ROFR Thread July to Sept 2022 *PLEASE SEE FIRST POST FOR INSTRUCTIONS & FORMATTING TOOL*

[KPeterso]

This is me too. I have no issue if I was contacted by my guide to check in. He has never been pushy at all and if I said I am not in need of new points, he is like "Okay, keep in touch if your needs change."

Mine has called a couple times in the last year. I always know his goal is to get me to buy more points, but I don't mind a quick check in. He called last October after I stopped and toured the models at Riviera to see what I thought of them. And then again around the time my Saratoga resale contract closed and was loaded to the system (so probably January). I did let him know I am interested in VDH so I expect to hear from him when details on its sales start. West coast owner and would love to stay there once or twice a year for mini staycations like I do with my VGC points. He used to be out at Disneyland but relocated to WDW last year. When I was at VGC last month, I chatted with the DVC reps for a few minutes the one day and they all said he is such a great guy and that they miss him.

I don’t believe I said anything like that.

It’s always good to have more people on your side with a place you do business with. I would not abuse my guide, but if I get stuck in the normal channels of trying to figure out this DVC madness I know I could lean on him for help and he would at least give it a shot to help me out thought his connections in the back channels. I think he’s been with Disney for quite some time…..

Again, this is about the legal timeline for a timeshare product to be transferred from one owner to the next.

Right but transferring ownership isn't Disney's job. Ownership has already been transferred. That's between me, my seller, and the State of Hawaii.

Last sailing it was $1,000 regardless of contract size.

If I was offered 1k for a 25 point add on, I would defintely do it

 

[MalorieA]

If this is true, it has me nervous since I have two SSR contracts in ROFR right now and really can't afford both of them to pass. The price is low enough to where I expect them to be bought back, but might cause me to have a knee jerk reaction and cancel one of these prior to the 10 day cancellation period.

Hmmm I think I probably would if I were in your position….just to be safe. I didn’t want to offer 140 on SSR so I switched to BCV and now I have a BCV in ROFR. Would have probably been financially smarter for me to just wait it out BUUUUT oh well.

I would go on a cruise just to get the 1k off, and I felt like jumping off my first / last cruise

Correct, but they can not legally remove the current owner's contract from them until they have been notified that the official closing and deed recorded has been filed.

Once they are notified that the previous owner sold their contract to you, then it is the developer's job to take care of creating a new contract for you with the unit # and points, etc. ..with the new contract number...which is why when you look at your account, you see them all the same # with the .01, .02, etc. when in the same membership.


And, it is the step of creating the new contract, and getting your account set up that takes time.

And, as I said, there doesn't' seem to be anything out there that I can find that says that there is a legal requirement that the developer must have the account set up for you to use in X amount of days....

I would not risk losing your deposit - my contracts clearly state that I lose $ if I back out after 10 days

 

[Hoppy-tn]

I have no problem with our guide reaching out to us, he has never been pushy. I am old fashioned and prefer to do as much business as I can face to face And if given the chance meet whom I am dealing with. We bought our first contract direct in March, went to Disney in May and I contacted our agent and found where he was going to be for the week ,which was grand Floridian, and my wife and I set up a tour of grand Floridian with him so we could meet him in person. Was a good experience and he spent a while with us knowing that we wasn’t buying anymore that day and never tried to rush us off or get rid of us.
he even set up a full day of travel through the dvc van service from animal kingdom kidani, to grand Floridian, then Epcot for dinner reservation, rode skyliner to riviera for tour and back to animal kingdom kidani. hope to meet up with Mr Don on a future trip and see some more resorts.

If you don't want to lose your deposit, then it might be wise to back out.... assuming you are within the 10 day period from signing...because with ROFR, you simply never know what might happen.

I know that the 10 day cancelation period applies if you're buying direct. Does it also apply if you're buying resale?

 

[Sandisw]

I know that the 10 day cancelation period applies if you're buying direct. Does it also apply if you're buying resale?

Yes. That is required under FL timeshare law (http://www.leg.state.fl.us/statutes...ng=&URL=0700-0799/0721/Sections/0721.065.html)

(c) The following statement in conspicuous type located immediately prior to the space in the contract reserved for the signature of the purchaser:
You may cancel this contract without any penalty or obligation within 10 days after the date you sign this contract. If you decide to cancel this contract, you must notify the seller in writing of your intent to cancel. Your notice of cancellation shall be effective upon the date sent and shall be sent to the seller at (address) . Any attempt to obtain a waiver of your cancellation right is void and of no effect. While you may execute all closing documents in advance, the closing, as evidenced by delivery of the deed or other document, before expiration of your 10-day cancellation period, is prohibited.

I'm going to riot.

Member services: "As a courtesy we have checked into the status of the Vacation Points for you and we are not showing any Vacation Points in process on either of the two accounts of which you own (4XXXXXXXXXXX and 4XXXXXXXXXXX)."

The deed was recorded more than two weeks ago and they don't even show it as "in process" yet.

How is the State of Hawaii government more competent than DVC Member Services?

 

[DonMacGregor]

My insurance agent literally just called me the other day to let me know about some new products they were offering, one of which I was quite interested in and am pursuing. It would have been a very long wait for me to wake up one morning, and spontaneously decide to call him.

Trying this one as well. In the words of Captain America...I can do this all day. As long as I get an answer for both of these by Labor Day, I will be happy either way.

I have rescinded my offer on this contract this afternoon. I'm only going to have one in ROFR at any given time in case Disney changes their priorities of what they are going after so I don't put myself in a bad situation that could have been avoided. I can't risk having both contracts pass in ROFR.

You might not gain anything, but you just never know? And, if they did call and you let them know that you prefer not to be contacted first, I am sure they would no longer have you on their list for unsolicited calls.

Just to be aware, at least what I was told is that MS only has access to things once the shell is showing in your account and where you are in the process of having points loaded. They do not have access to where you are in the process with MA to get the new contracts added to your membership..

Or, was this an email you got from MA? In that case, that is odd.
