good call on changing the title company. I wish we would have! We passed ROFR only one day after you and just got closing docs yesterday! I hope my sellers don't take as long as yours did to return their docs!
Definitely would have been nice to be told upfront I had a choice in the matter being the buyer, especially when the title company they use has a reputation for being slow. Thankfully I read it on here!
Good luck with your closing! I’ve given up on trying to speed up the process in order to stay sane. Ordered a Dooney Disney bag instead that should be here this week - figure that’s much cheaper than adding on points while I wait. haha

Still waiting for sellers to return closing documents and it’s been how many weeks?? 🤨
Same thing is happening to me. Was hoping closing would be easier...

Well imagine if they do 10 contracts a day and each one is average 100 points.

Thats 1000 points they need to unwrap and check. So yes, that why it takes so long :)

They get through a lot of bubble wrap I am told
And how can they NOT pop the bubbles?
Think about how long that takes. A big tension release they deserve.
 
Hurry up and wait some more.

They are advising 21 days until I have a Disney account. That would be fantastic!! Then I just have to wait for the points to get boxed up and delivered Mickey white glove style.
 
Hopefully things are moving a bit faster...

114 days as of today and I am not even half way !

It is very frustrating their lack of response, emails unanswered, promises not fulfilled, I want to back out just because of the horrible service!
Fidelity is a bit slow. When I hadn't recieved my closing docs and others had alreay closed (that passed the same day as me) I reached out and they "expedited" my paper work. Now I've been bugging First American every couple of days because they don't update (although when I email my agent she responds quickly, just isn't proactive). Finally have a closing date of the 21st. I say be the squecky wheel.
