A shorter list than it first appears
Most of the sale's paperwork is not yours to create.
Across the states we have researched, sellers usually prepare about 4 items themselves. The guide for your state shows the whole sale while keeping your part easy to spot.
Who handles the rest
The title company, attorney, lender, county, or buyer—and when each item appears.
Where the answer came from
The statute, commission guidance, or published form behind each state-specific point.
Two details worth knowing
The house can add paperwork too.
Your state guide asks the questions that change the list. These two are common almost everywhere.
Federal lead-paint rules commonly add a disclosure, an EPA pamphlet, and a chance for the buyer to test.
Understand the lead disclosure →The association may add its rules, budget, assessment information, and a resale certificate or estoppel letter.
Understand HOA documents →Why only 31 states?
We publish a state only after we have checked it.
Each guide is built from published statutes, forms, commission guidance, and customary closing information. The other states will appear as that research is completed.
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.

A Room keeps your documents beside the dates, messages, and decisions they belong to.
