Closing Time!

It has been a while but a reminder that when posting the broker it’s best to use the website link because it ensures the filter can do its job.

I hate to delete posts when names are used for sites that are not allowed.

My one and only post on this from start to finish. A positive experience all around and I got a great deal imo at $105pp.
 
I am in the process of selling one of my contracts. The title company received my closing documents 9 days ago. I contacted the title company to get an update on the closing. They said they are only waiting on the funds from the buyer, and they have reached out to the buyer as to when to expect funds. How soon are funds normally sent to title companies? Closing is scheduled in about 3 weeks. Thanks

Many buyers will wait until they know a seller has sent in closing documents. However, since your documents are in, then the buyers are delaying for a different reason...but typically, they send either right away or as soon as they know they seller has completed the documents.

The title company said the only thing they needed to close are the funds. So hopefully, buyer sends the funds soon. Thank you for the reply!

Can't wait for the points to show up. No immediate urgency for us, so I am trying to let the process flow naturally... buuuuut..... if chat shows as available online I may just attempt to scratch this itch anyway.

So close! Now just the last step of getting the points on that contract loaded.

Any good realtor would require deadlines to be written in the contract -Such as Buyer must wire funds within 2 business days of the seller returning paperwork.

I am waiting for a seller to return the paperwork and the Title company wants to give them 2 weeks ? This is a US buyer who had plenty of time to get the paperwork notarized. My money was wired and now I sit.

I'm sorry to hear that. I hope you don't have to wait much longer.
 
We closed on the 29th, and have plans to book a February trip with the banked ‘21 points expiring at the end of that month. I know the dvc availability tool (https://tools.dvcvacations.com/points-calculator) supposedly isn’t accurate, but it’s showing less and less green availability for our dates. Meanwhile I’m just over here waiting for our membership to be created (and then to wait for points…ugh!). To be honest, it is starting to stress me out lol. I Feel like by the time I actually FINALLY get access to our points, there will be slim pickings for the rooms and we are going to be SOL with these expiring points.

Anyone else ever been in a similar situation and had it all work out? Any tips?
