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 Agape Homes , where we’ve worked for many years in Nashville 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)

DURING LISTING
- Listing Agreement (if using a real estate agent)

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.
