Just got word back that my Parc Soleil 8400 Platinum 2br Penthouse just passed ROFR. Just requested the estoppel and supplimental and will update the database when received.

Purchase price was $510 but it was via eBay so who knows what was listed for actual consideration price. It's Florida "property" so I may never know.

My Platinum 9600 3br Anderson Ocean was just sent in today. I was originally going with a 8400 point plat 2br for slightly cheaper but switched gears and moved the higher point package to better guard against newer resorts and the rising point requirements. The MF ratio is slightly higher than the 2Br but less than a cent per point.

On a side note, is it common to bill buyer the estoppel fee?

I pay the $609 activation fee. Frustrated with the timeline on this one. Payment made October 25. Deed just NOW being sent to HGVC for processing and applying points. They claim several holdups with the sellers providing the deed. I Had recently done business with same company: purchased July 1 and had points in my account by Aug. 17. Had I known this would take so long, I would hae pursued other avenues. Maybe I was just spoiled by how fast the first one went. Oh well...

Sometimes sellers are like that. When we bought ours, the sellers waited it Seemed like forever to do anything, yet the timeline was pretty close to what we were told it would be.

I often wonder if its truly the seller or could it be the company is slow processing and blame it on sellers. If you were desparate to get rid of a TS wouldn’t you get papers signed and notified quickly?

I thought that too. When we signed our purchase agreement, the sellers had 10 days. They signed on the 9th. The agent told me they had a deal and it fell through at the last minute.

Wait, for every resale I’ve purchased, the $609 activation fee is billed directly by HGV about a month after the points have ended up in my account.... are you saying you’ve already paid this to HGV and you still don’t have your points?

sorry, *I am responsible to pay the activation fee but haven't yet. You are correct on the timeline - I didn't specify

Yeah. Super frustrating. Had I known this would take 3 months and still no points, I would have shopped elsewhere. In fact, I DID have other things I looked at and steered away from because I had this in the bag, I thought.

It's only my second resale purchase, and the first one was with the same company and went more quickly. I struggled between trusting things were moving along and just being a crybaby about it. Next time I'll apparently be a more squeaky wheel.

When did you purchase? Just curious how long it took to get through ROFR... I have the exact same purchase pending.

I have another vegas one that’s 2+weeks and still pending. I think this one cleared fast because of my agent in this one Diane Nadeau and she seems to be very well connected and have used her in the past- but maybe just pure luck.

You're right on, except I have long since started on a second one :D I already put in a low ball offer on Mar Brisa at the same time as the Trump property. Waiting on ROFR...

Ha Ha! I knew it;) What are the MF's on the Trump 1BR+? I don't see anything listed on the spreadsheet.
