Seller situation

You live outside Kentucky and own a home here

Distance turns a small problem into an expensive one. A leak you would have caught in a weekend becomes a rebuilt floor, and a tax notice sent to an old address becomes a delinquency.

What you can do without coming to Kentucky

Nearly all of it. Photos and a walkthrough can be handled by us or by anyone local you trust. Documents can generally be signed where you live and returned by mail. The piece that requires attention is notarization: Kentucky county clerks have specific requirements for title documents, and an out-of-state notarization occasionally needs a second look. Confirm with the clerk in that county before you sign anything, not after.

Fix your mailing address today

The most common avoidable disaster for out-of-state owners is a tax bill mailed to an address you left in 2014. Update the mailing address with the property valuation administrator in that county, and with the park if there is one. Delinquency notices do not follow you.

Getting eyes on the property honestly

If you have not seen the home in years, assume the condition is worse than your memory. Before accepting any offer sight-unseen, ask the buyer for dated photos of the roof, the underside of the home, the floors near the bathrooms, and the utility connections. Any serious buyer already took them.
