Well, I am very close to the finish line… I also purchased an Ebay Beach House week for a great price, and low and behold, it made it through the ROFR. All of this was thanks to tug! I was reading this string and saw where someone had won a Beach House on Ebay for a low price, but ended up giving it back because they had 2 of them. When this unit was put back on auction I knew what the winning price was going to be, and just bid a little bit higher..
Anyway, I have been pretty amazed at how long this process takes. Having purchased timeshares before, it has never been this long.
Process Steps:
- Purchase Agreement - Start 11/1, Complete 11/21/18
- ROFR - Start 11/21, Complete 1/22/19
- Title Search - Start 1/22. Complete 2/11/19
- Escrow/Deed Prep - Start 2/11, Complete 3/08/19
- 2019 Dues (for 2020 wk) - Complete 3/26/19
- Record Deed - Start 3/8, ECD 4/8
- Membership Activation - ECD 2-3 wks
- Interval Reservations - ECD 1wk (deadline 4/26)
After seeing how long this was going to take, I was concerned about what I was going to do with the week that is on the books, since I did not want it to go into LCUP. Then I saw the description on this same string about how to trade for a couple of weeks on Interval and purchase the Eplus to be able to make use of my new purchase week. Thanks again to tug!!!
So as you can see from the table, I should be a Hyatt Beach House owner in about 1 month. Wife and I are looking forward to some great vacations with this timeshare.
Thanks to all of you very informative tuggers!
