How can I find out how much my husband's house sold for a few years ago?

I want to know how much the house sold for to see if he made $ on it. My husband and his buddy bought a house together 6 yrs ago before we were married and then ended up having a big blow up. We were still making payments on it after we were married and his friend Chad was still living there alone after we were married and not paying us a dime. We were also making payments on our home at the same time which finally forced us into bankruptcy. Chad's dad is a realtor and sold the house without telling us how much he made on it (he just told us they didn't make anything on it which we really don't believe). They aren't friends anymore by any means and we feel like we got the raw end of the deal. Chad just called this week to tell him that he found out that they overpaid on PMI on the house they owned together and needs him to sign something to get the money back ($600+). I don't trust him and don't think he'll split the $...how can we find out if this PMI thing is true?|||All owners must sign the paperwork, so if your husbands name was on the title it could not legally be sold without his signature. Perhaps this dude forged your husbands signature or con'd him into signing something he wasnt aware of. Write letters to both Chad and the Realtor (his dad) stating that you want copies of ALL documents from the sale of the home. Include the address and estimated date of sale and that the home was mutually owned and was sold without your knowledge (if this is true). Send them certified so that you have proof that they received them. Give them like 3 weeks to produce the documents. You should also be able to go down to City Hall and ask for any documents they might have (they keep records on who owns property). DO NOT sign anything else until you get these documents. If it comes to it SUE the pants off Chad and is sleezy dad.|||Go to the courthouse. It should be a matter of public record.|||You can get the selling price by going to any realtor in the area. But perhaps he sold it for way under value to a friend or for kickback money. I would make sure the home was sold for a fair price. He also could not sell the home without your husbands okay. I would get yourself a real estate attny right away and look into this matter. And do not sign anything for now the money has sat this long, it can wait untill this is resolved.|||you can call the tax office in the town which the house is listed. this is public info.or the register of deed,s office. they have all of the info.or get on your computer get the zip code plus the address bring up the house you have in question hope this help.s Bob|||Contact the county courthouse that the property is in (Register of Deeds I believe). It's a matter of public record. All they should need is the address and some time to look it up.|||www.zillow.com is just what you are looking for....|||Public tax records. Ask a local real estate agent and they'll be able to look it up for you. Alternatively, go to your local courthouse and ask there.|||Wherever you are, go and find the tax collector's office and county. I have done this, and believe it's much easier than you think. Make sure you have the address, otherwise you're out of luck. The tax assessor(sp) office will have a history on the property, taxes paid, past and current owners. You may have to do some work, but believe me, this 'can' be done. You can find out kinds of things about the house,.....and it doesn't cost a dime,......good luck,.......:%26gt;}|||go to zillow.com ad punch in the exact address, then click the 'charts and data' menu option and it will tell you the recent (last few years) sales of the house and how much it sold for.
