Closing date

[mko7152]

Hi from Ohio. Finally our house is on the market here. We hope to be there full time soon. We plan on buying one of the model homes in Sanibel. We were told from our realtor in TV's that it takes 30 days to close. Has anyone been able to close on a finished model in less than 30 days? I would very much appreciate it if someone could respond. This is my second time posting and I would love to know if I'm doing this right.

Thanks DDoug for your response. Our realtor there is not being very cooperative and said it can't be done less than 30 days, which did not make any sense. I was beginning to think I was asking too personal a question.

We are from Hudson, OH. My street dead ends into Kent. Hudson is between Cleveland and Akron.

We spent the month of Sept. there last year and fell in love and can't wait to get back!

The next time your sales person is not very cooperative, ask to speak to his/her supervisor. If you don't get a satisfactory answer, call and ask for Jennifer Parr. I'm just guessing that something can be worked out. Good luck.

We closed in 10 days back in December, 2010. We paid cash. Ask for Ron Delk and he'll help arrange it for you. He did it for us. :thumbup: :thumbup:

If this is a spec home, a new build, and your Villages rep told you it would take 30 days, then it will. This is a far different place to buy a home than back in Ohio. Even with cash. It is sometimes very hard to believe!

They have home closings scheduled weeks out.

I forgot to say welcome and you will love it. I forgot my manners!

Hi Marsha and Richard and Coco. We are building and the whole thing is taking exactly 60 days since they broke ground so I think 30 days may be reasonable. They are amazing!! By the way we move into our house on the corner of Kent Lane April 18. Stop and see us!!! Smiles,, MaryAnn and Joe Yarborough

I agree with Gracie. If they are saying that it will take 30 days to close, it’s probably because they have that many closings lined up in front of you. I’m not doubting that others may have been able to close in fewer days, but it probably depends on the time of year and amount of homes sold in any given month. In my case, I wanted to close in something like 24 days, but wasn’t able to, simply because there just wasn’t a closing appointment available in their schedule. They were able to get me closed in 28 days, but that was as quick as they could make it happen.

Thanks everyone for your comments. They were helpful. Can't wait to get there and meet everyone.

My wife works at the mortgage company and on (cash sales ) watches quick closings every day. From Cleveland originally and as they say Cleveland is a great place to be from. Wooster use to deliver to Rubber Made. produced the yellow plate that was given away by Mainstay dog food. about 30 years ago

I used to live about 2 miles from that Rubbermaid plant,....it was a sad, sad time for the Wooster area and their workers when they moved out of there.

I just closed in Dec 2011 on a new villa and the papers I signed said I had to close within 30 days or I would start paying interest and a penalty for not closing within 30days. So I am not sure why your realtor is saying that to you because I was warned that I had to be closed within the 30 days. Trust me if you have cash no problem and you will be able to close within a week. If you are using a lender that could take the whole 30 days. I pushed my lender like crazy to insure I would be closed within the 30 days and I made it by one day.

Good luck and welcome to the Villages!:a040:
