Recording of the Deed?

We still weren't on the site as of yesterday so I emailed our closing agent and told her that deeds closed as early as yesterday were already showing up and something had to be wrong with ours because I knew this wasn't normal.

Our agent called the clerk over at the comptrollers office and our deed was rejected 6 days prior due to overpayment on our part. They have someone going to pick up the documents today at which point, they'll rewrite them and issue us a refund. I'm guessing they over charged us in the closing costs.

Sometimes in these transactions you have to be your own advocate. If the agent had looked into it when I first emailed her, it would already be done by now. Obviously you can't be obnoxious about it and call 1900 times before its supposed to happen but in our case it literally paid to know what the process was and how long it takes - even when our closing agent said it was fine.

Wow- glad you stayed on top of this! But bummer that now you have even longer to wait. At least you know what happened and that it is being resolved.... And that some $$$ is coming back to you! I hope everything from here on goes smoothly

We're good now. I called Disney yesterday to see if by some miracle I would get the person who still gives out information over the phone and sure enough we got it. I was able to get us all logged in and we'll be taking our first time home on February 16.

It still isn't recorded by the county, but oh well. As long as the main mouse has it down, all is well.

Thanks everybody for all your advice, tips and tricks. It really helps with the new purchase anxiety to have an outlet to talk about it. Non-disney folks just don't get it.

Good to see you got your info. We closed on the 19th and haven't gotten anywhere calling except that they received stuff on the 19th. Haven't tried calling accounting yet. Was told just to wait for the mail.

I recently bought 2 DVC properties around the same time in late September. The one for Saratoga Spings was completed with deed on the county web site within 30 days. I heard nothing about the other OKW contract after I had originally been told it went to Disney for ROFR on September 29. I sent numerous emails and made several calls to the selling agent and the escrow person to find out the status of ROFR to no avail. Finally, on October 29, I reached the escrow agent and asked when the contract went to Disney for ROFR. She told me she would have to check and would get back to me. Instead the selling agent called me back and said the escrow agent had told him to call me. I asked him when it went to ROFR and he said he would have to check and get back to me. I did not hear back from either. I called a few times to no avail. Finally, on Nov. 1, I contacted the supervisor and explained that neither the agent or the escrow person had got back to me to tell me when my contract went to Disney for ROFR. I received an email in response to this from the escrow person who informed me that the original ROFR was lost by Disney. It was recent after my October 29 call. This has put me back an entire month. I have been counting the days and now must start all over again. I guess this proves that we as buyers must be persistent and check and recheck. (I doubt Disney lost anything, I think the escrow agent just screwed up.) Has anyone else had the paperwork lost?

Perry, we closed on the 19th too. We just got our Membership number in the mail yesterday (here in the NW) so you should be getting yours soon
I was able to call MS and get logged on very quickly. Now I just have to wait for my Dec 2013 booking dates. Hopefully your trip will be sooner.
