I have contract ADD lol

[DisneyFansInLINY]

So originally I was going to take a break from looking into buying DVC over the period of Lent to figure out what contract would be best for us as I have contract ADD lol. But I am too addicted to these boards and to the resale websites. First it was how many points we needed going from 300 to 100 and then to 150. Then it was which property going from OKW to BWV to AKV and now to SSR. And now my problem is that I keep putting in offers and then if a day or so passes without hearing back on my offer, I lose interest in the contract and find another contract I like better. So I call up the realtor and cancel my other offer to put in a new offer for a different contract. She has noticed my ADD lol. Anyway, it has been about 1.5 days and I didn't hear back on my other offer and I realize it will take longer than expected as it is a bankruptcy thing going through a lawyer. So naturally with my ADD, I cannot wait that long and then I noticed something I like better. The other contract is stripped but this was is fully loaded. I am realizing I like fully loaded better than stripped. And as for use years, I have went through every month lol.

You've got it BAD! I remember you saying you gave up for Lent.

Totally addicted! (So am I).

You are too funny, LOL.

To save yourself and the brokers some grief, perhaps consider putting a time limit on your offer when you submit it to the broker. For example, this offer is good for xx hours or until 5 pm Eastern tomorrow, etc.

Hope you find something.

Thank you. I did that with my offer before my last offer and it worked well. And then with this last offer, the broker knows my ADD so she told me I should hear back from her within 2 days. I think she knows after 2 days, I have no interest. But I am realizing that since they have to contact an attorney, it will take longer than 2 days. I found a few posts about bankruptcy listings and really do not have the patience for it. As they didn't hear back on their offer for weeks! I could never wait that long lol.

I will probably have to take up smoking by then lol

Well my ADD has caused me to lose credibility with my offers lol. I just cancelled the offer on the other contract and wanted to make a new offer on a different contract. The realtor asked me if I was sure this time and not going to retract my offer because if I had any doubt then she did not want to put my offer in. And so I explained that I was absolutely sure this time. Now my question is, I have gone back and forth between 2 realtors at the same company. Does it matter who I make the offers with or is that something they have to work out? I don't want to offend either one of them. The first offer I made was with the one I just made an offer with now. The other offers have been with the other realtor.

This is exactly what I did, wasn't hearing on offers for days. Really bugged me since I'd see other contracts I wanted to offer on come up and get sold before I heard back on the first one. Putting the time limit on it really sped up the process.

Also, don't be afraid to drop any of the brokers from consideration. Two of the four kinda did me wrong, so I stopped offering on their listings. There are tons of contracts out there, no reason to buy one that isn't what you're looking for.

Thank you for your post. I was feeling kinda bad after having spoken to the broker. I have thought about telling her that her attitude is a bit unprofessional. DH is in sales and my SIL is a real estate agent. They deal with people changing their minds all of the time and/or wanting to see a house or sit down and discuss their financial options without the end result being a sale. However, they treat every client the same as to never burn a bridge. I like the broker's co-worker much better as she had the patience to deal with me and if she was annoyed with me, she never let on about it. I wish she had answered the phone or returned my call before I made the offer with miss attitude. But I will write a letter or email when all is said and done to put her in her place

What contract are you offering on? Good luck...I hope they get back to you in a reasonable time. I wouldn't deal with a bankruptcy either.

Thank you. SSR 150 points Dec 2012 300 points, Dec 2013 150 points asking price $63.33. I didn't offer asking price. There was another off for $54 per point but my offer was higher.

Dean,
I agree. If i was a broker dealing with a person who changed their mind everyday i just wouldn't take them seriously that they're looking to buy.
IMHO.

This is a free country so I can change my mind as many times as I like until I decide what to do with MY money. If a broker doesn't want to take me serious, that is fine by me. I will just take my business elsewhere.

You're right, it's your prerogative to change your mind and hop from contract to contract. But don't be surprised when it takes longer and longer for the brokers to get back to you. It's called burning bridges. They have people who are seriously ready to enter the process of buying DVC.

[Sur]

Burning bridges defined- I had an ex who "burned the bride"... bet there are wishes they hadn't because they could've borrowed my DVC points from time to time!!

Now THAT was burning the bridge! Poor thing, has to settle for paying cash at the resorts.
