Closing Time!!

I also got the 3-5 (weekday) days email too. I'm just relieved that they finally received my sellers docs. I'll be stalking the Orange County Comptroller's website now.
I already started doing this! I know that it won't show up for a few days but I just can't help myself!
 
I called member services today as it's been 11 days since my contract closed on the comptroller website. I was told Disney received the documents on 7/6 and they are currently working on documents received on 7/3. Good news for anyone who closed on our about July 1... Getting closer...one baby step at a time!

Has anyone else, that used First American, had to keep waiting for closing docs? I know when our broker received them (7/10), but she said First American will email them to me. Here it 7/14, still waiting.

Hmm, not sure about the "broker received them" part, unless you mean your signed contract? We were with FA and from our notice of ROFR waiver until we received the closing Docs email was about 3 1/2 weeks. Our signed closing Docs were delivered to FA on 6/12 and we closed 7/11. Not super fast. Hang in there I feel your angst o_O

I e-mailed broker about the status of our closing (ROFR passed 6/16). She told me closing docs were reviewed at her office 7/10, but I had to get them from FA via e-mail.

My closing docs were dated 6/18 and I did not get them emailed to me until 6/28. I sent them back next day and we are still supposedly waiting for seller documents. However, from reading this board I think a lot of us are all in the same boat with this same company. It does seem to all close eventually just slowly....
 
Just heard from the title company that a final point activity was ordered from Disney. Have to wait for that before the contract is sent to the county for recording. Isn't that done during estoppel?
 
One more step! We received an email this morning that our closing documents and cashier $ was received and processed. They said they are now waiting on the Sellers. Our sellers were great with responding upon the offer being accepted, so here is hoping!
We waited 25 days from passing ROFR to Estoppel and honestly, if it wasn't for this board to advise to email FA and keep on it, I think we would have still been waiting.

Thank you guys for all the continued help!
 
I am a current member who purchased resale. My resale is same use year.

Can anyone who recently closed who were prior members tell me how long it took for the points to be in your account? I've heard it's a little quicker for those with same use year, who titled documents the same. Thanks!

I'm waiting too. We passed ROFR on June 19th. Still haven't received the docs to sign and going on 25 days. Bonnie at Fidelity said she sent them back to them approved on Tuesday 7/11 and I should have them today 7/14. So disappointed it's taking this long and don't they cost more than another title companies?

I closed 4/10/17 on my add on resale contract, it was recorded and to DVC 4/11/2017. The points were loaded in my account the evening of 4/21/2017. I know it was evening because I'd checked 3 pm my time (6 pm East Coast time) and they weren't loaded, I checked after work again which would have been 9 or 10 pm East Coast time (not expecting anything as it was long after close of business) and they were loaded - sweet, so I quick fast used those points to make a reservation :). So 10 days for me.

I just got mine in an email.
 
So after having no luck the last 2 days suddenly the stars aligned and I am in. To help others our deed was on the website on 6/29/17. Today I called and used option 2 and got my new membership number, while I was on hold with member services disney linked both our contacts together! I didn't do it, despite 2 different use years and being titled differently they are both there, asking me which contract I want to use to make reservations. The new one shows zero points but since its an October use year with no 2016 points to use that is what I expected.

Yay, called again today and not there for me.

That's great news! The DVC representative today had me worried. She told me it would take 3-4 weeks.

Got word on Thursday that all paperwork was in and to expect closing in 3-5 days. Surprisingly got an email before 8 am this morning that we were closed. It's even been posted on the Comptroller's site.

Almost at the end! When can I start calling Disney to see if some grateful MS member will give me my #? Flights were just released for April so I'm biting at the bit to line everything up!!!

Man, in this process we are finding out the squeaky wheel gets the grease. We had our closing documents and our $$ in day after we received them by email from First American. Our sellers.... not so much.
We emailed today to, "check on things". The company that we bought the contract from also said they would contact the sellers today to find out if they have been sent.

Squeaky wheel....
 
I'm trying to be patient but I am getting to the point of not even wanting this contract anymore. We started this process in the beginning of May and Ive been waiting three weeks now for the seller to return their documents. Anytime I contact the agent or title company it takes days to respon and it is short answers and they seem annoyed. What is the point where I can just say I don't want to do business with these people anymore????
