7/30 sellers contract and ours received, sent to Disney for ROFR
8/28 received notice that we passed ROFR
9/5 received closing docs
9/10 mailed all docs and payment out to Title company

It seems that the seller is pretty on the ball, and we would have mailed our closing docs, etc back earlier but back to school week was so crazy!!!

Once the title company receives our package and sellers, how long does it take from there? We are close to our 11 month booking and keeping fingers crossed that b tefore the end of Sept., we will be able to book... What do you experienced folks think my chances are???

Our contract closed 8/31 and was posted to the county website the same day. I called member administration today and still not set up... I guess they have been having some computer problems... They told me to try back on Monday... So it will take mine over the 10-14 days to be set up

July 27- Offer presented (100 pts @ OKW42)
July 27- Offer accepted
July 27- Contracts signed
July 30- Sent to ROFR
August 28- Passed ROFR

I would call the resale office to check on things.

I used Fidelity and worked with Sharon & Evy (when Sharon was on vacation). This is what I did - maybe it helped expedite things:

8/28 ROFR waiver
8/31 email Sharon and ask if there is any way to expedite things because I was going on a trip to WDW at end of September.
9/6 received an email with closing docs from title company
9/6 sent an email to title company requesting confirmation when docs received & politely asked if there is any way to expedite the process (due to the upcoming trip)
9/7 confirmation from title company that docs were received and waiting for seller's docs, also stating they will request an expedited process from Disney as soon as we close.

Thanks to the posts here I learned a lot on how to push things along without being pushy - or at least very polite pushy I know if I pester any of the parties involved they may get annoyed and take twice as long to finish the process.

Good luck to both of you on the closing and becoming members. We're almost there
Lots of to everyone!

I feel much better seeing I'm not the only one! We closed on 8/27 and no points and no record of the contract either. I called Monday and was told they load new points on Tuesdays, but yesterday came and went and I still have no new points in my account

I'm actually right between these two steps at the moment. My docs were received back on 9/11 and was told I'm just waiting on the seller.

So you didn't get notice that you had actually closed - you just showed up on the OCC site? Or did you just not list that step?

I'm eager to be done with this process.......

As of right now I didn't get a notice of closing. I'm so impatient that I keep checking the OCC website and happened to find it in there. Yesterday my DH's name showed up and today my name is there too. But it still says "info is being processed" so maybe at end of day it will be complete and then get the notice. If I don't hear anything by Monday then I'll call.
Look on the site and search for your sellers name - in a few days you should see your name pop up.

Nothing there yet, but apparently the same seller just closed on another deal a few days ago. At least I know they're responsive by looking at the dates on that deed.

Like you, I'm sure I'll be checking frequently now...

Our BCV contract passed ROFR 9 days ago and still no closing documents. I'm getting antsy waiting. I thought I would have had them by now...such a long process.

I received an email from both Fidelity and the title company this afternoon - telling me we closed. So I guess once you're on the site it means closing. I was told by both that it will take 5 to 7 business days for me to be in the DVC system. Yay!

I would call the broker and inquire about it. They should be able to contact the title company and find out what is going on for you.

Got an e mail today that my closing docs have been approved and I should receive them within the next few days. I am so anxious to make my first reservation!

Thanks for posting. This is definitely helpful for those of us in the final stages (I'm currently waiting on closing - title company has all paperwork).

I don't think your post says anywhere... what resort did you buy? Based on the pricing, I'm thinking BWV, MCV, or AKV.

[michelleiada]

I am one step closer. Received my closing documents yesterday morning via email. Signed them and returned with a certified bank check, via overnight US Priority Mail. Getting so close. Now I can only hope that the sellers act promptly and return their part. Few more weeks and it will be official....YIPEEE!

We bought at BCV... The more I have read these boards I was having some buyers remorse but after being on the site this weekend, I am very glad we bought at our favorite. BCV was the only resort over spring break where I couldn't book my stay... Glad to know I have a booking advantage in future years.

Going to post my timeline for reference and so I can continue to keep track...

8/9 - Sent offer to TSS
8/10 - Offer accepted by buyer and we received the contract
8/13 - Mailed contract along with deposit
8/14 - Contract sent to Disney for ROFR
9/12 - Received waiver of ROFR
9/13 - Received closing documents
9/17 - Closing documents and final payment sent off

Now we're in the waiting game to hear that we closed and to get entered into the system. Hoping we can be in the system by 10/8 so we can use our 7 month window for an upcoming trip
