized. I've given up on trying for OKW and SSR, so thought maybe I'd try to find a subsidized AUL.
