Coming back again with more info. Wanted to wait until all the dust had settled.
The two Flamingos have finally flown the coop!
We decided to lower one to $1000 rather than pay MFs for another year. I had considered the 2020 MFs as sunk cost.
Almost immediately got a bit. It came to the broker through MLS. The net result was $400 for our broker, $400 for other broker, $200 for HGVC (not sure why). Net to us was $0. However, full reimbursement of the $1087 2020 MFs. I considered that a good deal and went for it. Started the process. Then decided to lower the second one to $1000. Got a hit like 2 days later. Same source, same deal. Grabbed it.
The first one was super-smooth. Offer August 3. Papers came signed by buyer, We turned around bu Aug. 4. ROFR waiver August 5. Final docs sent to HGVC by August 12. Transferred out August 19.
Second was less smooth. This all started about August 6 or so, Finally closed out October 11 (truly gone from the account). Buyers kept delaying (for no reason) getting final docs done. Broker called with a "we're going to void the deal" message. They gave her a credit card that day
Check for the MFs is on the way.
So, now down to 5250 W. 57th,
9600 (2x4800) Platinum at Boulevard.
Awaiting ROFR on very cheap 5000 pt. Gold at Boulevard,
Cheers.
