Sometimes I feel only the "killer" deals, price wise, get posted here. Although, even at this price I was very sorry to let this go, but trying to get all my contracts into one Use Year to make it simpler for my kids someday.

Anyone have any insight into the wildly different time spans it takes for some contracts to clear ROFR? Is it just random? Possibly related to which broker / title company is used?

I signed two contracts — one at BWV was sent on 2/2 and passed on 2/25. The second at WL/BRV (using a different broker and title company) was sent three days later on 2/5 and….crickets. That broker says she has a stack of 6 on her desk that are over 50 days. Reviewing this list, there really aren’t many that old still waiting for a decision.

I’d love to know if anyone has any insight into whether there is a rhyme or reason behind it. Also wondering if the process taking 3x (!!!) longer is any indication of our odds of passing?

I agree with this and I think there is inaccuracy with the actual total price people pay. I got confused because the system originally didn't let me put the actual price of me paying 2024 and 2025 annual dues and people probably omit the closing costs sometimes too (not on purpose, just dont know exact costs, how to add everything up, etc.. My latest update included completely accurate pricing but I feel some people won't bother with adding it all up and being accurate, plus no one wants to brag they got a bad deal

Broker and title company a big difference on overall speed. We really don't know when they send it to ROFR except based off of what they tell us so it's important to have good ones. I do believe www.dvcresalemarket.com and fidelityrealestate.com sent mine to Disney at the time they told me. Most do this the same day or one day after contract signing.

Www.dvcresalemarket.com sent ours same day and it took longer to hear back from ROFR. Two different resorts, one month apart, the January baylake one took 26 days and the February akv took 23 days.

I think it's just how backed up Disney is that month and rarely things do fall thru the cracks, there was one date people had sent where Disney dropped the ball and skipped that day.

Magic title had our closing docs sent to us lightning fast before we even knew we had passed ROFR, this would have made for a super fast closing had the sellers not dragged their feet. Mason took four days which has inevitably delayed things but the notary service super awesome and sellers dragging their feet once again.

It's like buying a house, there are so many different variables and so many ups and downs, some agents and title companies are faster, etc. My title agent at Mason told me the delay in getting closing docs was because Www.fidelityrealestate.com wasn't giving her some info she needed. Dvcresalemarket.com and magic work efficiently as a team, but the notary process is archaic especially for international sellers. There's definitely good and bad to everything! I would use each of these companies again, but I would lean toward Mason for the free fast notary services!

Actually I would do any of those resale agents again next time in tandem with dvcclosings.com . From what I've seen on here, Cammie seems top notch and they seem to have the fastest closings I've seen in the industry.

Great prices on these small contracts! Good to see they are still about the same price as the one I got last year.

Looks like you did great - assuming you wanted a June Use Year I like a little padding in my first contracts, so I have some to bank, but if I'm not going for a bit, a contract with few until 2026 works too. Congrats!!

If you are not buying AKL or VGF at a big discount or a lot of banked points, should not be much concern anyway. I was told the broker does not send it to ROFR, the Escrow company does that - who is your escrow with and maybe others here can put you more at ease on the timing. You should definitely follow up with Escrow and ask them to confirm it was sent.

I’ve wondered about this! I had an experience where things didn’t get sent to ROFR once and I have not used that escrow company or broker since, because I didn’t know who was at fault.

Mason took four days which has inevitably delayed things but the notary service super awesome and sellers dragging their feet once again.

And to talk about the sometimes randomness of it all again, I have had the exact opposite experience with my last two purchases. Two years ago at the same time of year Mason had the closing docs to me one day after ROFR and it was fully executed within three days. This time it's been a week since the delayed ROFR and still not a word from Magic.
