Closing Time!

[MickeyMice]

Yes, from what I've seen on the boards, 2 weeks is right. I just got my account set up emails last night (2 weeks from my closing date) and points loaded this morning (after calling). Hang in there!

thanks and congrats! i'm in almost the exact same boat as you so appreciate the info. hopeful i get mine today/tomorrow.

so aggravating to be sitting waiting on seller to return paperwork.......10 days and counting. We had an accepted offer on 11/4 and still have no closing.

I’m so sorry! That is so stressful. I never understood why sellers like to sit on the paperwork. Delays them getting their money. Maybe they wanted to make sure the closing happened in 2022 for tax purposes? Good luck! I hope they return the paperwork soon!

I understand this. We just closed today on a contract that had an accepted offer 10/14. Waiting to update once we get our points!

I know its frustrating and I waited over 3 weeks last summer. But, I do know that sometimes circumstances happen that delay things (I already shared about my dad and rehab and how long it took to sell something because we had to wait for him to be released to get to a notary).

Hopefully soon!!!

I had to send an email asking when the closing docs would be received and then mention that other resale/title companies don't wait until 7 days prior to the closing date to send the necessary documents. But they arrived yesterday and hopefully the closing can occur before the official 1/31 date.

I’m trying to be patient. And understanding. But that is hard when they did the same thing with the last paperwork. They waited until the very last day that the agent gave in the contract. Now we were told they have until our contact date expiration which is another 10 days from now.

I had the same problem with our 11/4 accepted offer. We returned our paperwork same day, seller took weeks. Not sure exactly when they returned but I had checked in between Christmas and New Years and they still hadn't returned. Luckily they must have returned early in the New Year since we closed 2 days ago.

Thinking positive thoughts for you.

For our first purchase, I think it could have gone faster, but I am still very pleased with the timeline. On Friday 1/7 I was on hold with MS 45 minutes pretty late in the afternoon, but I was able to get my points loaded. I started making reservations the next day! We've got enough points to last us for the time being, so I'm hoping to avoid add-on-itis for a while. Wish me luck!

No points yet. Hmmm, I wonder how many days I should wait before calling? Can I use Chat, or must I call in? Though part of me wants to see how long it takes...

I used the chat feature and they were able to add the points via chat.
