Closing Time!

I don't think they send that out over the weekend because I believe that department only works Monday to Friday

I just got my activation email! Just waiting on the member id one!

Thanks, you too! Fortunately I have terrible luck with these resale transactions and gave myself more or less 9 months leeway.

I think if we hit that mark I can safely ask for my money back

You are giving me a run for my money with my longest transaction title.

This was the most annoying resale contract. I wasn’t initially told that the seller was international, but that only caused about an extra 3 week delay. First American added 1-2 weeks of delay at every single step of the process. I bought an Aulani resale contract with First American as the title company at the end of 2023 and it was a great experience so I chose to go with them again, but this time was a very different experience. If I ever buy another Aulani contract, I will try any other title company that offers title insurance for Aulani.

So sorry There are not many options for Hawaii. I used Fidelity Title and they messed up real bad. I would not recommend using them.

Good to know! It really is slim pickings for Hawaii title companies
