ROFR Thread Jan to March 2022 *PLEASE SEE FIRST POST FOR INSTRUCTIONS & FORMATTING TOOL*

[Chia1974]

When people talk about ROFR and closing date...specfially that Disney needs at least 30 days to review the contract, is that 30 calendar days or 30 business days?

Calendar days. It feels like 300 days. It could take anywhere from two weeks to?. I had a contract took 8 weeks to pass because seller’s error with available points.

Inquiring minds want to know, does anyone know Why Disney does not usually take those? Is it higher risk to send the purchase funds offshore, or?

Could it have something to do with the lack of timeshare authority in those regions? I can't purchase direct unless I'm within USA.

 

[Flynn's Gal]

Is it common that if most of the 2022 points are there that they ask you to pay those maintenance fees? Haven't those already been paid by now? (Or soon enough and probably should have been by the time it closes?) The agent had messaged me that maintenance fees for 2022 was another $1100+ (for an offer just submitted) and I thought that would have been paid for by now...unless they are trying to recoup.

You might just be reimbursing the seller. That is what we had to do.

Same here

That is about right for a VBR price IMO! Great job!

Do you know if a broker is requesting a deposit for escrow and they let you use a CC for it, is there a fee for that? Is it charged as a cash advance, etc.

I've never heard of a Broker (or Title company) charging. Usually can use a CC for up to $5K. At least thats the max with Mason Title. I only use Mason so cant speak for other Title companies. It's the title company that collects the escrow deposit.

 

[LadybugsMum]

I've used TRCS and Magic Vacation Title and both allowed the deposit to be put on a CC. TRCS only charged $1500 even though 10% was more, but Magic Vacation Title charged the full 10% deposit.

 

[MICKIMINI]

Mason does allow 5K. On Chase it shows as "services". As the buyer, you choose your title company!

First American offers lower closing cost VS Mason. If I have a choice I’d chose lower closing cost.

NOT NEW..

UPDATING the final cost of this one per my actual closing fees vs. the estimate. Not really sure what happened. It's about $200 more than initially estimated. It does include 2022 dues tho.

Feelin it too. Just sent one in yesterday for BWV. Fully loaded. We had budgeted and were readying ourselves for a direct contract that was locked-in at the 'old' pricing, then this came across our laps. If it falls through....

TrixiMouse---$150-$32540-200-BWV-Feb-0/21, 400/22, 200/23-International Seller- sent 01/21/22

Disney usually waves international contracts.

We were holding out for VGF2, but thought this was a solid deal.

Mason>First American

And well worth the $80 extra, or whatever it is.

 

[DKZB]

I’ll pay for great service any day. Being cheap tends to cost me more time in the long run. Mason has always been great and I’ve heard less than stellar reviews of other title companies. I think you often get what you pay for. Just my $0.02

 

[DisNerd1984]

On our 75 point they offered to switch to a title company of our choice vs First American and I am regretting not moving this contract over to Mason where our other is. Mason has been extremely communicative after we passed ROFR, crickets from First American

 

[poofyo101]

Its also not very much money. Seems like masons estimate is always higher than what it actually is.
