I’m probably biased, but Derek w/DVCRMWho is your broker?
Thank you I've been waiting 2 months and 9 days to see this! hahaDisney.dad---$30-$10242-217-VB-Apr-0/23, 217/24, 217/25, 217/26- sent 3/4
Having a responsive broker definitely makes the process a lot smoother. Kerri MacPherson at DVCRM has been great about responding quickly to text messages… even on a weekend morning….I’m probably biased, but Derek w/DVCRM
In the grand scheme of things, $1000 extra on the buy in makes no difference… it’s one night cash price in a studio at certain times of year! Better to find what you want… that’s the approach I’ve taken with my small contracts!AstroBlasters---$174-$9399-50-VGF-Feb-0/23, 33/24, 50/25, 50/26- sent 3/9
I am aware that this is not the best price. But I want to get a contract closed before the 11m booking window for my 2025 Spring Break trip and desire more points than the 125 contract that is in the process of closing. It was also important for me to match the Use Years….
I made offers on a number of BC/BW contracts, but it seems the reasonably priced small contracts go almost instantly and the ones that are around have sellers who want to hold on for top dollar…. which is their prerogative.
If you like Derek then you have to watch the DVCFan YouTube show….We haven't purchased through DVCRM but I did submit an offer through them last year and Derek was really responsive and helpful.
You have until the closing date (in your original contract) to submit documents.
You would only need a SSN or ITIN if you purchased from a non-US citizen. If you did this MUST be disclosed to you at time of purchase.
And if so, please make sure you have the title company provide you proof that they paid FIRPTA to the IRS otherwise the IRS will be billing you for it (15% of purchase price).
I couldn't agree more. I see a lot of traffic on getting "the best deal" for these. I get it. Everyone wants the lowest price they can get away with, but at what cost to everything else? It's not just the price per point. It's so many different variables. And everyone's calculus is different.In the grand scheme of things, $1000 extra on the buy in makes no difference… it’s one night cash price in a studio at certain times of year!

Congrats! I looked Very seriously at that one too! Not a bad price for a 50 point you want (but I just paid $140 for a small BWV lol). Your time "looking and stressing" is worth a few extra $/point. As mentioned, the buy in is not the only part of the calculation!AstroBlasters---$174-$9399-50-VGF-Feb-0/23, 33/24, 50/25, 50/26- sent 3/9

And I always consider if the seller is paying my closing costs, admin fee, etc so not everything is PPPCongrats! I looked Very seriously at that one too!

Agreed. We harp so much on saving a few dollars per point.. we're all bending over for pennies while spending dollars on duesIn the grand scheme of things, $1000 extra on the buy in makes no difference… it’s one night cash price in a studio at certain times of year!
