ROFR Thread Oct to Dec 2021 *PLEASE SEE FIRST POST FOR INSTRUCTIONS & FORMATTING TOOL*

My broker is a fidelity agent and I've asked her three times to do so but she won't. I was surprised considering fidelity seems to get average to good reviews here!

Related tangentially, does anyone know when/if there's a time you can pull out and not lose a deposit once you've been sent to ROFR?

Just be aware the PURCHASE CONTRACTS differ from broker to broker - I noticed recently that FIDELITY had under Buyer Default section that if the Buyer cancelled after 10 days they would lose their deposit -PLUS- BE LIABLE FOR THE FULL COMMISSION that is usually paid by the Seller. Which seems unreasonable (to me) if the Broker is getting half your deposit, and just going to get the commission on it from the next sale anyway. I now look at Fidelity purchases with less enthusiasm lol. Know what Your specific contract says before you cancel.

Been watching the board and thinking next week we will finally hear whether we pass... It looks like ROFR is on the week of 11/17. If it does not pass, I have my sights set on another one.

Nope, still haven’t heard and ours is 11/16 and should be a pretty easy one. We are paying $145 for OKW. I would have thought they’d pass on that fairly quick.

Good luck!! I agree that would seem like a no-brainer and well above what seems like the going rates.

4th try for BLT was the charm. I was confident but when I saw Disney had bought a BLT at $158 I wasn't going to count my chickens till they hatched. Happy that my wife's addonitis will hopefully be cured forever now. 465 points a year are more than enough. Now to get the 480 points into my account so I can get them rented out before my wife tries to use them.

When we got our BLT it was loaded with 2020 points. I told my husband we could rent them. Somehow we took an extra trip this year instead....

Oh no, why is the transfer department closed? I have one waiting. Darn

I'm not sure. I passed ROFR last week and already sent the money and everything but my title company said we can't close until December 20th at the earliest because Disney isn't accepting anything until after that date

They do this every year when they have to update the dues in the system.

Very excited to get the good news and move forward. Was a bit nervous Disney might grab it, but they didn't!

Just an FYI follow-up to my previous post. Things moved along pretty quickly for us, since we appeared to have sellers anxious to get their money. Closing was easy and Disney moved it along. As a data point for this thread, we had the offer accepted 10/15, passed ROFR 11/19, and had the points in our account for actual use 12/11. I know there have been some mixed experiences out there, but less than 2 months seemed pretty good to us.

Do you recall if they stop ROFR every year also, or just the Transfers?

I remember reading every year during this time that things at MA may stop during this time when dues get uploaded. I do think they put out that nothing will happen but if things can, they still do which is why we may still see accounts created and ROFR happening.

I don’t recall. I know last year I closed right before the shut down and my deed was filed without any issues but it took awhile to get my membership number and points.

I closed 12/3, got my membership number 12/12, but no useable points yet.

I've found that the timeline is hit or miss. I've had a resale contract that saw the contract showing in my membership, with the correct UY and annual point count correct, but actually getting the points provisioned into the account took a few days, even with a phone call.

 

[Anuhea35]

I closed 11/24, contract showed in my account 12/6, points loaded 12/10

Call them- they may be able to load your points since you already have a membership number. We did that a couple of times.

You can call or do online chat. They can load it for you.
