Closing Time!!

[princesscinderella]

HOME RUN!

Yesterday, I couldn't get a chat CM to help me. I couldn't even get as far as being put on hold when I called Member Services! I just got the "all of our agents are assisting other members, please call again later." Repeatedly.

Today, I set an alarm to go off 15 minutes before they opened the phone lines. I timed my first call from connect to the "Sorry we're closed" message. Then set a second alarm for 1 minute before the phone lines opened. Connected right away!

Member Services Agent Kara was super kind and helpful. She called another department to help me get points loaded and book 5 of my 7 requested dates and waitlist the other two.

It'll be at Saratoga as everything was pretty booked, but I'm still really excited. If my other two waitlist dates don't pan out, I'll begrudgingly split stay in a cash room.

Interesting. Same broker/title co. for me and same ROFR date, but no estoppel when I checked a few days ago with Magic Vacation Title. Hopefully, mine isn't too far behind yours.

Fingers crossed! There seems to be zero rhyme and even less reason to when things get done in this process.

Me too. Same broker and title companies and same ROFR date, I've been checking every other day since last week... no estoppel either. Hoping for some news tomorrow or beginning of next week...

Are most people finding they need to email for a member I.D. if they're new members? Just wondering if I should fire off an email as soon as my activation email arrives.

Is there a way to see when estoppel was received? Other than asking the title company?

Not that I know of... I e-mail the title company every other day now, but I feel like the anxious kid in the car... Are we there yet?

*found out 4/1 that closing will be delayed until end of May due to an undisclosed existing reservation* We were on track for a super-fast transaction!

5/28 - I haven't hesitated to email and ask for updates. I was successful in getting the $195 admin fee covered by Fidelity/Seller (I don't care who pays it, as long as it isn't me). Knowing the existing reservation ends on Memorial Day, I returned final paperwork & check on Monday and seller confirmed sending closing docs via FedEx today. Hopefully by Tuesday we can actually start moving forward again.

I emailed my broker. I worked with www.DVCResaleMarket.com and their admin department notified me that our estoppel was received and they would have closing docs out by the end of the week. This was Tuesday and I received my closing docs Wednesday.

I had the same problem. In order to post links you should have at least 10 posts and the ones on DVC thread don’t count. I went to the test thread and upped my post count there.

We are in the same position with same broker/title waiting on Estoppel. Passed ROFR on 5/5.

11 days after deed recorded to membership created is a new record it think with how slow it’s been lately.

I really pushed it because I panicked.

We were already planning on being there on a particular week in November - reserved rooms and tickets already before deciding to buy resale. With having offered and accepted back in March, and having to sign an addendum, things were resolving after the 7 month mark. And when I looked, availability was next to nil.

So I called (after trying to do this via chat, and calling several times) and kindly asked if they could help me out. And they sprinkled the pixie dust!

If there wasn't a time and availability crunch, I would have just waited.

Have you heard from the broker or title company?
Today is my day 22 after ROFR pass... just heard from them... no estoppel yet.
