The ownership details on your property listing must match the recorded deed and supporting legal documents.

Match the recorded deed
The owner name or names must appear exactly as listed on the recorded deed, including spelling, order, and formatting.

Use full legal names
Enter each owner’s complete legal name. Any name change must be supported by legal documentation, such as a marriage certificate, divorce decree, or court order.

Include all co-owners
Every co-owner listed on the deed must be included. The ownership type, such as joint tenancy or tenancy in common, should also match the deed.

Confirm authority to sell
When selling on behalf of the property owner, the authorized individual must provide valid documentation, such as a Power of Attorney or Authorization Letter.

Verify entity-owned properties
When a property is owned by a trust, LLC, or corporation, the entity’s name must match the deed exactly. The person signing on behalf of the entity must also have proper authorization.

Check for liens or claims
The title should be free of any undisclosed liens, ownership claims, or other encumbrances. A title search can help identify potential issues.

Provide documents for recent purchases
When a property was recently purchased and the public records have not yet been updated, additional documents, such as the Closing Disclosure or recorded deed, may be required to confirm ownership.
