Introduction
Selling a home for cash is often a faster and
more straightforward process than a traditional
home sale. However, it still requires proper
documentation to ensure a smooth and legally
binding transaction. Having the right paperwork
in place helps protect both the buyer and the
seller while preventing potential legal issues.

Sales Contract (Purchase Agreement)

• A Sales Contract (or Purchase Agreement) is a
  legally binding document outlining the terms of
  the sale. It includes
• Purchase price
• Closing date
• Responsibilities of both buyer and seller
• Any contingencies (if applicable)

Property Deed Title Report

• Property Deed Transfers ownership from seller to
  buyer. Common types
• Warranty Deed Guarantees a clear title with no
  undisclosed claims.
• Quitclaim Deed Transfers ownership but does not
  guarantee title clarity.

Title Report Confirms the property is free from
liens, disputes, or unpaid taxes. A title company
or real estate attorney typically verifies this.

breakdown of the transaction, including sale
