Closing Time!

Sandisw et. al.,

Thanks for the feedback!

Title company got right back to me with a fix - I basically grantor/grantee the deed back to myself with the fixed names... Witness/Notary and send it back... I'm guessing this is similar to what is done if you add/remove someone.

The correction should be recorded around a week after original mistake... Hopefully Disney doesn't get confused by it... I think in the end I should be good!
I had to do this recently for a deed and had zero issues with the contract being added to my existing account.

Closing should be at the end of the week, hoping to get access to my account by the end of September! Seller banked the points for me, so I’m not in a huge rush, which is nice.

Contract closed today. International seller had slight delay with notary and FIRPTA.
 
Still waiting on the seller to return their closing docs. Definitely having doubts whether this is going to happen. The deadline is 9/14 to close. I asked the title company today about it and they said they emailed the seller a follow-up email.

Way past acceptable. There needs to be performance clauses in contacts I think 10 business days is plenty.
