It could be because the title company is charging them for e-notary. You can always suggest you will pay the e-notary fee and see if they will change to e-signing.

I’m not in a huge hurry, I’m guessing they’ll get it done quickly and. They have their own notary preference. The e-notary availability might have taken longer anyway, don’t they have to schedule an appointment for that?

Woohoo! Anyone know offhand how long it typically takes once we close to seeing points loaded into an existing DVC account?

Around 3 weeks +\- a few days.

I recently sold a contract via the board sponsor and the buyer used the title company they recommend (which is magic vacation title I think), between the e-notary and wire fees it was going to be almost $200 extra so I opted to do it the old fashioned way for both. Luckily my local bank does in person notary for free so it was easy to get an appointment.

Same experience, but I used UPS Store, which was super easy (great hours) and inexpensive too.

Trying yet again, I'm hoping $238 is high enough to avoid ROFR (even on loaded contract), because after 2 ROFRs I'm starting to get annoyed lol

Maybe the ROFR monster is done with VGC…. wait … is this the Intl seller?

Was also curious if it was international, but I think it’s was @cruisehopeful with an international that recently passed.

Maybe people aren’t clamoring for VGC direct as much now as they used too..

I just caught up on a few weeks of this thread and can I mention something that really annoyed me seeing some of the BLT prices...

First off I LOVE seeing the board members here get the lowest prices possible. The better the price the more excited we all get. However what annoys me is that during January, February and March I was putting in 115 and 120 offers regularly on BLTs and some of the brokers went so far as to CALL me on my phone (while I was at Disney no less!) to see if I was "for real" or just a joker. I will say Fidelity is the only one that has never put in their 2 cents about any of my offers.

So seeing these BLT prices actually are vindicating and I hope one of them was with the broker that called me on my phone to basically say don't call us we'll call you! (I'm serious I was on the Friendship boat back from HS and she wanted to see if I was "one of those" bidders. I'm like...IM AT DISNEY NOW! YES IM SERIOUS!)

I definetely think I could have gotten a better BLT contract had i been more informed

The good news is the price upfront makes up a small portion of overall cost and BLT has great dues which makes up most of the costs.

True! It wasnt terrible, but stripped def didn't make sense for me and it was overpriced for stripped, but at the time I didn't see many good deals either and didn't know that board sponsor was more expensive generally than other places, oh well live and learn!

And I feel that I could've gotten a slightly better one at SSR. Ain't it weird that even if you get one better than 90% of the contracts out there you're still sad that you didn't bag the unicorn

Wow...that's really shady of them! It would definitely make me not want to use that broker.

I've had some chastise me over the years via email. That I've come to expect. Once or twice the board sponsor did call but with a more "you must be new to this let me explain how making an offer on contracts works" tone. At which point I tell them I'm a bottom fisher and I leave my hook low to see if I can catch the big one...that I know full well how this works.

But yeah this one took me off guard. Was very aggressive in tone and even when I convinced her I was for real she basically told me let's make a deal where I don't send her any more offers and she'll call me if she sees something in my range. I was like ok sure fine...and so I mostly deal with Fidelity as that's who has always come through for me with the best prices and no guilty feeling. And trust me they've screwed up and annoyed me a few times but I still would rather deal with that anyday over being called on vacation to be told off while USING DVC points that I bought LOWER than going rate because that DOES happen! Sorry for the caps lol but I was taken aback that day and it kinda just resurfaced seeing the BLTs lower than what I was chastised for! Rant over back to your regularly scheduled ROFRing!

nope..he has done that for sure but no this was a different broker and a different lady. And no not the one who everyone thinks it is...she's actually been much better lately...but I still avoid her if I can.
