What do you actually get at resale closing?

[Bruggok]

A week after close, DVC emailed a code to setup account or add contract to existing account. A week after that, DVC emailed inviting me to setup appointment to call MS for onboarding and book welcome home stay. I passed on that, knowing resales got nothing and MS didnt need any more busy work thrown their way. A week after that, the resale broker or title company (can't remember which) sent me an original copy of the warranty deed filed with Orange Co. FL Comptroller in a folder with a stylized Mickey ear pattern. My kid went nuts hollering we bought a hotel room at Disneyworld. I told her no honey, we bought 1/1000 of a room so we get to stay there a week each year. She was still all happy about the Mickey paper folder though.

Heck I just wanted a formal looking document of sorts that showed I actually bought something lol. I guess in a few days I will get mailed a Deed.

Maybe. You don't really need it. I only got one (maybe two?) deeds for five contracts. I printed out the whole screen of my recorded transactions in Orange County in case something were to happen to me. I also printed out my closing docs to show purchase price.

I think I got a fancy folder for one of them, seems like a waste of money to me. I'm happy with not paying for frills.

Thanks, it just seemed so weird! A pretty generic email with no attachments. I was like "this is it?" lol. I don't know what I was expected but sure didn't feel like I just bought or owned anything!

I know exactly what you mean! Our resale was the most expensive purchase of my life and I even signed it over docusign so never saw any physical paperwork. They could at least send one of the emails that you get when you book a stay saying they can't wait to welcome you home, and maybe a certificate to print out!

I'm Canadian and we closed on our resale in Feb. The email from Mason said that they would mail us a paper copy of the deed but we never got it? Do I need it? Should I follow up? How do I prove that I own something if they don't send anything?

I just got the title information and info. from magic vacation title for my OKW contract- nothing else. Still waiting on contract to be loaded as well as points. With my direct Riviera purchase I did get the backpack and magnets- which I really like but again wasn't in it for that to be honest. But happy I will get to use it for my first welcome home in June. 25 days to go and we are getting excited.

The paper wouldn't prove it anyway. You prove it through the public records. You can search the comptroller site:

I printed mine out and put them with my will.

We got a formal copy of the deed from Mason about 2ish weeks after closing that has the official seal. We also got a copy of the title insurance/policy from Mason about 4 weeks post closing via email.

Wow, I have several contracts bought over several years and never got that!

I edited my post because I went in my safe to check and it was the recorded deal with seal with a cover letter from the closing agent, Mason.

Thank you for the link! I found mine was recorded last week, and I also found someone with almost the exact same name who paid off their mortgage for Holiday Inn Club Orange Lake (I love that resort) and recorded it the same week! I do not have a common last name.
What are the odds?!
