Thanks!! I've already been to the bank and have the certified check in my hot little hand! Now we're off to the post office to mail it.

**As I was typing this, Nancy called. She called because I sent her back an e-mail telling her that we received the documents and that we would be sending off the check and documents today. She wanted to make sure that we knew it had to be a certified check. I told her that I had already been to the bank and have the check in my hand! She laughed and said that she thought there was no way that I had already been to the bank and got the check. I told her, "Oh you don't know us!!!". LOL!!!! She got a kick out of that!***

I am so jealous! We've had our closing documents for a week now but we can't close until after April 20th when the current owners complete their final trip using points from our contract. Our documents state that they don't need our check and closing documents until April 17th so I figured I would wait until early April to send our stuff in.

When Nancy said the check had to be certified are all cashiers checks and money orders considered certified? How did you mail your cashiers check? Are you using regular mail or Priority Mail or something else? That's a lot of money to send in the mail.

You better keep us up to date on how long it takes to get in the system once you close!!

Hello all (previously known as LLMURPHY17 - I needed a more disney type username)

So for the question of the day- I've been thinking of adding since my contract was submitted. Since I am a family of five, I have no choice but to stay in a 1bdrm so I need around 260 for HHI in the summer. My contract now is for 170 so I probably will add 50 to 90 pts. I am thinking that I may just stick with 55 therefore, I can just borrow from the following year.

I may just go with Disney since it will be a small contract and because this waiting game is killing me. It gets worse each day.

I already have a plan B and C just in case I don't pass.

ROFR isn't such a bad word after all!

 

[tammymacb]

Cheryl, I can't wait to see if you close earlier than expected, since you've already gotten everything taken care of..

 

[disneymotherof3]

Thanks for the info!

No paperwork for me yet today, I guess I should be expecting it soon.

BTW? Is there any actual "close date" on the paperwork? I've heard that some people who get their paperwork in earlier close early too.

No there isn't. The only thing it says is..."To ensure a prompt closing please have this package returned to our office by 4/03/08." I did ask Nancy when I talked to her about closing early. She said that as soon as everything is returned from everyone, then it will all be processed and the closing will be completed. So in other words, the quicker you get the stuff sent back, the quicker you can close. At least that's how I took it. She told me before we got off the phone that she was going to call the seller and let them know that we were returning our documents with our payment today. Hopefully that will get them to return their stuff promptly too! The sooner the better!

I've started to really enjoy this thread. I hope we can keep it active..

Me too!!! I love seeing the updates and additions to our "family"!

Maybe Tammy can start a new thread for the Waiting for ROFR members...Our First Trip Home! From ROFR to Welcome Home!

There's a question for tomorrow: name the new thread.

I kind of like it the way it is.

I am so jealous! We've had our closing documents for a week now but we can't close until after April 20th when the current owners complete their final trip using points from our contract. Our documents state that they don't need our check and closing documents until April 17th so I figured I would wait until early April to send our stuff in.

My answer would be yes. Our paperwork says you can pay by either cashier's check or money order. We mailed our documents and check by Priortiy Mail. It should get there either Friday or Monday (technically Saturday, but Nancy won't get it until Monday). When we were at the Post Office, we asked the lady how she suggested we send it. She said as long as there is no way that anyone other than the Payee on the check can cash it (meaning it wasn't cash or blank check), then we should be fine sending it Priority. We did add on the signature confirmation and certified mail receipt.

I will definitely keep you all updated!

ROFR is a four letter word.

I have few things as I sit here First, I agree I like the thread the way it is I just hope everyone stays in and it doesn't become one of those dead threads! Second, I'm pretty sure that The waiting to close list (10) is now larger than the ROFR list (9), I think that's a first. Lastly, a question, have you heard at all from TTS since you passed ROFR or has it all been Nancy? You know when you buy a house the Real estate agent tends to stay with you from start to finish I'm getting the impression that with this Timeshare stuff they kind of hand you off, it's just a little confusing they way these things happen. I always feel like I'm calling the wrong person. Don't get me wrong, everyone has been nice but it's not like buying a house and that's the way I thought the process would go.

I check back every day to see what kinds of offers have gotten through ROFR, since my DW and I hope to be making an offer on some resale that looks attractive by early summer, probably at SSR...but, who knows. So you guys don't go anywhere, please.

Hey Ed! Isn't that great about the "waiting to close" list! No, I haven't heard from TTS. I tend to agree with you.

Good luck on finding a contract! I don't plan on going anywhere. I think it's great that we can offer help and some insight on what's going on so others know what to expect.

 

[HolidayRoad]

Do we have a question of the day for tomorrow?

I really need to go to sleep! Good night all!!

 

[Tigger & Eeyore]

Woo Hoo! I just got home and checked my e-mail - I passed ROFR today!!!!

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!

I heard we had passed ROFR from two different emails from people at the TSS. Our agent Robert sent one of those. At this point I have not heard from Nancy.

I also have Robert and I touched base yesterday because I am new to this and had no idea who notified you, the closing company or the TSS. They always respond so well and I am so anxious to see and email from him. He said 2 people from there would notify me when they hear. He seems positive which makes me feel great, but still very anxious!!

Congrats to you on passing as well. How exciting.

Since nobody came up with one I decided to throw this out:

Question of the Day. What is your favorite restaurant in WDW and why?
I always like to hear different ideas about places to eat at WDW.
