Yes, I had that happen with our contract a few weeks ago. I asked for Mason and was told no. It's yet another broker I can't name here (we've used a lot of those
). I didn't even ask with our DVC Resale Market contract, as I was under the impression that they always go through their own title company, Magic Vacation Title. I just rolled with it. As I said before, at the end of the day a couple of weeks is no big deal. It's just interesting the disparity in timeframe.
I'm in the same boat as you. Passed ROFR on Wednesday, got closing documents that afternoon, and returned promptly. I was informed that they are still waiting for the seller's closing docs as well. Funny how as a buyer we are quick to return, but the sellers aren't as quick as we are. If I can close by next Friday, I would be happy.
So fingers crossed. We’ve been waiting for a SSR small contact for awhile to add onto our OKW resale. It was posted for about 5 minutes before we purchased. When you know, you know 
. Now the dreaded waiting game
We used dvc resale market and their listings show if it's an international seller. We just lost our main contract to ROFR on Wednesday which apparently was a not so good day due to a bloodbath from ROFR. We had emailed our broker to see if he could see what they had for international sellers. But we ended up finding our contact before he could get back to us. It's the same use year as our 50 pointer that passed last week and loaded and is a
seller. Fingers crossed 
this one comes through.International sellers
Congratulations. That’s a great price for a medium sized contract!
Oh, I saw this loaded international contract too! I was going to bid on it if my first one didn’t pass. It did, though. Good luck! I’m sure you’ll make it with this one!
I saw this asked before - the consensus was that Disney doesn't really care if you're new or existing, if they want the contract, they take it. It seems the only thing that is consistent is that they don't take international seller contracts.... other than that, there's no rhyme or reason. IMO, buying a smaller contract to get your feet wet opens you up to be able to buy smaller chunks of points direct so I think it's a great strategy. We plan to add points in small chunks direct going forward.
Same as me with my AKV and SSR. I have added some more BWV and am planning on adding PVB with the intent of selling some SSR and AKV, but I always find a "use" for the points. "We can sell them after this next big trip....."
We just had our 50 point AKV contract pass a week ago (we were still waiting on our 160 point that had gone to ROFR 2 weeks earlier but ended up getting taken). We are not existing DVC members so I don't think that matters at all.
Thank you. Glad yours passed so we could bid on this one
