ROFR Thread July to Sept 2018 *PLEASE SEE FIRST POST FOR INSTRUCTIONS & FORMATTING TOOL*

Thanks for replying. You're absolutely right that treating it as a strict business transaction and removing the time pressure is the way to go. Continue to mbrace the inner puppy peddler, I will

I know no shame in my offers. I stick firm at my bottom line if it the seller says no I’m not upset or emotional I just look for the next one. If it’s still on the market in a week I keep at it. Then you just need to get lucky with ROFR

That's ok. The mouse would've taken that anyway. Mostly because there is a flag on your name that runs a "DO NOT WAIVE" script.

You should be collecting a commission... unless you already ARE, JERRY. A DVD mole. A living warning to those wanting to test the floor.

I was kind of wondering last night it who pays the closing costs makes a difference as to which ones Disney takes. I mean, are they more likely to take ones where the seller pays the closing costs vs the buyer paying. I know there's really no set formula, but it's just one of my things that my brain thinks of at 2 in the morning when I can't sleep.

Bummer on BLT bit great for CCV!

You sound like me at 2 am in the morning! My guess on “if who pays closing cost make a difference” is no....if they have a need for points and it’s within their magic formula they take the contract as who pays closing costs doesn’t factor into the equation since it is between buyer and seller.

 

[CatNipRules]

I’m kind of the opinion that I’m going to make an offer that is within my budget and hope that it makes it past the ROFR.

If the one that currently have an offer in for gets taken I’ll try for another one. It will stink, but it just means that it wasn’t meant to be. I’m still hoping that it will pass though.

 

[DisneynBison]

Yes it’s so true! Saw a few « reduced » lately. Mine was send today 100$ pp

I am nervous, know they will take it but it’s my first try...

Its a crap shoot it looks like yesterday and today at AKV There was a $98, 100, 104, 105, 110 and 116. That all were recorded and passed ROFR about a month ago.

Disney really doesn't like the foreign contracts if you have the time to wait for the usually longer close.

It was worth a short at that price in this market! Sorry that one didn't make it through.

I agree. I never cared what the broker's opinion was on my offer. I had a price in mind for each contract that I thought was fair, and that was my max. I did some calculations to see what my max would be on each contract based on the length of the contract, how long I planned to hang onto it, and, of course, the amount of points currently available in the contract. Also keep in mind that $1-2pp on a smaller contract isn't that much more money as a buyer. Don't be pennywise and dollar foolish if there is one you really want and it matches your needs. On the other side of that coin, don't overpay unless you really really need those points? Honestly, who ever needs vacation points?

To the pp who asked about whether or not Disney cares about cc being paid by the buyer or seller, of course they care. It goes into their calculations. Also, if the seller is paying cc, and Disney exercises ROFR, then the seller is paying Disney those cc because one of Disney's subsidiaries becomes the title company. It's just another way for them to capture a profit.

Ah. Stab me in the heart. I started off trying to get this in early-mid June. The seller was asking for $105. I personal raised the offer to $107 and then, on second thought, to $108, specifically in order to avoid ROFR. IT DIDN'T WORK!! I am unhappy and frustrated. This was the perfect size for me and I thought the price I offered would pass ROFR.

Oh well.

Just got an idea, I'm going to check the rofr thread to see "what Jerry would have done" before making offers from now on.

Haha, it's not shame that's the problem. DH sends me in alone on our business negotiations because I embarrass him with my shamelessness. But impatience... Never had this much trouble spending a budget before.

I get it now. I have to turn it into a sport, not just an annoying inconvenience.

Sorry that didn't pass. Great deal again!

It’s always nerve racking when you see contracts submitted after yours get accepted and you still haven’t heard anything
