Selling a Difficult or Damaged House Remote Sellers

How Do I Sell My Las Vegas House if I Live in Another State?

Quick Answer

You generally do not need to move back to Nevada simply to sell Nevada property. Many transaction functions can be coordinated remotely, subject to title, escrow, notarization and document requirements.

Start With the House

Lisa can help you understand the current condition, market value, repairs, belongings, tenants, HOA, and showing readiness.

Local Access

Someone needs reliable property access for photos, contractors, inspections, appraisal, and buyer showings.

Lisa can coordinate access within the scope of the listing relationship.

Remote Signing

Depending on the transaction, signing may involve:

  • Electronic signatures
  • Mobile notary
  • Remote notarization where accepted
  • Overnight documents
  • Other escrow-approved methods

Important

DO NOT ASSUME EVERY DOCUMENT IS DOCUSIGN-ABLE. Title, escrow and lender requirements determine what must be signed in person or notarized, and which remote methods are accepted.

Wire Fraud

Remote sellers should be particularly careful with seller-proceeds instructions. Expect identity verification.

Important

REMOTE SELLERS AND WIRE FRAUD: Never rely on emailed closing or wiring instructions. Call a verified phone number you already have to confirm every instruction before sending or receiving funds. See the wire-fraud and seller-proceeds guide and the remote closing hub for the full picture.

Property DNA

A nationwide Property DNA report can also help an owner research property information before deciding how to proceed. Property DNA is a research report, not a title search, title insurance or legal advice. Reports are generally delivered by email within about one hour during normal business hours, and requests route to the secure Property DNA request form on this site.
