ROFR Thread January to March 2021 *PLEASE SEE FIRST POST FOR INSTRUCTIONS & FORMATTING TOOL*

[Sara Sharpe]

Wanted to update everyone that I had a great conversation with Mary at Fidelity today. She is the VP of sales. She shared that due to Covid they lost a lot of staff and suddenly when January hit their sales have been through the roof. They are trying to hire, but we all know how that goes. She apologized for the lack of communication and promised improvement. They also waived by $195 admin fee. Shortly afterwards, my broker called to apologize as well! She promised to do better moving forward! Just wanted to post the positive from today! It's crazy for all of us right now, some more than others due to Covid etc. It was a good reminder for me to show grace and empathy

Glad to see you had a slightly positive experience. Today was the last day for me to close my contract. I'm fed up with them that tomorrow I will be contacting them to refund my deposit. I will call the real estate commission if I have to. They would have ghosted me for 75 days had I not called the head broker's personal phone for an hour straight until I got an answer.

Edit: And yes I know its super annoying and slight "******"ish but when its my money and you don't respond to emails and phone calls I had no choice but to go extreme.

That's great to hear that they want to get better. But the reality is that they most likely let go their staff due to slow sales and now when sales are picking back up, they are having issues. I understanding giving them some slack, but several members have been having terrible service from them. The good news is that it cant get much worse, so it can only get better.

We're on the west coat, so easier to get to Disneyland and we love the Grand Californian. The contract we purchased a few months ago was also for VGC.

I fought him tooth and nail but he insisted we needed more points @ VGC.
So few small-ish VGC contracts (that aren't June) - and it's our UY - it was the unicorn we've been looking for!
Yes expensive cost per point ($240!) but part of that is offset with double points.
and (knock on wood) should ensure it makes it past the ROFR monster.

Nice!! Double points balance it out a bit!

I have 80 feb UY points at VGC I didn’t realize it was rare. I bought them directly years ago at $120 a point. I never use those anywhere but there, it’s such a great resort and we went there on our honeymoon when the hotel first opened with California adventure park, so it hold a special place for us.

Small update on my ccv contract that was submitted to ROFR on 12/24. At some point, Disney asked for a death certificate and they are claiming that to be reason for the delay. I was told it was supplied immediately when the request was made. Agent hopes to hear something any day.

It looks like AKV is taking about 14 days to pass. I was told that Disney really isn't buying up AKV right now so anything over 90 p.p should be safe. Oddly, they are focusing more on Saratoga Springs.

We are 6 days in on a 210pt contract for $108 per point. I sure hope you are right!!

If you check out www.DVCstats.com you will see it all. No AKV contracts have been taken and they pass as low as 108 p.p. that I was able to see. There was a ridiculous spike a little while ago on contracts taken but quite a few were BWV. You can see wait times too. Recently, some contracts have passed in a little over a week and AKV passes quite quickly compared to others. Like I said, I don't think Disney is interested in AKV right now.

One week in on our first ROFR. Trying to be patient, but its hard. Still watching other contracts with ‘21 points (knowing I will need to borrow for May ‘22 trip) at comparable prices and better UY for spring vacations.

They took my AKV 3 weeks ago fyi.

What was your offer? So far, everything with at least a 100 p.p or more offer at AKV hasn't been taken. They are passing mostly with at least 108 for the most part. I put in 110 which has been passing.
