You'll need documents that prove ownership, outline property details, and support a smooth closing. Sudbury realtor Tyler Peroni breaks it down in plain English so you know exactly what to gather.
Here’s what most Sudbury sellers need:
1. Your Property’s Legal Documents
This includes your deed, survey (if you have one), and legal description of the property. Don’t worry if you can’t find everything — Tyler helps track down missing documents.
2. Mortgage Information
Your lender will provide a payout statement showing what’s left on your mortgage and any penalties. This helps you understand your final proceeds and plan your move.
3. Utility and Tax Information
Buyers often ask for proof of your property taxes, heating costs, hydro bills, and water bills so they know what to expect. Tyler collects these early so nothing slows down the deal.
4. Receipts for Upgrades or Repairs
Anything big you’ve done — a new roof, furnace, windows, electrical upgrades — holds value. Receipts help prove the work was done properly and can ease concerns during inspection.
5. Home Insurance Details
You’ll need to keep insurance active until closing day. Your lawyer and the buyer’s team may ask for basic info.
6. Completed Seller Property Information Statement (If You Choose to Provide One)
In Ontario, this form is optional. Tyler discusses the pros and cons so you can decide whether to use it. Transparency can build trust — but only when done correctly.
7. Rental Contracts
If you rent the hot water tank, furnace, or any equipment, you’ll need those agreements ready. Buyers need to know what they’re assuming.
The paperwork may look like a lot, but Tyler organizes everything step-by-step so the selling process feels smooth and stress-free.
