Nice deal....

saintstickets · 10-17-2012, 02:03 PM

I have a question for those that frequent this thread. How do you find your DVC contract?

- Have you listed a preference with the 4 main DVC resellers and wait to be contacted?
- Do you get on their email lists and then respond?
- Do you check their online listings periodically? If so, how often?
- Are you in telephone contact with an agent and they call you with the size/resort/UY contract you are seeking?
- Do you search differently depending on the DVC reseller?
- Is there a different route you take to find your preference?

I realize the most likely answer will probably be all of the above or some combination thereof but I was just wondering how most of you go about the process. TIA for your response either on this thread or privately.

I contacted 2 of the big resale agencies. One did not have the resort/size/UY that I was interested in at that time (TSS.). The other (Fidelity) had several contracts that were within the parameters I was looking at. The first offer I made was accepted.

Before I was ready to make an offer I did peruse the online listing of the big 4, just getting a feel on list price, movement on the contracts etc, for a few weeks. The contract that I bid on first had been on the website for several weeks. I was hopeful they would be negotiable on price. They were.

I just bought early Sept. I searched myself for what I wanted (daily) but I did talk to two of the resellers and got updates from TTS. Ending up buying from Fidelity (excellent work)Waiting for Disney to load me in system right now.5 weeks exactly today since offer.I hear 8 weeks ususally so I'm feeling lucky it has gone this quickly(unless Disney drags their feet here)

Msmithmd · 10-17-2012, 03:34 PM

I listed my desired points with the resale brokers that would take the info. For some unknown reason TTS wouldn't. That made no sense to me.

Advertising yourself as "the largest reseller," but not taking a wait list of buyers, seems counterintuitive. For gosh sakes, these companies get paid for matching buyers and sellers. Why on earth wouldn't you get lists of both buyers and sellers, and try to bring them together. But whatever, all the other agencies took my info- and I went with the first one that matched an appropriate contract.

Would have been happy to use TTS, and would certainly look at their lists in the future- as many others here seem to have had good experiences with them. But I guess they are too busy to provide any service on the "buyer's agent" side of the broker equation.

We learned today that Disney waived ROFR.

SSR, 150 points, Sept. UY, includes 150 for 2012 and 150 thereafter, we paid $8800 which included everything - closing and maintenance for 2012. Submitted around September 21.

This is our first DVC purchase. We are awaiting answer regarding ROFR for OKW which we purchased a week later.

Jim and Kitty,

Jack, How are things in HB? The ladies and Pete and Rudy doing well? Looong time no speak. Please send regards to every one.

Looks like we just missed each other on NY cruises this summer! We did the first Magic cruise in Sept.

BTW, great deal on the SSR contract. I am thinking about buying another SSR contract in a few months. Hope to get a deal as good as yours.
