Information for Sellers

Payoff Mortgages or Liens:

If your property  is presently  mortgaged,  our office will need your mortgage lenders account/loan number and their contact information.   We will need you to sign an authorization to release payoff information and we will also need you to  sign  an  authorization  to  close  and  terminate  any  equity  line  of  credit mortgage that you have on the property.     The mortgage(s) will be paid off at the time of closing using proceeds from the sale, if any

Good Funds:

If you as a seller are expecting to have to bring in money to close the sale of your property, Good Funds is required under Ohio Code. Good funds are in the form of a cashier's check or wire transfer.  Should you need our wiring instructions or any further information please contact us.

Proof of identity:

All seller(s) and their spouse(s) must bring a valid current government-issued picture I.D. (Drivers License, passport or govement issued ID card) with you for proper identification, when you sign your documents. The signing of documents cannot take place if you do not have this identification with you.  If you or your spouse cannot be present to sign please contact our office so we can work out other arrangements.

Marital Status:

When the order is placed, our office will need to know the marital status of all the sellers in this transaction and the names of their spouses.  Please also remember that all seller's and their spouses must sign the Deed,  even if the spouse is not a current vested owner in the property.   Ohio has dower(marital) rights and all spouses need to enter into the deed in order to release any rights they may have in the property to the new buyer(s).
