Congratulations! Pretty quick sale too! I have a question. How did you get the closing documents so quickly after ROFR? We are also working with Mason and passed ROFR on Friday and they told us we have to wait on estoppel which could be two more weeks before they will send us the documents. We are already closing in on 30 days since we made our offer so waiting another two weeks then however long it takes to get the account set up and points seems tortuous. I was wondering how yours happened so quickly? Is it because you are an existing member?

Mason told us the same thing but then we had everything 2-3 days later. I think they just say that to keep themselves from getting a lot of questions in case it takes longer.

Thanks. Today will be 5 days since we passed ROFR. Our broker made it seem like we’d get the contract “within a few days” so we were kind of shocked when we got the email from Mason indicating that we now had to go through another step that could last another couple weeks. Then when I got on this thread it appears that most people had their contract within 2-3 days so it just seems we are unlucky I guess. The unevenness of the timing from contract to contract kind of stinks. I’m quickly discovering patience is not a virtue of mine.

I learned the same thing in this process! We're waiting for our membership number and the points and every step feels like an eternity. I will point out that they don't probably count the weekends and Monday was President's Day, so you're really not that far behind!

We're in the same boat. Been 6 days since passing ROFR and still waiting on closing documents. Our broker said it could take 2-3 weeks for the estoppel to arrive, but I see people in here using the same broker and title companies getting closing documents the next day. I've also seen some that take 9 days though.

OK. I guess I just need to cool my jets and get some patience while my inner toddler screams "NO FAIR!!! I want mine now too!" Taming that inner toddler can be a bit of a challenge, lol. Good luck to you on your estoppel.

I had never heard of this title company but they have been very fast and efficient. They also have a website where they update the progress of the sale, so it's been a good experience and very transparent. We're in the home stretch now. Almost there!

42 days and counting. I modified the list to show my experience as a new resale member. I was surprised that the first time I logged in my membership card was blue, but it has since changed to white to reflected my "resale" ownership.

This is so frustrating! Our contract is showing in our account but we are still waiting for our points. My husband decided that he wanted to "gift" me a last minute trip to DW with our new points as a birthday trip for my daughter and me (I'm turning 40 in early April and he wanted this to be my gift). The only week I could go is my spring break, since I'm a teacher. There is availability to book this last minute trip but we need points from this new contract to do it and they aren't loaded yet. He called and asked if he could get them loaded now so he could book the trip but they wouldn't do it. We live far from DW, so our only option is to fly and if we have to wait another couple of weeks, it would be impossible to get airfare since the flights are nearly full. Is it worth calling and asking? Is this an impossible task to book about 30 days out or less? Are we playing with fire by maybe having points in holding? I don't know. Maybe we should just forget the whole thing. I've never dealt with a last minute DVC trip, so this is all new to me... and VERY stressful for those of us who have to fly.
