Most of it is not yours to create.

Across the states we have researched, sellers usually prepare about 4 items themselves. Your state's page shows the whole sale and keeps your part easy to spot.

  1. What is usually yoursDisclosures, questionnaires and records a seller commonly provides.
  2. Who handles the restThe title company, attorney, lender, county or buyer, and when each item appears.
  3. Where it came fromThe statute, commission guidance or published form behind each state-specific point.

Two things about the house change the list.

Your state's page asks the questions that matter there. These two come up almost everywhere.

Was the home built before 1978?

Federal lead-paint rules were written for homes built before 1978. They commonly add a disclosure, an EPA pamphlet, and a chance for the buyer to test.

Is the home part of an HOA?

The association may add its rules, budget, assessment information, and a resale certificate or estoppel letter.

A state appears only after we have checked it.

Each page is built from published statutes, forms, commission guidance and customary closing information. The other states arrive as that research is finished.

Before you rely on the list

This is a compilation of published state requirements, not legal advice, and no lawyer has reviewed it or your sale. Laws and forms change, counties and cities add their own rules, and whether any of this applies to you depends on facts we don't know. Treat every item as a starting point for a question, not as an answer. Confirm anything you plan to rely on against the official source we link, and run your list past a title company or an attorney licensed in your state.

These counts describe a typical sale, not yours. Which documents you need turns on facts about your home, your title, your buyer, and your county, and one unusual answer can add several or remove them.

Keighbor is not a real estate brokerage and does not represent you. Nobody here is your agent. We don't negotiate, set your price, recommend a course of action, or take a commission. We provide software that helps you organize your side of the sale.

How your Room helps with paperwork.

Every document is filed once, under the side it came from, beside the step and the date it belongs to.

Give the paperwork one place to land.

Your documents, beside the dates, messages and decisions they belong to.

Organize my sale

Room setup is free. At listing, choose $89 through the offer or $189 through closing. It's $20 less in your Room's first 14 days.

Next, tell us your name, address, and where you are in the sale. It takes about two minutes and does not list your home or contact anyone.

Rather talk it through?

Ask your AI how paperwork differs from state to state, and who usually prepares which part.
