Thinking about selling your home? Before you clear out the rooms or put up that "For Sale" sign, there are 5 critical legal hurdles you need to clear first.
Getting these squared away early is the difference between a nightmare delay and a smooth, successful closing day.
Here is your pre-listing checklist:
1️⃣ Check Your Title Structure: Is it in a Trust, an LLC, or co-owned? Clear up authority early.
2️⃣ Close Out Open Permits: Local building department delays can ruin a pending deal.
3️⃣ Gather Key Docs: Collect your surveys, COs, utility bills, and mortgage payoffs now.
4️⃣ Know the Tax Impact: Understand capital gains and transfer taxes before you see the profits.
5️⃣ Hire an Attorney Early: Don't wait until you accept an offer to protect your interests.
