Closing Time!!

Update: Another 3 weeks have gone by but feeling a bit of progress. Wish we could of returned the docs faster but we needed a notary and it was a weekend. Was really hoping to go in early May but I would say we prob have another 30 days before all of this is done.

I'm getting nervous. We have a trip planned around Halloween and this is our first contract so we need to close to book our DVC (we currently have a cash registration booked). I just checked our week and it is close to full everywhere. We passed ROFR on 3/17 but haven't received anything yet. I'm worried we are going to miss out on being able to book. :(

OMG I just got your message! Great news! I am a few days behind you :)
 

We used the same broker and title company as well. After my contract took 15 days to be sent to ROFR I contacted the VP of the company, Mary. Since our conversation communicate has improved significantly! On your contract you should have a contact for First American. I found our agent at First American to be quick to respond; not as quick as processing paperwork it seems than other companies; but I checked in REGULARLY. We passed ROFR on 3/3; estoppel was 3/8 and I had closing papers 3/16. We closed 3/23 and our deed was recorded 3/24. Feel free to message me if you want the first American number I have :-)

I have Fidelty and First Ameican Title. I am looking at the contract and don't see my contact at First American's name. Did you just contact them directly and discover their information?

Welcome! You will find the wait here is painful, but updates are exciting :)
 
So Saturday, we can still hear news on Saturday right? It is a holiday weekend though, so it will probably be crickets.
 
Captains Log StarDate 20210403: Still no reply from headquarters on my email 6 days ago. The crews moral is good but they are antsy waiting to know if their pass in 20220111 will be granted so they can enjoy leave in the the tropics. I may need to go to sick bay as I cannot get the song “Mele Kalikimaka” out of my head. I am afraid if the pass is not approved it may be too late for me.
Signed Capt. J. Tiberius C.
