Each step in the process of selling a house comes with documentation you will need to give your agent, buyers, and mortgage companies. You can save yourself the time and frustration of searching through old files or boxes to find what you need before you list.

These Are The Documents That You Will Likely Need To Sell Your House:

• The sale contract with the purchase price for your home purchase

• All documents related to title or ownership

• All property surveys

• All permits, certificates, or other documents that are related to renovations

• You will need to disclose receipts for repairs or improvements.

• Copies of all pre-sale inspection reports

• All correspondence regarding matters that could impact the home's value

• Your mortgage documents, including a payoff estimation from your lender

• Tax records

• Monthly dues as well as the covenants, conditions, and restrictions applicable homeowners associations

• Maintenance and home repair records

• Warranty information and manuals for appliances that are sold together with the home

• Names and addresses of public schools that are aligned with your address
  

Each state has its own disclosure laws. To give potential buyers information about your home and its condition, you will need to complete a lengthy Seller's Disclosure Statement. You don't want to risk faking it as it is a legal document. You can help ease the process by providing receipts and other documentation if your home has been in trouble.
