With Fidelity and First American Title, how long are people waiting between finding it they made it through ROFR and actually having closing documents to sign? Thank you!

They were AWFUL for me.

3/23 - ROFR waived. I was told 10-14 days
4/6 - Followed up, no response
4/14 - Followed up, they claimed stuff was sent 4/7. It wasn't.
4/15 - Followed up, no response
4/16 - Followed up, Fidelity tells me they're nagging First American for me
4/16 - Documents received via DocuSign

24 days total.

After toying with VGF resale, decided prices were just not worth it and added on at VGF today direct. In celebration, bought this little item as the lone wolf representing #teamfancy.

Same. I’m adding on tomorrow direct. I do have on resale pending but that’ll have to be for next year. I can’t book at my 11 month window for next May waiting for a resale to go through.

Thank you. I made the excellent financial decision of making a dvc purchase and planning a trip at essentially the same time (ROFR sent on 4/29 and trip begins last week of July) so I'm trying to determine what is going to be due when over the next 70 days or so. lol It's not catastrophic or anything but it wasn't exactly a well formulated idea either. I basically decided this was the last non-member trip we were taking and I'd like to go again in November so I needed to get the ball rolling.

We are sort-of in the same boat... we are still waiting on our closing (signed docs have been with title company since 5/10). We would love to go at Christmas but the 7 month window will be opening later this week and we'll likely miss out on staying at our home resort BWV.....I knew it would be close but I had hopes things would move a bit faster. It's frustrating when you see others closing the day after the docs are returned......

So I have a newbie question. We are impatiently waiting for our sellers to send in their documents so we can close. Once they do that how long is it usually til we get our member number from DVC and can get our points loaded? (This one will be our first contract...then hopefully we'll have a 2nd one if our other one passes ROFR this time)

This thread is helpful for how long DVC is currently taking to get memberships set up/contracts added & points loaded https://www.disboards.com/threads/closing-time-2021-and-2022-edition.3836891/page-77#post-64010077.

Fidelity had us use Mason Title for our purchase that is still awaiting ROFR... Wonder if it's the agents choice to select a closing company. At this point we are on day 27.

Buyer pays closing costs so you should be able to specify upfront if you have an opinion.

I know I could have selected the title company that I wanted to use with Fidelity, however Mason Title has generally had positive comments about it on there forums.

I agree, if Fidelity had specified Mason up front, I would have just gone with it but my first purchase they selected First American and I asked them to change it to Mason. Great decision IMHO!

Mason is awesome! I specifically requested Mason for my most recent purchase. They are fast, great with communication, and my favorite part is that they allow a credit card deposit up to $5k. I love maximizing my credit card points.

I need one of you guys to buy the $95 Aulani at Fidelity please. I can't do June UY and it's bigger than I need.

I have asked to use Mason with 2 different reselling agencies and was told that they don't work with Mason (requested by email, denied by phone call). I should have pushed the issue, but didn't. Buyer is paying, buyer should choose. I have worked with only 3 different title companies, and Mason is the best of them by far.

I would but the wife says we have enough points (for now, I'm thinking).

Buyer should definitely get to choose!

I don’t see it, must have gotten scooped up already! How many points was it?

It’s still there. It’s 400 points and wow that is tempting. The 4K a year maintenance fees are what would make me somewhat hesitant. Would be great for our future plans for infrequent trips to Hawaii or WDW.

If I had $40k not invested just laying around I'd throw an offer that way.

 

[Stargazer65]

Man they have juicy deals for Aulani in both my Use Years (June & Sep)

i found it! it's actually even more, 480 points. I was looking for a new listing but it's over a month old but newly modified. Someone will be so happy - my money is on Captain America buying it for $90 pp
