I have been a HGVC member for 5+ years and have worked with several of the major well known resale brokers and they are all good and generally have different inventory.

I want to share a recent experience where I was helping a relative buy a HGVC resale contract.

My sister, with some guidance from me, was originally was looking for HGVC Blvd for a 2 bedroom (8,400 points) plus platinum contract (or even a 3 bedroom plus 9,600 points) and those are pretty hard to find at reasonable prices. We contacted all three resale brokers and had good responses with relatively high prices, made a few offers and got pretty high counter offers in return. Those two examples are now over $1pp, but have relatively low annual dues.

However, Diane Nadeau from Timeshare Broker Sales suggested a 2 bedroom (7,000 points) platinum property that was listed for a bargain price (half the cost of the "Plus" version) and after careful evaluation, this was better buy, so my sister made an offer, seller accepted, counter signed, deposit sent, and off to ROFR, all within the same day.

I will post details AFTER it passes ROFR and closes, but the price is in line with the other sales on rorf.net

HGVC Las Vegas Blvd (platinum/annual)
9,600 3 Br+ = .119 dues
8,400 2 Br+ = .107 dues
7,000 2 Br = .129 dues

The annual dues for the 2 Br non-plus version is .022 more than the 2 Br+ and based on 7,000 points, that is $154 per year more, however the breakeven (based upon a $5,000 difference) would be about 32 years.

The annual dues for the 2 Br non-plus version is .010 more than the 3 Br+ and based on 7,000 points, that is $70 per year more, however the breakeven (based upon a $6,000 difference) would be about 86 years.

We are SUPER happy with the service and professionalism of Diane Nadeau and highly recommend her if you are in the market to buy or sell HGVC.
 
we recently got a great deal from her, as well, and excellent service.
 
I‘ve also had good deals with both Diane and Dana in the last two years.

Curious, where did you buy 7000 pts @ 0.129/pt?

$0.129 is the annual dues, not purchase price

I used annual dues to compare multiple buying opportunities. The resale price ranges from around $1pp to $0pp (free) and I decided that even for free some contracts are not worth it due to the higher annual dues that never end. I am not claiming to buy the lowest/best/cheapest contract, I am just sharing the factors I used to make a buying decision.

I've looked at cases with a sub-optimal MF ratio (like a Gold versus Platinum in one case) because they buy-in was so low that the break-even on the higher MF was like 20 or so years. I put an upper bound on the "forever" of the MF payments :)

Cheers.

That's what I meant, apologies. Where is the MF/point 0.129 for 7,000 points?

I‘ve recently closed on a Platinum 1BR Grand (7000 points) at Elara that’s just below that and also a Platinum 1BR Premier (12,600 points) at KingsLand that’s in the same area.
 
I have worked with Diane and Karina through 3 timeshare resale HGVC purchases. The very best experience each time.

At what price did you close 1BR premier at KingsLand and what was MF?

It's an EOY-Odd and we paid $5,000 plus closing costs and the HGVC Activation/Transfer Fees. The 2021 MF's were $1485, which is around $.118 per point.

I’m glad your experience is better than mine.

I was in contact with Diane less than a month ago and she promised me back then to get back to me with potential listings. Now almost 3 weeks later, I’m still waiting, I guess finding those listings are really difficult.

She sounds like a one of these plumbers I tried to hire recently:
-- One never returned a call after leaving 2 VM's.
-- One said it'd be November before they could do an estimate.
-- One gave me a date of 10/18 to come for a visit.

Maybe if I declared a leak, they'd treat it as an emergency.
But that wouldn't help in a TS context.

Sorry for your experience. She can get a bit long winded at times when she is traveling. I just keep sending her emails until she responds and gives me what I'm looking for. She really has come through with the best finds. I've worked with a couple others as well, but she is my go to. With her help, I just recently lucked up with 4800 points EOYO at the Ocean Enclave by HGVC, 1600 North Ocean Boulevard, Myrtle Beach, SC 29577. I was shocked when HGVC didn't take advantage of the ROFR for this property. Now, I own at this resort and the Elara.
 
I agree, Diane has been great to work with. I am in the process of closing a 10,000 point at Boulevard (2 - 5,000 points on one deed) and she has been very good and responsive. She may not respond to emails as quickly but does answer calls and she says to call her up to 9 pm eastern time weekdays and weekends so that is pretty darn good customer service. We have owned at Tuscany since 2003 and this is our first resale purchase so we were a bit unsure about the process but she clearly explained it all. We have read threads for a while but never pulled the trigger. This deal made sense to us so we did it.
 
@KDaley @HuskerATL How much did you guys pay? Can you report the sale to ROFR.net, if you haven't already?

We have only paid our deposit so far and are waiting for ROFR from Hilton. Assuming Hilton passes on it, we will pay $6,000 plus closing and will add to ROFR.net.

The Elara Westgate option hasn't been bad for me at all.
I can book out up to 12 moths if using the Elara for full 7 nights.
I can also split the 7 days into 3 and 4 night stays $140 fee + the $59 reservation fee
3 and 4 night stays can only book out to 9 months.
If you transfer the property back to Westgate, you get double. So for the 2 BR, I will get a 4 BR Westgate week.
I can break it out to 4 -1BR 7 night stays giving me 4 Westgate weeks.
Each Westgate reservation or change is $159 fee, but they do not charge a guest certificate fee.


Now........ The maintenance fees are rolling in.......

Congrats on the purchases.

remember to add around $600 per hgvc timeshare in activation fees. These will be charged when the owner change is complete.
 
Back to the topic of Diane, I had a phone call with her to tell her what I was looking for and what I would pay (per rofr) and she said she thinks all the information there is from eBay scammers. Lol!

They definitely could since there isn't a registration but there are also legitimate ones in there.
