Not really ,if still meet the closing date in contract. I know a lot of contracts have closed before the closing date stated in contract but as long as they are staying true to contract, then they are doing nothing wrong.
Also, they were probably told 30-45 days for ROFR, so they could have easily figured it wouldn't be done until they were back from their trip.
It’s still rude, they could have had the courtesy to let the title company know their status.
I just find it funny. If I were selling a contract I would try and get my docs in ASAP. Who doesn't want their money faster lol?
I didn’t have any problems using them. In my experience, magic was much much slower than mason but no issues.
Thank you, one of the reasons given is so they can control pace of closing so I thought it would be quicker.
We recently had two contracts purchased through DVC Resale Market (and Sue!) with Magic Vacation Title that went quite quickly. Both were closed within 8 days of passing ROFR. No complaints from me.
Seller probably didn’t think ROFR would go through quickly and if they’re leaving for an international trip, they’re probably busy getting ready for that trip and wouldn’t have time to stop at a notary anyway. Could’ve been an emergency trip for all we know and seeing off their DVC contract is the last thing on their mind.
I have used at least 4 different title companies and honestly, my experience has been good with all of them. Yes, there was sometimes a slight difference in timeline for closing documents after ROFR, but to be honest, they all closed within a few weeks...except one which took a month due to seller being slow....so it was not that big of a deal
Not to throw shade at anyone, but Florida law prohibits a seller or their agents from requiring that a buyer use a particular title company. They may require an additional fee as that cost is often assumed by the seller, but they can’t force you to use any particular title company.
Thank you but she did say I could use him just the closing fee may be different to that previously quoted. I was just generally wondering if there was a great advantage to paying more for him.
I just got the email at 9am today 3/8/23 this passed ROFR.

It’s typically about $100 more in my experience. I just like the level of service and peace of mind with Mason.
I've used both and while I definitely prefer Mason, Magic Vacation Title is fine as well. As you've discovered they are the title company of choice for DVC Resale Market which is one of the largest in the business. They handle a lot of DVC contracts. Mason is widely considered the best title company on these boards for a reason, though. They are fast and accurate. I've had to send things back to other title companies (including Magic Vacation Title) because I found errors in the paperwork, but never with Mason.
