Follow-up question then: I've been talking with a guide for the last few weeks and have just been floating questions (haven't gotten into specifics about use year and/or points, other than some general recommendations on his part). He's been incredibly low-pressure, which I really appreciate. We've left it off at I'm very interested and just need some time to hammer out the details and finances which could take some time. He said he completely understood and to take whatever time I need. He said we'll have flexibility with use year and such but he'd suggest acting "before Christmas" (his timeline, not mine; I don't plan on waiting that long).
I then found a resale contract at a good price, so I decided to move forward with that, but I still very much want to buy direct (really hoping to do so before the minimum goes up, but it'll be tight likely). I'm looking at a September use year. My question is, given
@sethschroeder's advice, should I tell my guide I've found a resale contract but still want to proceed with direct after/if that closes? Keep the conversations going? What would you recommend? I don't want to increase my odds of getting ROFRd.
