Closing Time!!

Glad you closed! I'm about a week behind you (used FA as well). Got notification on Monday that seller's returned docs and we would close 2-4 days. Hoping it doesn't go into next week but if FA is struggling with yours... doesn't bode well with others.

I have been nudging them a lot...squeaky wheel gets the grease?!?

FA is struggling this transaction and apparently the woman who was great, has just left. I was told my transaction was close last Friday or Monday, I gave her until today before reaching out as it was still not recorded. She must have seen my e-mail and got on it as it was recorded at 9:30am this morning. Sigh...Now to wait for points!

Ugh! That’s who handling the one we’re selling. We passed ROFR a week ago, and still nothing for the closing docs. Since I wasn’t paying for closing, I didn’t get to pick the title company. They’re honestly so painful. If I could have picked, trust me, I would have.
 
I'll give them until Friday since that will be day 4. Who were your dealing with? Evelyn & Debbie?

Debby - last time it was Cammie and she was awesome but she just left...

I have done a lot of waiting on this one between FA and the sellers...

I made my first reservation on Monday. I think that my points were actually there earlier, but I had no 2018 points and had to click on 2019 instead.

Thanks- just going over my emails and realized Cammy and Debbie were on my first email from FA for this transaction and realized Evelyn is at Fidelity- though she wasn't the one I initially had made my offer with. So many changes!!

I also was working with Cammy, that would explain why I did not get a return on my email last week. Reached out to them yesterday and I did receive a email stating that it should close soon also.
 


I panicked yesterday for nothing; got good news today

Man, a little over a month, that's awesome! Enjoy your new home!
 
Finished with my BWV Contract. This was a delayed closing (could not close before 8/1) because of a reservation, which I knew. Here's the timeline:

The points did load into my account on a Sunday. I was actually logged into my DVC account tweaking a current reservation off and on this weekend when I saw the change in the amount of points in that account today. I honestly hadn't bothered checking to see if the points loaded thinking they don't work on these on Sundays. I was wrong...

That's awesome. I was hoping for a quicker access to the points, though. Itching to book our next trip!

I think the one before took 3 days from contract showing to points loading as well. Honestly, this one was faster from closing to points loaded than the last one...I think. I know there was one that took 13 days. I can't keep up with all these contracts, especially now that I am selling one. First world problems.

We are now just waiting for Disney to send our welcome package, which I was told is about 2 weeks. I will update when we receive it.

Received my paperwork today with my membership number (updated dates above). Just under 2 months for the whole process. I was a new member, so if you already have an account it may be a few days faster.

Finally something quick happened with this one! Did not expect points already but logged in today and there they were! Now to start planning!
 
And I'm done! No more constant email checks and checking my account for points. Now to plan!

Delay with seller returning closing docs since they were going through divorce and "had to talk to attorney." I researched it and they hadn't paid 2018 dues. Disney put a lien on the property on 6/26. They put it up for sale on the 6/28. I am glad it is done now but I will believe it when I see BLT on my member dashboard. I am an existing member as I bought OKW direct first.

I noticed BLT added as an existing resort Sunday night (8/12). Yesterday points posted. Just over 6 weeks from offer to points in account. Good experience all the way around. Thanks everyone for the help with the process.
