Closing Time!!

I did not get an email regarding the sellers documents with either of my transactions with FA. Most recently I emailed asking for an update as I saw folks posting here with similar purchase and ROFR dates having closed almost two weeks prior. Their response was that we would close within a few days and that our seller had needed to redo the warranty deed. FA is not known for unsolicited updates.
Thanks!
What’s FA? lol
Edit: oh... First American I guess. I used Magic vacation title though

I'm not sure if our sellers were slow in returning their documents or it's just the whole thing about Aulani resales taking longer but this process is taking forever.

Were you already a DVC member? If not, did you call or waited for the letter? Thanks! :)

I was already a member...for a about a month.

My first contract (at VGC) recorded on March 7th and I got my welcome letter March 26th. The letter itself was dated March 15th, so I assume that's the date I became a member. (As an aside, I called the DVC sales line around that time and I was definitely in the system. I probably could have pushed for my member number but didn't.) It seems like such a mixed bag with who you get at Member Administration, and I didn't have a trip in the foreseeable future, so I just waited for the letter. Once I had the letter I called Member Services and had my account setup in 10 minutes. I know the wait is agonizing but hang in there! I never thought I'd be the one in the position to tell someone how this all works.

I'm being told it could take up to another month before everything gets settled and I get my information to make a trip. I'm trying to plan a trip for the week after November so I'm getting a little antsy.

Our deed was recorded 4/4 so I called just to give it a shot today. I think I spoke with option 2? Anyway the woman I spoke to was very nice. She asked for the sellers name as well as the contract number. Even knew where on my fidelity contract to find that number. Said Disney received the info on 4/9 and it will take another two weeks. Should I just wait or try again next week? We’re anxious to book a January trip!

They were faster with your closing docs than they were with ours! Our closing docs took a month and now we're still waiting for our points show up in our account. :bored:

It's funny you noticed that, I was stalking your posts to see when I should expect my closing docs. I happened to sell some stock to pay for it on Monday and then was kicking myself for doing that since I shouldn't have received closing docs until the end of next week. I got home Monday and lo and behold, there they were on my door step. I will say, their closing docs were the most impressive looking by of the three I've done. I push paper for a living, and those docs were all squared away. Sorry to complement FA @thelionqueen :-)
 
How long do I need to wait before I can try and get my membership number and login from Disney? I want to make end of November plans if possible, 25-28, and that 7 month mark is happening very soon. I’m hoping for OKW or AKL.
