Closing Time!!

As a seller who took over a week one time, it had to do with coordinating work schedules with hubby to get to a notary. Some places, given these times, it’s even harder.

^ THIS.

The notary hours are so hit and miss where we live and most of them are only available during the normal work day. As a buyer, I wish we could have turned in the documents same day, but it took 3 days for us to be able to make it to a notary.

In addition, my last contract that i bought, the closing docs went to my junk folder. No one contacted me wondering what was going on and why after 3 weeks of not hearing from me that I did not return them. I would have returned them right away had I saw them. I was about to reach out to the company asking for an update but did a "DVC" search in my email and the documents were there.

Yikes! Just got an email from title company (closed on 2/25 and I could not understand why the points were still in my account (I'm the Seller.) ) Was told the transfer can take up to 45 days. That seems insane bc it would take even longer to appear in Buyer's account, i would think. Really worried the Buyer May miss making a reservation, it's taking so long. For me, I'm closing on a house in two weeks and would love to receive my check.
 
Finally an update on the first contract. Took the sellers quite a while, but finally made it.

Question for the experts. So I got the email today that has the Club ID# for both me and my husband but only I only got one activation code. I used it for my account but it won't work for my husband. Does he need his own activation code? How do we go about getting him one?

Edit: Nevermind, he just picked up the phone and called them. I was surprised we got someone right away! Apparently they didn't have his email address so they didn't send a code for him 🤷‍♀️

I have past contracts bought direct from Disney with June UY and Dec UY. This resale for HH is a Sept UY, so I will now have 3 different DVC account #'s - because I 'll have 3 different Use Years

I asked my title company what was our chances of closing before the 4/19 date on our paperwork. She said the Sate of Hawaii has to approve some tax paperwork which could take up to 2 weeks. And of course waiting on the sellers...

WHAT?! I totally feel like your profile pic right now? What is the deal with Aulani closings? I must have missed that in my research!

I missed it too. I feel silly for jumping through hoops to get my docs notarized/shipped and all my money wired the day I got them all. Sitting here wondering if the sellers will pull out once they see their tax bill!

I feel for you! I am now going to have to look up and see what the process is! Seriously I had no idea it would be any different!
