Fidelity Real Estate Resales Back on The Market

[vicarrieous]

Looks like we are putting in an offer on a contract at Fidelity. I will say their process/information on their website is lacking a bit, but prices were good. Has anyone worked with David H?

On our last contract we use Cammy at Mason Title and were very happy. Is she still there does anyone know?

I've had a very good experience with Fidelity before.

Cammy now has her own title co, https://www.dvcclosings.com/, and we used her on our last purchase. Would easily recommend her for yours too.

Thanks for the update. This is our first add-on and its been awhile since we purchased our first contract. Delving back into this process and getting acquainted with any changes. I appreciate the heads up.

Cammy is great and so is her new company. I also used Mason since she left them because they still allow up to $7500 on credit card without any fees. Mason was great. One of the quickest closings I’ve experienced.

DVC Closings only allows up to $5000 on credit card.

Good to know. I am still waiting to sign our accepted offer paperwork hopefully today. Anything else I should be a heads up on with Fidelity?

They are known to make errors. Just review the contract in detail to make sure it’s what you agreed to. Other than that, you should be fine.

They also charge an admin fee of $225 (it will be in the contract). Most agents disclose it before making an offer, while others don’t. I’ve not been impressed with David H but I’m sure he will be fine as long as you double check everything.

Thanks. I had all these on my Bingo card and plan to keep an eye on things.

Do you want to expand on your thoughts on David? I have had some conversations so far, but its been just "ok".

They are good. The website isn’t great though and they only work business hours mostly. To be fair, haven’t worked much with David H beyond preliminary offer stage, but he seemed nice and professional.

Camry isn’t at Mason but Mason is still good; you can use Mason or I believe Fidelity will offer you Cammy’s new company by default. But Mason is a bit less expensive and I’ve had good experiences with them. Cammy’s new company is good too.

Thanks! Yea, I feel the same about their website. I did call the agent and he was responsive and gave me a call back later that night to let us know our offer was accepted. I appreciated that. DVC purchases resale are just such a wait game that it's hard to know what's standard and what's unnecessary when it comes to work behind the scenes. Communication helps so hopefully that can continue.

David H has been helpful so far and willing to call and get the information. It sounds like he now passes everything along to the person to prepare the contract and was happy to use Cammy for title. He has lots of positive things to say about her as well.

Yes, Fidelity is basically a reselling machine. The salesperson is only involved originally, and then everything passes on to their contract department. It is different than other places I’ve used.

We worked with David before. He was pretty adamant about only using who he recommended to use for title mainly since it was Hawaii he was saying there was only one option. But my seller was paying title fees so I let it go. He got back to me quick and everything else was fine.

I like Cammy but she is now Affiliated with Fidelity and pricey so compare prices if you can. They do offer e-notary which can be nice if they are not backed up.

Hawaii does have some limits on who can handle parts of the closing due to state law. We went through this with a non-DVC acquisition a few years back.

 

[dealz2012]

Just went through Fidelity and Mason.

Mason was over $100+ cheaper and I thought communication was on point the whole time.

Also was able to put the entire closing on a CC which made the whole closing super easy funding wise (plus nice to take advantage of 0% CC)

I've worked with fidelity on purchasing a three contracts over the past 5 years, and for the most part, they are just fine to work with. For those contracts, they have called me within an hour of me placing my bid to confirm the price per point, and also to inform me of all fees and who traditionally pays them, then they said "are you OK with this?" So they didn't seem shady at all.

HOWEVER: I attempted to place offers on two contracts in December, 2024, and had a different experience. They were both priced wonderfully, but apparently were not actually available.

When you place a bid on their site, you get an automated response saying that one of their brokers will be in touch soon.

On the first contract, I heard back the same day that it was already sold, but when I re-checked their site again, it was still listed as available. They claimed it was an error that their IT team was trying to fix... a week later it was still listed.

On the second contract, we heard crickets. As in, nearly a month later I got an email stating that "this contract is no longer available."

These two contracts were with brokers that I'd never dealt with before.

All other contracts we worked with Shawn, and she was great.

All this said, I'd definitely use them again.

We’ve bought from fidelity once - Jennifer I. was our broker. We had a great experience and would absolutely consider them again.

This may be slightly off topic, when you talk about putting the payment on CC which part are you referring to? the initial deposit? or the balance after it passes ROFR?

I have 2 contract currently under ROFR and I would love to put as much down on CC as possible and then pay it off shortly after (I heard 5k max mentioned couple times before, which will totally be fine with me). I'm under contract with Fidelity and just decided to use DVC Title and Escrow as recommended by Fidelity.

DVC Title only allows that 5K deposit. Rest must be wired.

DVC Title & Escrow allows for up to a $5,000 initial deposit (with no merchant fees). They also allow for the balance of the contract to be paid at closing with a credit card but the merchant fees are passed through to the buyer.
