Made Offer on Contract, But Don't See it on the Comptroller Website

[DonMacGregor]

As the title suggests, I just made an offer on a contract on another site (sigh). When I got the Purchase Agreement, with the current owner's names, I wandered over to the Orange County Comptroller site and did a search for the Title. Curiously, I don't see this particular contract listed under the owners identified on the Purchase Agreement. Has anyone ever run into this before? I guess I'll be calling the broker and Mason Title in the morning.

Perhaps there's an addendum or title change filed that you missed in your search. I'm sure the title agency can show it to you.

I hope so. I cross-referenced both owners, with middle initials and without, and came up empty. saw other contracts, but not this one. We shall see.

Could be a trust, a corporation, etc

What resort? Not all DVC contracts will show on the Orange County site. Like Vero, HH, Grand Cal, Hawaii...

It’s BRV.

That should show, did you try a wildcard search using only the last name?

Would a trust be identified as such on the purchase agreement, or would it just list the

It’s “Smith”, so that’s a no-go. It’s a husband and wife, and I see other contracts they own.

 

[DonMacGregor]

Well, it just went off to ROFR, so we shall see.

The Orange County Comptroller does make mistakes when it comes to search terms. My wife's last name is hyphenated, so out of the 5 contracts that we have, 2 of them were initially entered incorrectly. I knew alternative search terms (like document number) so had it corrected.

Assuming that they bought direct, try last name (Smith), grantor (Disney), Legal Remarks (whatever the legal name of BRV is), and search for DEED only.

My wife and I bought in at the end of last year. I had never checked that website to see our deed. Thanks to this thread, I remember to go look! Thanks, everyone!

No joy...

I’ve purchased from a trust before and the purchase agreement clearly indicated it was a trust acting as the seller.

Definitely seems weird. Zero evidence of the contract to be found.

Be sure to get the Title Insurance.

Were BRV contracts previously called something else prior to CCV. Weren't Boulder Ridge Villas previously known as Villas at Wilderness Lodge or something like that? Would older contracts have a different name and could that be a reason it's not popping up?

 

[RoseGold]

Online search only goes back so far. Possible it's an older transaction. BR opened in 2000 and was renamed. It's probably just those things.

The title company will handle this. I wouldn't be worried, but I would flag it for the title agent.

Yeah, I sent an email to Cammy at Mason, just to put it on their radar. I do think it's an older contract due to the odd number of points (70) and the size relative to the other contracts they own (both over 200).

Yes, Villas at Wilderness Lodge. If you enter just "Wilderness" in the search field, you pick up all of those earlier contracts (or you should).

Hades works hard, but Cammy works harder, LOL.
