Points in my account:
Well - there is no update. Funds/paperwork were received by the title company on the 10th. Seller paperwork was also been received around the same time. However, despite me pointing out the error much earlier, the misspelling of my wife's name on the documentation is now an issue. They've requested a waiver from Disney which apparently is being mailed to them via USPS. So 20 days after I sent my funds I'm no closer to closing this thing then I was in October when I passed ROFR.
Beyond frustrating experience. Thankfully my broker is kind enough to not give me updates unless I specifically inquire....
Got word today that we are closed and that our deed has been recorded.
In retrospect I suppose the process was relatively smooth - only one real error made - but man was it unnecessarily long. I don't really see the need for the lengthy delay between steps - especially when funds were sent and closing occurred (almost a month). The delay(s) wouldn't even have been that bad if the realtor kept us up to date - but if I didn't send inquiries every 2 weeks I wouldn't have heard anything between steps.
In all, I suppose things could have been quicker and communication could have been better.
