Closing docs sent today!

How will I know when the seller has returned their closing docs? Will the title company email me a status or do I need to call them?

I have always specifically asked them to let me know once they get the closing docs from the seller as I wait to send my docs and money until the seller has. They might let you know, but if you ask them to tell you once everything is received, they will. Closing usually takes another 1-3 days after everything has been returned. The deed will either record the same day or within a couple of days depending on how busy they are.

Our closing is handled by an attorney, and his admin could only tell me that she hasn't received the sellers' docs yet when I followed up every few days. Our sellers took over 2 weeks to return their docs, so I followed up with the broker. Maybe I bugged them a bit much, but I'm anxious to close!

So even though it seemed like it took forever, it was only 62 days from offer to points, and 60 days from being sent to ROFR to points. Not too bad in the general scheme of things.
 
Co-miserating here...
My closing documents are in, I'm waiting for the go-head to wire funds, and my agent finds out that Sellers never received emailed documents (which they need to sign AND have notarized) and our closing is supposed to be THIS FRIDAY. Really? You don't contact the agent about your missing documents??
I simply want to be welcomed home to BLT!!!!!!:hourglass

Sorry, we're waiting to close too on our 1st contract. I know the feeling. Not to generalize, but I've found that our sellers (on both pending contracts) always wait until the broker or title ask/request them for something before providing. On our contract that's still pending ROFR, they didn't even check that the names on the account were written up correctly! Disney came back and asked for an addendum because the account owners' names did not match the contract.

With all due respect to everyone, I hope this is the last time I update here for a long time. Good luck to everyone, you will finally get there. I promise!

Ugh!! Honestly....what had happened to good business practices?? ie: check, recheck, communicate, follow through, complete. I'm sorry you're going through all this! Sometimes the reduced end price of Resale just isn't worth the stress.
(Tomorrow, I may feel differently if sellers move their keister) and I hope your situation irons out quickly!

There will be a little delay now as I impatiently await my husband's return from his business trip in a couple of days so that we can sign the papers and get them in the mail.
