Hello, all. Let me preface this by saying I may just be overreacting. I get a little nuts with my planning sometimes. 
Here's my story: I am not a current DVC owner, but recently decided that I wanted to buy into BWV. I knew that there is a wait for BW points so that was no big deal. I also knew that as a WA resident I would have to sign the papers in Orlando (or Anaheim). A person on this board hooked me up with a guide (so at least one person on here knows the guide I'm talking about).
The guide and I talked on the phone. He cleared up some of my questions, but honestly I didn't have too many since I'd been researching this for awhile. Things seemed to be going along smoothly. We left it at: I need to chat with my husband and decide how many points we need.
Our chat was pretty short, "honey, I brought you some Easter candy - can I have $23,000 to buy into DVC?" "OK, if that's what you want."
So I emailed the guide and told him what I wanted. He said I'd have to sign the papers at WDW or DLR, and I said that's fine, I'll check airfare and let you know which works better for me. Then sanity kicked in and I realized signing could wait until early May when I'm going to be there anyway. So I called him back later that day and said let's just do this in May at WDW. *Then* he tells me he's not even sure he can put me on the waiting list, that he's "working on it." He said he'd check back with me at the beginning of April, but now I'm afraid that my May trip is going to come and go and there will be no points or paperwork for me to sign while I'm there. Plus, I asked him once about using my inlaws' address. He said they would have to be actual buyers with us as associates and then we'd have to do a quit claim to switch the contract to us. After I realized I wouldn't just be using their address, but would actually have them involved in the transaction, I lost interest, but now he keeps coming back to doing that even though I said I definitely did NOT want to do that.
I just want this DONE you know?
I feel like this guide is more interested in making the sale than in doing what's best for me.
Here are my options:

Here are my options:
- start looking on the resale market and hope to pass ROFR
- see if the guide can follow through and get me on the waiting list
- just freaking buy at SSR or AKV (if possible) even though I really prefer BWV and would like the 11 month window there
Wow!
We would have had access to our points sooner, but since we're not going to WDW until summer, it really wasn't an issue. 
I know it's a big commitment and I'm glad you found these boards. I wished I had found them earlier!!! 
Only thing I would have changed...UY!
