I have purchased 3 contracts resale, with two being from international sellers. While both international contracts took much longer than the domestic contract, the deals with the international sellers were better.
However, my last contract with an international seller is still pending even though Disney waived ROFR in October and I received/returned closing documents in November. This seller is from a South American country and required an appointment at the embassy to notarize the documents. That took quite some time. Now the seller has only returned some of the documents. It doesn’t help that the seller doesn’t speak English and apparently the ability to call them is limited, leaving the broker’s ability to communicate only through email. The contract was completely stripped until 2020, so I’m not in a rush and it was a really good deal price wise so I’m holding out hope that closing will eventually happen with a little patience. The only thing I have to lose by continuing to wait is the use of my money while its being held in escrow. If it wasn’t such a great deal (one that would not likely pass ROFR now) I would walk.
So, you will probably get a better deal with an international seller, and like
@kboo stated I think Disney is more apt to waive with an international seller. Just don’t enter into the transaction without your patience!
