Hyatt Beach House

[mesamirage]

Thanks Cat... I agree that the boards should remain nice... I guess I shouldn't let certain points of views and replies bother me. I'm glad I can help if/when my comments may have helped. To be honest, only having owned Hyatt for 3 years now, I have learned alot from others... Seth was a fantastic help on my first purchase and he didn't even have a vested interest, he took my phone calls, answered questions.. etc.. that really is the spirit of TUG. Second, Kal has always been a HUGE resource for Hyatt info and is always willing to help. I think TUG works best when how "good" of a deal you may or may not have got is left out of the conversation.... many of our best TUG members made their first purchases from the developer... its what we learn from TUG members that makes TUG wonderful..... and I still have alot to learn.

I have decided to sell my Starwood interest, only because we can't afford to many timeshares... or even more important we can't use all the time we have! So we sold our Westin Kierland unit (reluctantly) so that we could pick up another Hyatt week and be basically mostly invested into one system we like. We will keep our Sheraton Desert Oasis units... they are the little cheap units that could! They pull AMAZING trades at reasonible MFs and entry costs. Even the lock off pulls 2 bedrooms Westins and Marriotts... and we have had luck renting them from Spring training in March as well.

Happy Hunting!!

What timeshare company did you buy this trought? What timeshare companies did you look at on the internet?

I got it from one of the internet resale sites where you leave your info and the owner calls you back. They had it listed for $6400 and the ad said they were willing to negotiate. When they called I offered $5000 and they said the lowest they would go was $5500. The person said they had a banked week and they would give it to me. When I asked how much all the closing cost would be, they said they would pick it up.

I don't know their situation but they probably needed some quick cash or just couldn't use it anymore and didn't want to keep paying maintenance.
Whatever the reason I am happy.

I had something similar happen when I bought the Grande Vista. I seen an ad on an internet website listing an every year gold week for $5000. I sent the person an email and offered $4000. They emailed me back and said the best they could do is $4500, but they would pay the closing cost.

Now this deal gets even stranger. It turned out that the agent for the seller was in Mexico. So, I got nervous and said I wasn't going to send my money to someone in Mexico that I didn't even know. The seller actually lives in The Villages in Florida. That made me even more suspicious so I told them I didn't want to go through with the deal. The agent emailed me back again and said the seller was willing to complete the closing without me sending any money. They told me once Marriott had completed the transfer, I could send the money.

Well I waited thinking this was a joke and a few months later I received an email from the timeshare company stating the transfer had taken place. A few days later I got the letter from Marriott modifications confirming it. I then sent the money. This all happened this year.

Thanks for your help.

Just to let you know I just came to an agreement with the seller for $5500 at the Windward Pointe. This is an annual Silver week. They are going to pick up the closing cost including the Hyatt transfer fee and it includes a banked week.

Sorry guys I am a member of the family.


Enjoy!

Make sure you report back on the ROFR status. If it gets thru Hyatt it's a good price. If you plan on using the owned unit every year things will work out fine for you. Otherwise we'll be awaiting all the questions on how to best work thru the points program for multiple stays.

We'll also anticipate the routine concern that you don't have enough points to get the full value out of the system.

I have a question for you now Kal. When you want to rent out your week with Hyatt are you only allowed to rent out the actual week and unit it shows on your deed. Or can you also reserve another week at another resort and rent that out as well.

The reason I ask is I got in trouble with Interval World by making an exchange and then renting out the week on Ebay. I gave the renter a guest certificate from interval. However, it turned out the person that rented it from me on Ebay called Interval and asked them some questions. Interval didn't tell the renter I wasn't suppose to rent out exchanged weeks, but they suspended my account. After I talked to them they reinstated it.

So I was thinking that since Interval is not involved with Hyatts internal trading that you may be able to do this.

 

[Kal]

You can ONLY rent out the unit/week that you own. The HVC rules are very clear on this.

What a wild transaction. So what exact internet site did you buy from?

thanks

I found the ad for the Grande Vista purchase on The Resort Network website and the broker was Caribbean Resales.

[Kal]

Even if there is some substance to the fabled purchase, it won't be completed until after Hyatt's 30-day ROFR review period.

We're suppose to play nice here. No reason for name calling or shouting.

He may have found a great deal. Now we have to wait to see if it passes ROFR. Just because you might believe it's a deal that's to good to be true is little reason to start calling names or typing in something more than caps, which indicates shouting.

I will post it whether the deal makes it through Hyatt ROFR or not. The sales agreement will be sent to me next week to sign. Then I will send it back and wait.

With Marriott if the closing company emails the request to them it used to take 3 to 4 days to get a reply. However, I believe it takes longer than that now because of all the request. I don't know how long Hyatt takes but I believe I read here up to a month.

 

[mesamirage]

Can you at least let us know what where you found the posting that you bid on? The actual website, no harm in that right? or if its a broker can I have the contact info, since I am looking to add another week, no harm in that right?

Thanks in advance.

If Hyatt waives their right to purchase, send me a pm and I will see if we can work out a deal.

Enjoy!

I don't want a deal.. just the contact info.... Thx

 

[benjaminb13]

Cmon Saturn,
easy enough question to answer...
If you dont----- we will know - what we suspected all along - that you are not being truthful

 

[saturn28]

Yeah right. Can you say not going to happen.
:hysterical:

And if you don't believe me. So what, do you really think I care.

Do you think I am here seeking your approval like some adolescent child. I am here to get info and if someone is interested in my experience or view, I will give it. If their not than just skip over my post and threads.

If you want to find deals on resales just do a google search for the timeshare you are looking to buy. It's that simple.

Now quit bumping this thread to the top every day. Since I won't supply you with the sellers contact info, the thread should have no interest to you. Just let it die.

However, for those interest in what makes it through ROFR I will update once I get word.


Enjoy!

Here is a little information for those of you that are interested in searching the titles for timeshares you are interested in purchasing in Key West. You will be able to see if there are any mortgages or liens on the week, which may be helpful when purchasing a week, and the price that was paid.

This is also very helpful if you can't find your deed and need a copy of it for a resale. The closing companies will charge you for doing this so why not do it yourself.

What I'm seeing here is someone who wants information from knowledgeable owners but is unwilling to share any information he has with others. As we've noticed various TUG posters have been very willing to help the poster, but the poster would not provide a shred of information to anyone who has provided help.

It seems very odd that the website where a person might find an opportunity to find another Hyatt cannot be provided.

******
Note to self: Disregard any further questions about the Hyatt System from selected posters.

 

[myip]

Why get mad at Saturn28? I also would not disclose the site where I buy the timeshare until the timeshare registered to me and closed. What if someone else offer more money and the seller decide not to complete the transaction. Look what happen when someone disclose that he get a deal for $5000 for 2000 Hyatt points. Noone believe him.

You just have to look around everywhere for deal. Deal may be at one site only once. All the frequent used resale site is posted in the Buy and Sell Forums.

Saturn28,
Good luck with your purchase. Let us know whether it pass ROFR.

 

[benjaminb13]

No one is mad at Saturn- We are just on to him- He got upset when I called him on it-
You believe him-
I d like to- but I dont-
No big deal
I agree with Kal
This is a forum where people share-
