Hilton waived ROFR on August 22 for the HGVC on the Boulevard - Las Vegas. I paid $7,500 for 7K points Platinum season and the $562 Hilton activation fee. All other closing costs were incurred by the seller. The maintenance fee breakdown is $826.83 + $159 (Club Dues) = $985.83. What are your thoughts on the transaction? Did I get a good deal, or a great deal? If you don't think it was a great deal, what would have made it better in your opinion? As always, thanks team!

Congratulations. You didn't say but I assume that this was for 7K points platinum season. The Hilton activation fee should be $560 (saved you a few bucks) and MFs were $821.83 (without voluntary ARDA fee) for 2017 (saved you a few bucks more). Your purchase cost is $1.071/point (with closing cost included) and MFs cost are $0.117/point (without club fee included). My personal criteria are to have purchase cost ~$1.0/point and MFs cost ~$0.1/point. You are hitting both of my criteria. In fact, my last purchase had about the same numbers. Can you please add to www.rofr.net?

@Oceans82 that's fantastic news! I was told recently by a knowledgeable real estate agent that ROFR on the BLVD currently was $10k. Perhaps it was higher earlier this year and now HGVC end of year budget is running dry. (I hope because I am considering a Vegas property now.)

Another real estate agent told me the same thing! I actually called her back to tell her my deal passed. I'm working on another one for $7K with all closing costs paid except the $560 activation fee. John Kushman from Resort Closings in fantastic.
