Questions as we try again!
1. Mason Title has our deposit. The broker offered to refund or we can keep it there if we are going to try again. If we might go through a different broker, should I get the deposit back?
2. Can I make multiple offers? Then what happens?

I'm going for CC but Poly was my second choice. I've only gotten taken once but should I go for Poly? We'd want advantage for the week after Christmas/first week in January and spring break (the most popular one; week before Easter because of course it is). We haven't actually stayed at CC but liked the vibe a lot; we've stayed at Poly and loved it.

I always ask for the deposit to be refunded to my CC. I just found it easier to keep track of. Some folks on here are saying some Brokers don't allow Mason to be used (which for me is a deal breaker), but you have more flexibility if you just get the refund.

When my last was taken I let the title company keep the deposit but that was only because I found a replacement contract immediately and it just happened to be with the same company. If that were not the case then I would have asked for the deposit to be returned. If you plan on making offers on multiple contracts then I would ask for the deposit to be returned (that’s just me).

Part of this is a personal preference call… my husband’s first vote was Wilderness Lodge (he didn’t have a preference on BRV or CCV) and second vote was PVB (we went with AKV that round lol). We had not stayed or toured either. I was very excited about CCV until I stayed there in a studio. The vibe of the resort is great and I’d be willing to stay there again in a 1-bedroom+ to give it another shot or at BRV with the refurb, but I did not like the studios at CCV at all. They were very small, the pull out was uncomfortable, and the decor in the room looked very sterile and bland to me (in contrast to the rest of the resort). Again, the larger villas seem like they could be beautiful, though, and this is totally my opinion of just the CCV studio. I’m not trying to upset anyone on here at all. I’ve since been to Poly and if I were to compare studio to studio then I’d pick Poly.

You can make multiple offers so if you want to give CCV another shot and see if you can get a good deal then go for it. If I remember correctly, you have 10 days to cancel without penalty.

Thanks for the experience. I have heard its basically the largest v the smallest studios.

I'm thinking I might go after multiple contracts and see what sticks.

I have kept mine with them as the 3 contracts I have tried to purchase just happen to be with the same resale site

Good luck! My last two BLT were taken but just agreed with a seller on another

I’m hoping the fact that there aren’t any points until 2023 helps. I also have three other contracts already so I can be patient for a BLT to go through.

Nope, still waiting. Tomorrow will be day 34

So, I have two questions that have been raised after posts in this thread.
1. I read on some post that you have to pay extra taxes if youpurchase from an international seller? What is this and why?
2. What happens is Disney never decides on ROFR by the closing date?

1. I read on some post that you have to pay extra taxes if youpurchase from an international seller? What is this and why?

The international seller has to pay a tax to the US called the FIRPTA, but the US citizen buyer is held responsible for making sure it’s paid. A good title company, such as the ones used by most people posting here, will take care of it.

2. What happens is Disney never decides on ROFR by the closing date?

If Disney doesn’t exercise its ROFR by the closing date specified in the sales contract, it’s assumed to have waived it, and the sale can close.

I’ve received lectures about my offer never passing ROFR and how the closing agent we all love is an untrustworthy liar. Also that a second offer came in higher than mine but the agent would let me have it if I matched that price. Old school sales tactics.

Wow... I literally had all of these exact conversations with one of my agents... Interesting. I never budged on the price (it was super low at the time but full asking price) and it was still accepted and passed ROFR.

Good on you for sticking with it and getting what you wanted! I walked away because I was too annoyed by the tactics and I refuse to give this agent any of my money via commissions

good gawd. What is with the ROFR lady and BLT and CCV?! With the rumored price increases, BLT and CCV will be $270pp and $250pp direct! Who in the world would buy them at those insane prices?!
