I pinged them last week asking if I needed to do anything else. That was when they said they were still waiting on the sellers to return the docs.

The date of closing on the contracts is 1/10/25 so I still have a couple weeks till that date.

I have to remind myself that this is a part of the process with the massive savings we got for choosing a resale versus another direct contract. And if it takes too long, then I will happily take our funds back and bid on another contract.

I do wish I read more on the board. We sent our wire transfer the day we signed the contract. Now I know to hold the wire transfer till the seller signs the forms.

We just did the same thing. The closing company told us to send funds before Christmas week to avoid delays only to find out, the seller still hasn’t sent back anything or been heard from. Our closing was 12/27/24-1/10/25 on contract so I have to wait as well to see what happens. Definitely the downside of resale

I finally caved and asked for an update yesterday.

Supposedly the sellers documents are in transit.

I agree this is the downside of resale but I have to remember that getting 240 points in instead of the 125 direct that would have cost about the same

Well that's good news I am reminding myself of same thing. Direct prices right now are insane unless you're buying larger quantities and this is just an add on for me; I have my direct that I got at pretty good price. I'll update the thread with mine if I ever close!

Just heard we passed ROFR. All I want for Christmas now is to close by Christmas Eve so that maybe we can have points ready to book VGF at the 11-month for our 2025 Christmas Adventure!

Was wondering if you could share how much your fidelity closing/admin fees were for this.

Thanks!

Just heard yesterday that the deed was recorded. Looking forward to seeing the contract in my DVC dashboard!

How long after deed recording do they typically add the contract (i'm an existing member). It's been awhile since I bought resale and have a December 2025 trip to book

 

[matt_in_nh]

I will be a new member, closing is this coming Tuesday. I assume there is no way to speed up the process from Deed Recorded to Contract Showing on Membership? Looks like that is 2-3 weeks.

 

[buffalobasingal]

Wow! My VGF contract is showing in my dashboard as of tonight! I checked several times today and figured it wouldn't be showing up and then suddenly tonight it is there!

Amazing! Congrats!

 

[buffalobasingal]

All closed! I called this morning to ask for points to be loaded and DVC member services was able to oblige. How perfect since the first night I am planning to book is Dec. 5, 2025!

The only problem is that it didn't cure my add-on-itis since we stayed at Copper Creek over Christmas and now I want to buy a contract there. Haha!

My closing date is set for Jan 10th and the seller has still not returned their documents.

The title company supposedly reached out to them again on 1/2.

Has anyone backed out of buying once the closing date passes? What has that process ben like?

How did you get your contract showing so quickly after the deed was recorded? My recent OKW purchase was recorded 12/26 and there’s still nothing showing on my membership…
