I do not understand this reply. My comments above were correct as of the date of posting. They are in fact still correct with the exception of price, which has increased since that time. Please elaborate.
Vince,
Actually, your post was incorrect as of the date of posting. In fact, the enforcement policy only changed as of Feb 21, 2007 when notices were provided to all resale brokers and transfer companies that Bluegreen was going to enforce the no transfer rule.
Even when those notices came out, I wasn't sure that the changes were going to happen until owner services told me that they were going to enforce it and how they were going to enforce it.
However, given the issues in Resort Title and how long it is taking to close transfers, I am not sure if they are yet indeed enforcing the rules. My guess is that Bluegreen will pick a date after which they will enforce the no-transfer rule.
It is true that the sales department was SELLING and telling owners in owner updates that combinations and preferred owner status would not transfer in early 2006. And, I have no doubt that the sales team thought Bluegreen was going to enforce it. But, they didn't for system reasons which is not unusual in a big company.
For now, all ownerships still combine. That is the current policy. It's just that you cannot get preferred owner status or Bonus time without buying from Bluegreen or a Bluegreen authorized reseller.
