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

[Jazmadaz]

That's interesting. I didn't even make an offer on my contract until May 29th (3 days after you cleared ROFR), so my approximate anticipated closing date should have been two or three weeks after you, yet my projected close date has always been July 12, two days before yours. Interesting...

It’s an Aulani contract. Not sure if extra time is put in the contract because of that. We made our offer at the end of April.

On day 29, and getting antsier by the hour. Driving DH crazy with how often I’m checking email. We are Poly (with an international seller to boot) so I feel good about but it but dang it I just want the official news! Especially since I’ve seen at least two people who sent their contracts off for consideration the same day post they already got their decisions within the past week (one being for the same resort as us) so I had hoped that meant we would also receive something any day now… is it uncommon to receive a notification on a weekend? Should I just put down my phone and stop making myself nuts (ha! As if that’s a viable option!)?

I know the feeling! Our broker informed us in the middle of a long weekend, so...

No, weekend notifications happen fairly often. You should check your email every five minutes at the very least.

 

[MISCdisney21]

Worst part of waiting for me is seeing other listings and thinking if I only knew mine was taken I could offer on that one.

Ok good, guess I can slow down my frequency since I was a steady rate of about every other minute.

I’ve had some instances where the title company knew the ROFR decision before the broker did. May be worth calling your title agent. Never hurts. Sometimes brokers get super busy and tied up in their emails.

That certainly is extra time. 10 weeks?

And turn the notification volume on your phone up to max, so every text and email makes you jump 5 feet.

Correct. Once the paperwork is sent to Disney for ROFR, all notification and communication with Disney goes through the title agent. They will receive the ROFR letter and estoppel notice directly from Disney.

Anything yet?

Oh… I didn’t know that about holding funds. We passed ROFR (and estoppel issued) on May 28th. We didn’t get the closing docs until June 20th though. I returned docs and sent the money right away. Still waiting for the seller… technically closing isn’t for almost two weeks but I was really hoping to close sooner. I didn’t realize that holding the funds helped it move along. Thanks for the tip!

I would guess, most buyers of resale have no idea they should hold their check unless they read this thread. Addonitis will hit soon, so now you know LOL!

 

[erinkristen04]

Anything yet?

Lol!!! No. And the ants in my pants forced me to email the broker and was told Disney is taking the full 30+ days to make decisions and they would check on Monday. Taking great restraint to not respond and say “but I was obsessively stalking the ROFR thread and saw another Poly also sent on the same date got their answer a few days ago….” I need help. Think I may have my husband hide my phone from me for a few hours

 

[Stargazer65]

Lol!!! No.

How about now?

Haha! Well as the other Poly contract sent that day I hope you get your answer very, very soon!

Just made an offer on a new one and I haven't even been on my welcome home trip yet. In my defense, I made a spreadsheet and I foresee having a shortfall of points in 2025. Haha! Prices wont get any cheaper!

This is the way.

I'm at a point where I don't *need* more points anymore but still bidding. I think I need that intervention therapy that comes once a year in January.

 

[Keppyslinger]

We put this in a couple of weeks ago but I didn't want to post for fear of Jinxing things...
