So sorry to hear!

 

[NewbieMom]

Wow! Great price though... haven’t seen a price this low in months for AKV. Out of curiousity.. was this fidelity?

No, DVC Magic. I don't see them commonly mentioned here, and as a 1st time buyer, I don't find them very helpful. There's no communication at all. I had to call to follow up on offer, whether seller accept/signed Purchase Agreement, and whether they sent it to ROFR.

I'm so grateful for these boards. Otherwise, I wouldn't even know about ROFR or that I'm expected to wait 30 days or so. There was absolutely no explanation of this from the broker. I guess they assume if you're buying resale, you already know?

I bought through them last year when they still had Rachel as their broker. I’ve heard they’ve really spiraled downward since she left. Good news for you is that it doesn’t make a big difference if you can get a contract to pass at that price!

That's true. I just don't want to lose the contract for some technicality, if by some miracle it passes ROFR. Like, I haven't even submit a deposit yet. No one has reached out to ask for one, and I haven't had a chance to call to ask where I should send it.

Yikes. That should be included in your paperwork that you got. Not a deposit form but certainly where to send the deposit and the name of the title company. Look over all your paperwork. The title company should be named in there somewhere. Give them a call to see if they will accept a credit card or just a check. Sometimes, they don't collect the deposit unless a contract passes ROFR. There was one company last year that worked that way, but I can't remember which one. Good luck!

 

[iheartglaciers]

Ah, ok, because that would of been too funny. We definitely paid a bit more for our because it was fully loaded, with 2017 points already banked and everything. BWV looks nice too - but my son says the clown in the pool would give him nightmares! Lol.

Haha I don't love the clown either... there are many things I love about both BCV and BWV, but I couldn't justify keeping both. Especially because I wanted a second home resort at a MK area resort. If I win the lotto then maybe I can have all the home resorts I want

Sorry to hear this - we sent our off at 230pts at $95 at AKL just over a week ago and I think there's next to no chance of it passing. I felt so optimistic at the start but checking here every day seeing so many taken is just depressing! Just feels like a complete waste of time. Like others have said, we may have to look at another resort, but struggling to justify c.$140 for the Poly/BCV

I just called the agent because I've checked my paperwork multiple times and there's no information listed. She said they don't take the deposit until they hear back that ROFR has been waived. Phew!

Hopefully they're where they want to be in getting points and are going to stop ROFRing AKV so heavily!

I’m convinced they are taking them solely to drive the price up to be closer to the new retail price. Is there a max at each resort that they can hold?

 

[TeeKo]

So lost another one.
Can’t enter all the data cause I didn’t pay super close attention. Didn’t figure it would pass.
AKV December UY
Was either 200 or 250 points
Neither loaded nor stripped
Taken on Day 25
$97pp

 

[ScubaCat]

But can you walk to EP and HS from Bonnet Creek or the W=A?

Nope, but you can use hilton points there! And they have a lazy river!

DaveNan---$100-$17755-160-AKV-Dec-152/17, 160/18, 160/19-International Seller- sent 4/18, passed 5/8

Passed at day 20!! Now I have 2 in closing and will be taking some time off of buying. Unless of course that ideal contract shows up as I tell my DW.

I’m so glad to see this! It gives me hope for my AKL Dec use year

Thinking optimistically, maybe I can get a 220 or 230 for your rate now. They can't buy all of them. Good luck.

 

[DaveNan]

Taking another go at it AKV this time

Jerry5788---$100-$21100-205-AKV-Sep-66/17, 83/18, 205/19-international seller- sent 5/8

Good Luck, they can't take them all!

What a surprise - not lol

Sorry to hear. The mouse keeps us guessing. I have gotten lucky a couple of times recently after I had lost some. Happy hunting.

Bummer. I had a similar get though today. I hope you find a better one, that you get next time.

I bought one last year through DVC Magic. At that time they used First Reliable Transfers and I had to submit a deposit at contract/rofr submission. I recently passed rofr on one through Vacatia and they also used FRT and did not ask for the deposit until after rofr was passed. I have also noticed a lot of the identical properties for sale appear on both the Vacatia and DVC Magic (same resort, UY, point value, and point status). So they may be affiliated.
