Exciting! Now, you’re probably asking yourself, “What documents do I need to sell my house?” We’re so glad you asked. Keep reading to find out all the paperwork (some of it might be available electronically) you need to prepare to sell your home, list it, market it, and close on it. The requirements may differ between states and counties, so check your local regulations as well. ### Preparing to Sell The longest list of documents is the one for preparing to sell. If you are an organized person, you probably have most of this in one place. Otherwise, give yourself time to get everything together and order what you don’t have or can’t find. You will need: - Your original sales contract for your home with the purchase price. - Title and ownership documents, including a property survey, a [certificate of occupancy](https://info.courthousedirect.com/blog/bid/295722/what-do-affidavits-of-occupancy-do), and [certificates of compliance](https://info.courthousedirect.com/blog/bid/263554/what-is-a-compliance-certificate) with building and zoning codes. - Your mortgage statement and financing documents. - [Property tax records](https://www.courthousedirect.com/ProductInfo/PropertyTaxReportInfo.aspx), including property, school district, and other tax information. - A professional appraisal performed when you bought the house. Include documented changes to the appraisal since then. - A record of homeowner's insurance. - Professional inspection reports performed before you put the home up for sale. - Receipts and documentation of [capital improvements](https://info.courthousedirect.com/blog/bid/314202/what-is-a-capital-improvement-and-how-can-it-boost-your-appraisal-value) like a new kitchen or A/C unit. - Home repair and maintenance records. (Be aware maintenance does not go into your tax basis.) - Manuals and warranty information for any major appliances you sell with the home. - Homeowners association documents, including CC&Rs. - The lease agreement if you are selling a rental home. - Anything relevant to the sale like a file on the builder if you are selling a newly built home. That's an impressive list. If you have hard copies, create folders, and keep them in a secure location. #### Why do you need some of these documents? The **original sales contract** is an agreement you made with the previous owner when you bought the home. It contains the terms of purchase, maps out the details of the transaction, and provides the potential buyer with information on who owned the house before you.  A **professional appraisal** from the original purchase is an assessment of the home's fair market value when you bought it. It directly influences how much a mortgage lender will lend to a buyer. If you refinanced while you owned the house, you might have an updated appraisal. You will need to get a [new appraisal](https://info.courthousedirect.com/blog/bid/336900/how-long-are-property-appraisals-valid), too, for those buyers who require a mortgage to purchase the house. The **mortgage statement** is necessary in the case of selling the home before you pay it off. Your lender or servicer can provide the statement showing the payoff amount, which is the total you need to pay to satisfy the terms of your loan. It includes any interest you owe until the day you pay in full. The payoff is not the same as the current balance appearing on your bill. Your lender is required to provide your payoff amount to you. The [Consumer Financial Protection Bureau](https://www.consumerfinance.gov/ask-cfpb/what-is-a-payoff-amount-is-my-payoff-amount-the-same-as-my-current-balance-en-205/) says so. Once you know that, you can calculate potential proceeds from the sale. For total transparency, have your **homeowner’s insurance records** ready. Buyers want to know about damages and repairs made. Also, the buyer needs proof that you insured the house, plus a claims report or list of all claims on your home since you bought it. If your home is in a neighborhood with an HOA, the buyer may need the following documents: - Articles of incorporation - Bylaws  - Rules and regulations - Homeowners dues amount statement - Copies of the minutes from the Association’s meetings of the past two years - The Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions (CC&Rs) Many HOAs are moving these online. Check with the management company and your state and county to see which of these documents may be required and how to obtain a copy. If you have done any remodeling or added buildings, the buyer will want to know the details. Also, the cost of improvements may mitigate some of your capital gains taxes from the home sale. Copies of **past utility bills**, particularly at the height of summer or winter, let buyers know how energy efficient the house is, and what they might expect to pay themselves.

Now is the best time to start a realtor file containing the listing agreement, a proposed marketing plan, the seller’s net sheet, and any written communication. You may need to refer to them from time to time. Keep the details of any other professionals engaged in the sale of your property, such as stagers, contractors, electricians, plumbers, movers, or auction houses. If you live in a state that [requires an attorney](https://info.courthousedirect.com/blog/when-should-you-hire-a-real-estate-attorney) to be involved in the sale, create a file. If you already know there is a lien on the home or that you are going for a joint sale, [short sale](https://info.courthousedirect.com/blog/bid/314209/what-are-short-sales), or estate sale, an attorney is a must. Most states require a **Residential Property Disclosure Form**. Many of the answers to this form can be found in the documents you gathered while preparing to list your home. If your home was built before 1978, you need a **lead-based paint addendum** as well. If anything in the house is rented and remains with the home, get a copy of the rental agreement.  ### While the House Is On the Market and Post Offer You need to put together a **preliminary** [**title report**](https://info.courthousedirect.com/blog/what-is-a-title-report) (known as a prelim). You have a list of mandatory disclosures to complete as well as a pre-inspection report. In California, you also need a transfer disclosure statement and a natural hazards report. After a potential buyer tenders an offer, you have documents for the offer and counteroffer. Then you receive the final purchase and sale agreement, plus a contingency form.

At closing, you need: - Your most recent tax statement - A seller's estimated settlement, also known as a Closing Statement - A copy of the deed - A 1099-s tax form If you have never bought or sold a home before, be prepared to go through a mountain of paperwork. As you can see from the lists, half of it is needed from the time you prepare to sell.
