Very cool!! Congrats!!! I must say I am a tad jealous... we are still in what feels like a forever holding patter. Offer was submitted way make mid to late April. Just curious... how long from the time you received the email saying you closed did you see your deed recorded? Ours has yet to record and it has been a week and a half.
If your deed is not yet recorded, something is wrong. CALL THE TITLE COMPANY and don't feel bad about doing it.
I had a contract close on Friday, 6/21 with TSS and it was recorded on Monday 6/24. That was good! But...
That's when the alarm bells went off for me. I had another contract with Fidelity, that closed 6/12 and still hadn't shown up as recorded, nor did Disney have any record of it. So, for 2 days, I sent multiple e-mails. Yesterday, I started calling anyone I had a phone number for (Broker, various people at the title company). It took all day to find out that Disney had done their part of the paperwork wrong, and my contract was into someone's in bin, at the courthouse, where it had sat for 2 1/2 weeks! Who knows how long it would have sat if I had continued to be patient.
The title company is assuring me that they can fix this on Monday, but I want to use those points to book a November vacation, and not the points that will come through first. And Disney has had the recorded contract for 5 days, but hasn't assigned a member number yet. I'm hoping for next week.
So, I bought 3 contracts - the last one 30 days after the first one. The last one has settled, and is on Orange County's website, the second one is delayed by a Disney/courthouse snafu, and the first one - well, that seller moved overseas, and didn't bother to tell anyone. And no one at the title company tried looking for them for over 30 days, till I called. Still, I'm hopeful about that one.
Would I buy resale again? In a heartbeat. But, you really need to stay on top of these service providers, and don't feel bad at all about bothering anyone.
