ROFR Thread April to June 2018 *PLEASE SEE FIRST POST FOR INSTRUCTIONS & FORMATTING TOOL*

[DDuck4Life]

I've worked with Willie Lugo there a couple times. He was the very first person I talked to about DVC. I knew the basics but had some more questions. He was very patient and kind, taking the time to answer my questions and put me at ease. Long story short I had an accepted offer but got cold feet before signing the contract. He was very understanding when I cancelled. (I still kick myself on that, 160 VGC points at $147/point )

I spent the next few months researching and ended up working with almost all the major DVC resale brokerages. Everyone had their pluses and minuses but I kept coming back to Willie as the person I liked the best. It looked like I wouldn't have the chance to work with him but then saw a listing there I liked, called, and he happened to answer the phone. I was thrilled and he has been a pleasure to work with. (One small example, even though I got an email when I passed ROFR, he called me to congratulate me.) I don't have any hesitation in recommending that you give him a call if you're interested in a contract listed there.

I 2nd Willie. I've just started in taking the DVC plunge and started making a couple of offers and I can say out of the agents I've messaged back and forth with, Willie has been the best so far. He emails or calls with any update or just to touch base and let you know he has no update yet. He has been super helpful.

Sorry to hear that, Dan1! Last man standing. But only because my broker had Monday off. I'm sure dvc has exercised rofr on my contract.

It’s been said on here many times not to make buying decisions based on passing contracts on to your kids.

Ya never know they could be afraid of mice, or be more Universal Studios, or dislike theme parks in general....I know gasp!
And well of course there’s the maintenance fees.

I bought young enough that they can’t have my contract even if they wanted it! Haha

I wanted them even if the kids do want them. If they don't we can sell them, or they can sell them.

Dan, I am so sorry to hear this. I felt like we were going through this together and thought you would pass with me.
I am sending you a PM of a contract I have seen.

Thanks for all the hard work keeping this updated - I landed under taken and should be under waiting...

Sorry about that- I fixed it!

I closed today!!! I Judy wanted to say that I had a great experience with Fidelity and Furst American title. I didn't love that that have a few more fees than since it's but their prices can't be beat. As previously posted, I got a loaded PBV resale for $135 a point. I'll take that and trade a few fees and costumer service that I didnt even feel I missed. I lost a non loaded $95 offer at AKV on my first try but judging by the recent taken contracts that was to be expected. Best of luck to everyone. Now, I'm just waiting for my points. I'll try to hold off until day 10 before I start calling. I need to use some expiring points by the end of July.

We used Fidelity....great response a week after the posting went up. We previously posted with DVC by Resale and DVC Sales and had no bites at all. We liked the 6% commission at Fidelity compared to other sites although the other two we worked with did work with us on a reduced commission. I have bought two contracts from DVC Resale Market and although they are great to work with when buying, they had no flexibility on commission for sales listings.

Is this extended? Just asking cause I’m looking at OKW myself and trying to get an idea of what’s passing.

Not extended.

Priced a bit higher for OKW but with all the points we felt this was fair. We also hope with it being so loaded and priced a little high that it will not be one that they want.

If you click the link in post #1 to reformat that string, it increases your odds. Scientific fact!

That is a lot of points! Hopefully they will pass you by. Good luck!

My apologies. I'm on my phone at the moment and it doesn't work well for me unless on computer. Will reformat later.
