Closing Time!!

[cmarsh31]

How disappointing! There was someone else dealing wit this same issue. Seems to be slipping through more often.

It was probably me... we've been back and forth for over a week now. I just kept pushing and the $195 seemed like the easiest way to go. I don't care if Fidelity, the seller, or they split it - I just don't want to pay it myself!

Yikes! I read your stats. We are on the same waiting game. My closing docs were received by the title company yesterday. It's all in the seller's hands. I hope he wants his money badly!

We are on the same time frame. Anxiously waiting to get it all done & points loaded! I have a quick trip to the Mouse House with some girlfriends starting this weekend so hopefully that will get my mind off of it or it might make me more anxious to get it all done faster! lol

Man you all have some serious patience...these deed mix-ups, “in the mail” responses, and pop up vacations by the sellers would make me lose my mind and take my hard earned money else where.

That sucks! Did you check the county registrar to make sure the corrected deed is up? Those hiccups really hurt timelines for sure! Strange that the deed was wrong as if they had estoppel it should be correct. I wonder if it was a title agent typo.

I checked this morning and it is still the original that was recorded on 3/8. I wish there would be some way we could get reimbursed for the lost points since we paid more due to having the points already banked.

That $195 is annoying! I think it's just a way to get more $$.

Pretty amazing they were already loaded. Disney turning a new page?

I mean, it feels like it would make sense to just create the account and get the details handled all at the same time. *shrug*

OK - I think that's a new record!?
I was 91 Days on my first resale, 93 on the second, and I'm currently 39 Days from offer on the third, and awaiting Closing Docs. You must be very happy with that contract!

Hi all! Friendly reminder to please post the link to brokers in this thread. I hate to have to delete everyone’s hard work.

It just helps to ensure that the filter can do its job.

It appears that right now they are on deeds recorded on 3/24. Ours was recorded on 3/26....so just waiting

 

[justadreamaway77]

I am thinking Saturday. I closed a week after you and you closed last Saturday so that is my feeling.

Have you heard anything? Yesterday someone with a deed recorded on 3/24 had their contract/points loaded. There are a lot of deeds for 3/24 though, I counted 102!

Some quick observation regarding my purchase experience for the two contracts:

resale company:
www.dvcresalemarket.com Very quick response even during nights and weekends
www.fidelityrealestate.com Depends on the agent, Shawn is reasonably prompt (fidelity does not work on weekends and nights). The other agent however response is pretty slow.

Title company:
Mason: Very fast and prompt processing, everything is online/electronic. Did make 2 mistakes on my AKL contract and then was corrected quickly.
Magic Vacation Title: Processing seem to be slower. Had to push a little to get things moving faster.
