just received my closing docs for my first accepted resale contract. has anyone used a mobile/video notary for these packets or do you have to seek one out at the bank or somewhere local to complete? I'm supposed to be getting on a plane in about 3 hours headed to WDW if this frigid weather doesn't get in my way. I hate to hold up the process but I don't have the time to find an in person notary today.

You can usually find a notary at most UPS Stores.

I thought buyers on resale contracts didn't need to notarize anything (unless you are financing?).

I didn't for the SSR I just did, but I need to notarize for the Aulani I'm doing

Ah yes, Hawaii...The price of Paradise.

I'd call your closest UPS store. They can notarize and either scan and email or express envelope the docs for you right there.

As a buyer, I have never had to have any of my buyer closing papers notarized. Mine were all cash though, so maybe if you have financing it has to be? I would not worry too much of waiting a few extra days to get the papers signed.

I used Notarize and it was quick and simple. Their videos walking through the process were basically exactly what the experience was like. The only issue I could see is that on your end everyone needs to be in the same room, you, any cosigner, and the witnesses they can't just be on another computer and virtually call into the call. They are also practically 24/7 I think or at least they have very long hours I know I did mine at like 10PM my time. I think it was like $30 + $10 for each additional stamp.

Updated.... Deed recorded. Hoping for contract to show up in my account and points to be loaded quickly. Looking to book for September at the 7 month window and need the extra points for the 1 bedroom that I want.

Tried chatting to get the points added but the CM said I could try calling and wouldn't add them. Either way pretty quick considering the long weekend and all.

Well now to book some vacations with all my loaded points

I always gently lean on anyone I’m paying a fee to provide a service. Not rude or overbearing, just a friendly “Hey, when can I expect to see XXXX?”

 

[Kcasey02]

You’ve inspired me to follow up earlier than I thought I would Just emailed now!

I'm just waiting for my contract to appear

 

[Kcasey02]

Apparently, the person handling our paperwork is out sick until next week and they have our closing already scheduled for mid March! I was hoping we would close within 3-4 weeks.

To say I’m disappointed is an understatement — especially after looking at other time frames from others on this thread. I emailed back to share that frustration and request a different closing agent — am I being unreasonable? Thanks for any feedback, I’m new to this!

Good luck!
