ROFR Thread April to June 2022 *PLEASE SEE FIRST POST FOR INSTRUCTIONS & FORMATTING TOOL*

[rollnstns]

Im on Day 41 waiting to hear back on ROFR. Fun times. I know you all know the pain but just sharing the misery. Already have seen new contracts come and go I would have moved on but here I wait.

I feel your pain, being held in limbo is a helpless feeling. We were lucky that a listing we liked even more lasted while we were waiting to get crushed by ROFR.

54 days! This was our 4th SSR taken since January. We've tried a variety of prices, loaded, unloaded contracts, and cannot seem to get one through, so I think it's time to try a new resort!

We are back at it! Attempt #5. Instead of going international seller for SSR, we decided on a resort in active sales. Hopefully this gets us through.

You should be made in the shade with that one! Nice get!

I need Aulani to sell out because "lowballing Aulani resale contracts" is going to become an expensive hobby...

Stay tuned for a doozy.

I have a question for you experienced buyers. I went back through my contract and the closing date is listed as June 28th. If I pass ROFR soon, would the closing date be moved up or remain as listed in the contract? Buying through DVC Resale Market if that helps. Thanks in advance!!!

West coaster to use both half at Aulani and half SAP in FL. I feel like Oct is rarer than other UYs for subsidized.

I've bought twice and closed early both times. One time, we completed an addendum to the contract with a new date. The other time, we never signed anything new, we just closed early.

If you keep buying all the resale contracts then more people will have to go direct. It will sell out then won't it? Got ya wish, just different way.

Been waiting for someone to buy that one so I stop being temped to make an offer! lol

Does anyone know if the seller can book a reservation for the buyer? Or does the account have to have 0 reservations in order for DVD to make the transfer from seller to buyer? I've never thought of this before and I'm curious how all this works.

yes. I did this a couple of years ago. the contract I agreed to purchase had 150 banked points that was going to expire. I worked with the broker to have the owner book a stay for me and he agreed. The broker had both of us sign an addendum to the contract but luckily it did not impact the closing timeline. Who is your broker?

Darn that October Subsidized contract teasing me! Although yesterday I told my wife she was going to be mad at me and she just assumed I bought another contract and already started saying well you just have to figure out how to pay for it. That's permission, right? (FYI I bought a box of cookies and we are dieting is why she was gonna be mad)

I'd be more mad about the cookies than the contract! LOL

I am sorry you had to do this 5 times! I hope it comes through for you. I am curious what prompted you to change from an international seller contract at SS to VGF? I am reading on these boards that international contracts pass ROFR (typically) and the cost of SS is much less than VGF (unless of course, you want to use the points to stay at VGF, then this makes sense!). Good luck and I hope you hear back soon!!

So i had a HHI contract sent to ROFR on 4/18. Today I received an email from broker asking to sign an addendum to delay closing til August due to a reservation. This was not disclosed in the listing. Is that normal to have this happen? I wanted to get this ASAP so that I could book next summer. I know that will not be possible now. What are my options if I dont want to wait? Can I cancel and get my deposit back?

No! Renegotiate the contract or get your deposit back.

I had told myself to stick to window shopping since we've only just joined DVC, but couldn't pass this one up.
