I am a co-signer on a mortgage, do I have the right to sell the property?

If you co-signed, then your also on the deed.. so you do have the right to sell the property, however, the primary borrower/owner will also have to sign. ..

Maybe. To be able to sell a property, you need to own it. Just because you are on the mortgage does not automatically mean you are on title. Although true, most lenders DO require all borrowers to be on title, other steps can be taken to remove a borrower from title while remaining obligated on the note. If you are an owner, then you have rights to sell. However, in order to sell, you need the approval of ALL owners. If owners cannot agree, then it may be necessary to get a court order to force the sale of the property. A common issue is borrower "C" co-signs for borrower "B" Borrower B does not pay timely (or not at all) and C is stuck holdiong the bag. C wants to sell, but unless b signs the transfer deed, C can't sell. A court order allows C to sell with or without B's cooperation. ~ Bert Carpenter, The LoansA2z team of NOVA Home Loans ~ NMLS 40586 ~ Certified by the National Association of Mortgage Professionals and Licensed in California and Arizona ~ Licensed in California and Arizona ~ www.LoansA2z.com 888-889-9950

Everyone on the deed will need to agree to sell as signatures by all are needed. If you just co-signed on the loan you may or may not be on the deed. I would check with the title company / escrow attorney that handled the closing.

All those on the title must sign off ownership interest, for a conventional sale. You can not force a sale, without legal action to partitiion the title.

You cannot sell without the primary borrower.

You have a right to be involved in the sale, as long as everybody on Title agrees to sell the property.

Yes you do, but at closing everyone that is on the Deed must sign over their ownership rights at closing. This can change thgough if there are extenuating like a death of the Primary Borrower or possbily a divorce decree. A power of attorney can work as well if the Primary is not available such as being deployed over seas. Hope this can guide you in the right direction.

All owners have to agree to sell the property

the answer is "maybe"- are you also on the title? the other parties that own the house on title will also have to sign-
