Well, an interesting story regarding our contract w/ Fidelity & First American... So, we were notified that we passed ROFR on 4/18 & told then it would take 1-2 weeks for estoppels. Ok, I was patient. I emailed Rachel at Fidelity on day 13 (of the 14 potential days for estoppels) & she said she expected to hear something soon, she'd be in touch. Apparently, that was the day that First American charged our $1k deposit, but we were notified by the bank on day 14 (it was flagged as an odd charge - only reason I know!). Heard nothing on day 14, so on day 15 I emailed Rachel again & heard essentially the same line, w/ an additional "I'll email them". Day 16 comes, several hours pass & I still have heard nothing. So I look up First American-Florida on facebook. They have a page. So I left a comment that I was waiting on a resale contract & that their office seemed to be the holdup. Lo & behold, 3 hrs. later, at almost 5pm, I got an email that we should be receiving our closing docs w/in 3-4 business days (from Fidelity - this was Friday). I updated my FB comment to reflect the notice I'd received. Imagine my surprise today to see that someone at First American has added a comment on FB that I'll be hearing from someone soon, & then w/in the hour, I received our closing docs via email! Squeaky wheel, getting grease, or coinky-dink? I dunno, but I'm geeked as all get out that we're on our way to closing!
