Closing Time!!

Finally! Woo hoo! I wish I could say I wasn't checking multiple times a day waiting for my points to be loaded...but after checking first thing this morning with no points showing in my account, I resigned myself to the fact that my points probably wouldn't show up until next week. But thank goodness I checked again! I'm all done!

So happy to see this! My contract was also added on Oct 9th so keeping my fingers crossed I see points today at some point!
 


How will my membership number/login details be communicated to me? My deed was recorded early October but I'm not sure whether to expect an email or snail mail.

Not sure how they would have my email address, but I'm in the UK and regular mail may take longer. Is it just the login details I should expect or do they send any sort of welcome pack?

I should mention it's a resale contract with Fidelity.

My membership details came through today so I can finally log in, albeit no points yet.

For reference
- Passed ROFR: September 14th
- Deed Recorded: October 2nd
- Membership Login: October 17th

Still a long way to go!

I have a feeling DVC are doing things slowly because if you close in December you are required to pay the next year's dues too!
We just want our points loaded and done before the 7 month mark for our holiday in August. 🤞🤞🤞

Total time from offer to Title Company in receipt of funds: 54 days
Our title agent told us we are scheduled to close tomorrow and I will update when I hear!

A long side note, if you're interested in why it took longer than it might have...

We waited to sign the documents until we knew we were able to get to the bank and send the funds (we received the documents Thursday before the 3-day bank holiday weekend (Columbus Day) and we knew we couldn't get to the bank until Tuesday 10/13 for the check). So we signed Monday night and went to the bank Tuesday am. We used USPS priority mail with tracking and it took what seemed like FOREVER...from Tuesday noon to Saturday am for the first attempted delivery (New Jersey to Florida) with very little real tracking information available. And of course Mason Title Company was closed on Saturday. So the only information we gleaned from the tracking info was an alert that there was an attempted but failed delivery on Saturday, with a promise to attempt delivery again on next business day. That alert remained posted until Monday very close to 5 pm when the check was finally delivered (no update that it was out for delivery). Anyway, USPS estimates 1-3 days with priority mail and ours took very close to a week. Frustrating, but it got there safely eventually. We don't usually use priority mail so I don't know if this is a typical experience, but their customer service department answering machine apologizes for delays caused by reduced staffing due to Covid-19 (I know, I listened to it many times over the last week, haha). My point in relaying this long story is to say that WE (our choice to use USPS for delivery of a cashier's check as opposed to a different mail service or wiring funds) actually factor into several days' delay (or even a week or more) of closing that cannot be attributed to the title company or the seller! I believe with the efficiency Mason Title and the promptness of the sellers, we could have easily closed last week, say within 48 days or less from offer! Which seems really unusal and lucky these days.

Even with that wrinkle, 54 Days is a heck of a lot quicker than the 91Days on my last purchase.
Now I have one waiting ROFR for 34 Days as of today - who knows how long this one will take! :earboy2:
