Closing Time!

[Twiggy1953]

Woot woot!!! Congratulations. I’m a 29th person too. What time did you record? I’m hoping they get to me today.

It wasn’t there earlier today but was when I checked about 8.30. The email arrived at 20.45. I’m in England by the way ,so 5 hours in front of Florida.

Strange thing though about the email. The Club ID at the top means nothing to me. It’s definitely not the contract number or our membership ID. Anyone got any ideas or have they just put the wrong contract number on the email.?

If you have trouble with the link to a broker, please just leave it blank. The reason we ask that all links be posted is so new people to the boards don’t see names, just post, and then we have to delete because the broker may be in the boards filter.

When all post the link, it ensures everyone follows the same process. Thank you.

I have to agree with others who have said the title company makes a huge impact on the resale experience. We had a great experience and excellent communication with First American for our Aulani contract that closed recently, but we're not having such a great experience with communication from Mason, unfortunately. (Slow communication and not replying to questions via email has been an issue, but the agent keeps emailing the wrong email for my husband which is totally unacceptable!) I have to say that Jamie from www.dvcstore.com has tried to help & has been amazing, though, and we would no doubt purchase through them again.

Who are you working with at Mason? I wonder if its the same person we had who was just all around awful to communicate with via email. We had to resort to calling him to get our answers.

Marcelo I've heard wonderful things about Cammy, though.

Yup same guy we had. When we called him my husband basically told him how his communication sucked. Let's just say soon after we officially closed and the deed was recorded. It got him moving FAST. I wish there was someone at Mason that we could complain to. I feel like during the entire phase communication is so important and when it fails because of someone whether you are at the beginning phase or at the closing phase it just leave a sour taste and makes you not want to use whichever company you are dealing with at that moment ever again.

Same dude. I finally pressured that broker and threatened to walk. And they closed in a day.

I have my points! I did call MS to get them loaded, but they're in my account now.

Still better than last summer when it took 93 days for my SSR contract.

Also had problems with Marcelo at Mason. He sent me the seller's documents and it kind of dampened my spirit when I saw I got a good deal because the wife had died necessitating a title change and money was still owed on the contract. It's a pretty serious breach of confidentiality. He also kept stating he had sent the buyers' documents to my wife's email via docusign for her to sign and we never got them. I finally just had him use my email for her.

There are a lot of places where that would have been grounds for termination.

Can't say enough good about Cammy, though.

@FSUSammy @Quiltsndisney @stlrod I'm sorry you all had poor experiences with him, too. Since brokers typically use specific title companies, I think it's worth mentioning it to them vs. reporting to the title company. Jamie from www.dvcstore.com said that they have switched title companies in the past based on feedback and declining customer service. She seemed to understand the impact it has on the experience when purchasing from them.

Honestly, I'm just sooo over this entire process and can't wait to close! ...and direct purchases seem much more attractive after experiencing the resale process.
