When you are looking to sell your house quickly, it is in your best interest to have all of the documents needed to sell your house available before you even get an offer on your house. You don’t want to have to stall the sale of your house due to missing documents or permits.
Here is a list of documents you may want to have ahead of time.
- Deed to the property
- Title insurance policy
- Property taxes
- Mortgage statements – you will need your payoff amounts from all lenders.
- Insurance
- Inspection report – in most cases, the buyer will get their own inspection report but if you have a recent one it can be useful.
- Warranties – if you have warranties on your home or appliances, the new buyer will appreciate having those available.
- Leases – if you have a tenant in the property, you will need a current lease agreement for the new buyer.
- Utility bills – these will provide a guideline for expected utility costs so the buyer will know what to expect.
- Termite inspection – it is typically your responsibility to deliver the house free and clear of termites.
Now that you have all of the necessary documents, you can sell your house fast and avoid any last minute surprises. Be sure to check with your local Realtor as the documents may vary for your area. Real estate agents or title companies can help you prepare exactly what documents will be required for your area.
