If you’re selling a house for the first time (or heck… even for the second or third time), then you’re probably wondering what paperwork is required to sell your home.
That’s a common question we get at Flavortown Properties, where we’ve worked for many years in Columbus buying and selling real estate.
And since we’ve got a good bit of experience, we thought we’d help.
Here is the main paperwork you’ll need to worry about when selling your home.
BEFORE LISTING
- Home Appraisal (from when you purchased the home)
- Mortgage and Financing Documents
- Deed
- Original Sales Contract (from when you purchased the home)
- Property Survey (if applicable)
- Certificate of Occupancy (if applicable)
- Tax Records
- HOA Documents (if applicable)
DURING LISTING
- Listing Agreement (if using a real estate agent)
- Market Analysis & Marketing Materials (often done by real estate agent)
- Easement Agreements (if applicable)
- Statutory Disclosure Forms
ACCEPTING OFFER
- Purchase Offer (made by potential buyer and/or their real estate agent)
- Final Purchase & Sale Agreement (when offer is accepted)
- Affidavit of Title

CLOSING

We know that’s a lot of paperwork… but selling a home isn’t a walk in the park — there are a lot of moving parts to keep in mind.
