Closing Time!!

Question for the experts: will I get an email? I bought resale and I am a new member. Will I receive an email with my membership information or am I waiting on snail mail?
 
Still waiting.....
Got our closing documents Feb. 10 and returned them the next day. I know our seller is older and in the UK so I expect a little delay. Do I email the title company to check on the status or just keep waiting?
Really wanted the points by April to book a trip but doesn’t seem like that is happening.

You will get an email creating the account. The contract should then show up.

Then you have to wait another 7-14 days for the points to show.

Never feel bad about checking in. I try not to be a nuisance and I am always polite (I want them to help me, after all!)... but I don’t want them to forget me, so I feel like pinging them once a week is a good compromise. 😉

Oh- and it might be the broker that would be most helpful here. If you’re unsure, email them both. Good luck!

I'm still waiting on ROFR, but I thought while I'm waiting I'd try and be proactive with closing. I am using Fidelity and First American for our title company. Anyone use that combo before that has some tips? I activated wire transfers so many can be wired from our account, I have access to a notary, anything else I need to do while I'm waiting patiently....or not so patiently LOL

It sounds like you're on top of everything you can control, which is awesome! In my own experience, the delay wasn't on our end, but with our Sellers. They were delayed in completing the closing docs on their end, which makes patience and distracting ourselves in the waiting process so much more important. My recommendation is to get into a good book series, start a new TV show, or pick up a new hobby, because waiting on closing docs seemed to be more challenging than ROFR! Haha!

I just emailed my title company and asked about the sellers status. They replied and said the sellers confirmed they got everything signed yesterday so closing should occur early next week. I encourage you to reach out to your title company if you're wondering.

I heard back from the broker today who said the seller is working on it with Disney. Not sure if they are transferring points from another contract or trying to figure out where the points that were supposed to be transferred went. It doesn’t sound like they were planning to do the former and if they were, I wish they would’ve just told me that. Hoping to get an answer soon!
Just wanted to share the final outcome for anyone curious or who finds themselves in my situation. After weeks of back and forth, Disney finally agreed to put 100 points on a contract the seller still owned and the seller then transferred the 100 points to me. I’m glad the issue was finally resolved but I think if I ever by another resale, I’ll avoid any with transfer points.

I sent out an e-mail and heard back shortly. The seller did FedEx the closing documents recently and they are due to arrive today.🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞
We are already in our 11m window. I am hoping to get the points before the 7 month window so we still beat out everyone else trying to book our resort at 7m.

Update - I was pleasantly surprised with it only taking 7 days to receive the closing documents after passing ROFR!
