Wow. A 9/30 deed recorded date and got the contract showing 10/13. That has to be one of the fastest I've ever seen on these boards at only 13 days. I'm also a 9/30 deed recorded date so hopefully I'll also see mine any day now.

Nevermind--figured out my own question.

 

[Sandisw]

Refresh my memory please...when the contract shows up online, will it just show the contract number? Or does it list the contract and the points that are represented, such as 0 out of 160...and then the points get added later?

I was thinking it just showed only the contract number with no mention of the points yet.

It shows the contract and then for each UY on the dashboard, and in your Vacation points, it will show all 0 until the points are loaded by MS.

I got a little nervous when I saw the zero. LOL.

Fidelity is known for being a little slower from what I’ve seen too

 

[DKZB]

why? who would you use?

Some things are out of your control, like when the seller decides to return the seller docs but, as a buyer, you can choose your title company.
On a contract I recently closed, Fidelity had suggest First American Title but a lot of people have had a good experience with Mason Title so i requested that they handle the closing.
I actually found out I passed ROFR when I received the closing package from them the same day I passed ROFR.
Take a look through these posts and you will notice how many title companies take days to get the closing package to the buyer.
I found Mason to be a very small amount more money but I think you get what you pay for!

 

[cate2]

why? who would you use?

As the above poster said, I would request Mason as I've heard good things on this forum about them. Dealing with the broker, Fidelity, was fine. I would buy from them again but the title company they suggested was terrible. The was no communication unless we imitated it, I feel like our file just sat there.

Was a little bit of a struggle getting my points loaded. First time I called the day after my contract was showing the CM I talked to said they weren't able to do it yet, but then I called again today and the CM was able to get it done for me while I was on the call with them. Overall fairly quick and painless for resale.

 

[LadybugsMum]

I'm loving these current day counts. I'm hoping to get through ROFR and closing before Dec 1 so I don't have to pay the 2022 MF at closing.
