Closing Time!!

Add me to the list of those who are very disappointed with the service from TT&M. We were also told to expect our closing docs in 4-6 weeks after ROFR. When we passed the 6-week mark I asked how things were progressing and was told not to expect anything until the 2nd week of January! I wanted to get this wrapped up this calendar year and I imagine our buyer did too.

Can I as when you passed ROFR?
 
Oct 28 so we're at 7 weeks and still waiting... I'm being told it will be at least another 3 weeks, making it TEN weeks from ROFR to receiving the closing docs. I find that totally unacceptable.

We're 11/9. 10 weeks would put me into almost Feb. I'm starting to worry if I'll have enough time to book our April 17-22 trip via points. I know the 1brs at SSR should be available (hopefully). But having never booked there, I don't have experience. 10 weeks? Do they plan on cutting a little of the closing costs?
 

passed ROFR November 11 & received closing documents today, December 17. *** is the Title Co. will post full timeline once all complete.

She's the seller not the buyer so typically wouldn't be paying closing costs.

As for yours, it's very frustrating and a true exercise in patience to get through the process. Since your closing date isn't for another month, legally you have nothing you can do but wait. I do like @pangyal 's idea of emailing them if it goes past your closing date to request refund on closing costs. That should get them moving.
 
We finally closed, no notification from *** or my broker, I just happen to search the records site and saw it. We recorded on 12/3.

Yes, I was extremely disappointed in TT&M. I think I got my closing documents 8 weeks after ROFR, but then they sat on them for another month before they actually closed. And the sellers closing documents went out a week after mine.

Yay!!!! Let us know what you were able to book. I think I am about a week behind you, so hopefully, I get my member number next week. We are trying to plan a trip for late spring/early summer.
 
I can tell you that my deed was recorded on the OCC site Dec 14th and I already see the new contract on my DVC home page. No points loaded as yet though... This from ROFR date Oct 1 2015.
How do you already have a DVC homepage? Did you already have an existing contract?

Just curious bc my deed posted on the 14th too.

Hooray!!!! Happy booking.

My husband is running the Star Wars rebel challenge in April. I called and got everything set up really quickly, and on the phone I started the booking process. Only problem was that there wasn't any studios available for my entire stay. We're planning on staying 4/15-18 and the night of the 16th has no availability anywhere in a studio. We don't need a one bedroom so I don't want to waste points on that. I'll probably just book a regular value resort for the trip.

I was able too book our summer vacation so that was a plus.
 
Well that is pretty good. I know that is a busy weekend. So, I am glad you got something.
I wait listed our dates so I'm hoping it comes through.

The bonus was that our summer trip was available at Boardwarlk which I've heard is hard to get 7 months out, so I was very excited!

Why don't u book the other nights and waitlist the 16th? U have a decent chance of it coming through. U would be surprised how often people cancel and rebook things!! Then book the cash reservation as a back up in case your waitlist doesn't come through. U have til 31 days b4 your trip to cancel and the points get deposited back in your account. I see you have a march use year...were your 2015 points banked? Your past the deadline but I've heard that they sometimes make exceptions for buyers.

Yes the remaining 2015 points had been banked before we purchased the resale. They showed up in our account without a problem. I know some people's resale contracts with banked points were not seeing them.

So if I book 4/15 and 4/17 would those be separate reservations? And then if the 4/16 comes through it'd be another separate reservation? Would we be in the same studio the whole stay or have to move?

Yes it is a seperate reservation but if waitlist comes through, you call member services and they link it together for you into 1 reservation no problem (as long as it is same room type and same resort i.e. Deluxe Studio at SSR) I just did this for my November "jersey week" reservation. You have a MUCH better chance of 1 night coming through on a waitlist then 3 consecutive nights. You can have 2 different waitlists at the same time, by the way. So you could waitlist the 16th for a studio at SSR and also do a seperate waitlist for say the 3 nights at OKW or somewhere else that could possibly come through. You can be very specific too, and say on there if the OKW waitlist comes through to replace your 2 nights booked at SSR.
 
Thank you jnjhuddle! I did just that. Hopefully it comes through. I also wait listed the 3 nights at Okw just in case.
