Re: Resale Woes.... Orlando Sentinel Article Dec.17,2007 (by Orville F.):
I certainly don't feel that ROFR protects the resell value of any resorts. I don't even bid on these resorts because I don't want my money tied up for two months.
Besides that, the seller doesn't get a dime more than what he would have received from the person that doesn't mind wasting his time, energy and money tryng to buy something he won't end up getting.
The only protection ROFR offers is to the Resort as it pushes most folks into just buying from them, and at a huge premium to the value, I might add.
The resort's resell may hold up better than others, but that is because of the Unit and Location. Some people want the luxury while on vacation and are willing to pay for it.
