What papers should I gather before I list my home? Starting early saves you stress later.
Your deed and your loan. Find your deed, and your mortgage lender’s name and loan number. Escrow needs them to pay off your loan.
HOA documents. If you have an HOA, gather its documents and contact information.
Improvements, permits and warranties. Pull together receipts and dates for big improvements, like a new roof, furnace, or water heater. Add any permits and warranties.
A few utility bills. Buyers often ask about utility costs, so keep a few recent bills.
Your seller disclosure form. These papers also help you fill out your seller disclosure form.
Keep everything in one folder.
