What is Included in the Infinity Title FSBO Package?

While selling your home without a real estate agent may save you money on agent commissions, it also places the responsibility for legal compliance, property disclosures, and contract management squarely on you as the homeowner.  To help you navigate the complexities of an independent sale, Infinity Title Agency provides a comprehensive resource kit.  Our FSBO Packet for Ohio includes:


  • Ohio Residential Property Disclosure:  A state-mandated form required by Ohio Revised Code Section 5302.30 to disclose known property conditions to potential buyers.
  • Sample Agreement of Sale: A professionally drafted purchase agreement you and your buyer can use a legally binding contract.
  • Contract-to-Close Flow Chart:  A step-by-step visual guide detailing every phase of the closing process, from the initial signed contract to "Moving Day".
  • EPA Lead-Based Paint Disclosure:  A federal requirement for any property built prior to 1978.

Why Ohio For Sale By Owner Listings Need a FSBO Resource Kit

Selling a home is one of the most significant financial transactions you will ever make.  Without a realtor, you must ensure you are following all federal and Ohio state laws to avoid legal pitfalls.

  • Legal Compliance:  In Ohio, home sellers are held to the same legal standards as real estate agents regarding fair housing and mandatory disclosures.
  • Secure Fund Management:  As your neutral third-party escrow agent, we securely hold the buyer's earnest money and coordinate the final disbursement of funds.
  • Clear Title Transfer:  We conduct a thorough title search to ensure there are no undisclosed liens or encumbrances, protecting both you and the buyer from future legal disputes.

Do I need a realtor to sell my house in Ohio?


No, it is legal in Ohio to sell your own home; however, you must follow the same disclosure and contract laws as agent-represented sales.

Who draws up the contract in a FSBO sale?


Either the buyer or seller can initiate the contract.  Infinity Title Agency provides a sample Agreement of Sale in our FSBO packet to serve as a starting point for both parties.

What disclosures are required for selling a home in Ohio?


Ohio law requires a Residential Property Disclosure Form.  Additional, properties built before 1978 require a Lead-Based Paint Disclosure.

In a typical transaction, costs like the owner's title policy and escrow fees are often split between the buyer and seller, though these terms are negotiable within your purchase agreement.  You can refer to our Who Pays For What resource page for additional information on buyer and seller costs.
