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

That's who I chose was First American. Like I said I'm in no big hurry for once haha.

I used them as well for my AUL closing. They were ok but didn’t provide regular updates. I’ve come to realize I’m just spoiled when it comes to Cammy and Mason Title. It’s too bad Mason doesn’t do Hawaiian properties.

They’ve handled a bunch of Aulani contracts for me, and actually did a fine job. No horror stories from me.

 

[HIRyeDVC]

UGH my Aulani closing is requiring lots of printing, ink signatures, and a notary. Is this a Hawaii thing or is it the title company?

It’s a title company thing. I used time share title co and everything was smooth and fast with no ink and paper whatsoever.

International seller?

 

[Stargazer65]

I was talking to a resale sales broker yesterday and I mentioned I had a contract in ROFR (I pronounced it "AR-OH-EF-AR"). Later in the conversation he said something like "good luck with the contract in ROFR" (He pronounced it "ROW-FER").

So all this time have I been mispronouncing it? Are people pointing at me and snickering behind my back?

How? Why? We will probably never know lol

Nope- which is why I will continue bidding at the low prices I want to pay and hope they sneak through (since I do have enough points to play with for now and am not in dire need).

No, I noticed on the DVC Fan vlogs that sponsor company reps have been pronouncing it ROWFER when I had been saying it the same a you. I switched pronunciations because ROWFER is easier to say.

Were you here for the Use/Use Year debate?

Is it "Yooze Year," as in "the year in which you use your points" or "yoose year," as in "the year in which you have use of your points"?

I've always said yoose, but Sean Falk says yooze, as does one line in the Member Services hold spiel.

 

[Chia1974]

Interesting. All I have ever heard is to avoid this but in my head, since we travel all year and can travel from a 4-5 hour driving distance I am wondering if this wouldn’t give us more flexibility

This works well if you use each UY as a standalone trip. Or if you enjoy split stay like us.

I always say "Yooze Year", because I figure it refers to the Year that all Yooze folks use your points. So I might ask someone, "My UY is June, what is yooze year?"

I feel this is a Meyer Briggs board equivalent. ’Oh hi, I’m a R.O.F.R-Yoose-Theme‘

Could it be because you are in the state of Hawaii? The way First AM explained it to me was because I was out of state/country. Not sure if that's true... but why wouldn't First Am use docusign for AUL when they use it for all other closings?

 

[MinnieSueB]

First American actually was pretty good with our contract that closed in April. Cammy is still supreme and first choice!

Rowfer really bothered me at first. It should be Rofr if it's going to be pronounced that way. Even Nasdaq took the care to down-style its asdaq after being NASDAQ for many years.

But Rowfer does make it easier to remember what the letters stand for. We've all seen FROR and you know that's not right. I probably still "read" ROFR as "right of first refusal." I don't think I'd ever say Rowfer.

I'm fully committed to Yoose Year tho.

 

[pianomanzano]

Must be a slow morning if we're debating ROFR and UY pronunciations lol

Good luck to all those waiting, hopefully you hear something soon!
