So I was waiting to comment on this thread until my DVC journey was complete. My points were added to my new member account today! I would just like to add that my wife and I used Fidelity on our BLT contact. Everything with them was great from start to finish. We made our offer on the contract around 2PM EST and heard back from Bonnie within a couple of hours. She advised me that she would speak to the sellers. The sellers responded back and the offer was accepted. All of this was by the next day.

Our contract was sent to ROFR the day after the offer was accepted and our deposit was requested and everything went very smoothly. Fidelity was very communicative throughout the process. Once we heard back from ROFR they sent us our closing documents very quickly and were there to assist with any questions we had. They did use Cammy over at DVC Title and Escrow and she was great as well.

Honestly, when I started looking at contracts there was much feedback on this forum about Fidelity and it made me almost want to steer clear of them. I know everything isn't always smooth for everyone but I am very glad I used them. I would never hesitate to use them again if we ever decided to add on.

Likewise, I have had really good experiences with Fidelity.
My latest encounter has been terrific; I listed 2 resale contracts with them on 7/17, and both sold on 7/19.

Just went to ROFR with Fidelity. Somewhat impersonal but so far so good! They seem to be deal makers and I like that.

Seems so, 2 of my 3 are Fidelity. At first I really didnt get the $225 fee but they transaction coordinators that are separate from the agent so the extra fee makes more sense to me now.

What is going on over there? I’m torn between Boardwalk at $474 a point and SSR at 1 cent per point.

I just submitted an offer for an OKW with Fidelity. I see some old threads about a title company. Who does Fidelity use or what is the latest on the best one to use?

Unless it was a large contract, Mason should be the cheapest. All of the title companies have pros and cons. Just check all figures carefully, no matter who you go with.

Fidelity is Affiliated with (according to a document they had me sign) Tomorrow Holdings, LLC (d/b/a Vacation Club Title & Escrow and DVC Title & Escrow). Cammy, who I like as they have the e-Notary for sellers is currently with their DVC Title & Escrow.

DVC By Resale (a broker) www.dvcbyresale.com has a function where if you use the Buy Now button you can scroll down to see the title/escrow charge for a few different ones - I would pick a similar size points one in the same state (FL/HA for example) to compare. I've loved Cammy - but I find Jeffrey Sweet's office (https://www.ormondlegal.com/) easy to work with too, and is usually cheaper. Ask the broker what each title company charges them, since I think some of the title/escrow companies must give them a referral fee or something - my fee thru DVC Title & Escrow with Fidelity was substantially higher than quoted on the DVC By Resale site but the Agent I worked with at Fidelity said if I used another Escrow my offer would not be accepted (others have said they did not have that problem).

Some brokers are offering title/escrow deals right now - I'll put the link but I think this one is blocked on disboards https://****************.com/dvc-buyers-100-off-closing-costs-2/

As disneylandtour mentioned above, Mason (www.masontitle.com) can be competitive too and I've enjoyed working with them. I don't see Mason's price on that link I shared, but you could call and ask - a timeshare might be different than their online form.

The disboards has a Closing Time! thread where people post their times and who they use, it's a great resource too. https://www.disboards.com/threads/closing-time.3836891/

We just purchased our contract from Fidelity in November. We didn't have any issues. I did make sure I read everything and followed up after we submitted our documents. After that point we really only dealt with the title company.
