With 12 years of experience in the title industry, I am passionate about helping make every real estate transaction a smooth and successful experience. I enjoy building relationships and working closely with realtors, lenders, buyers, and sellers throughout the closing process. There is nothing more rewarding than bringing all the pieces together and getting each transaction to the closing table!

Outside of work, my greatest joy is spending time with my husband and our two sons. You can usually find me cheering on my boys at one of their sporting events or enjoying the outdoors in my free time. I believe in building strong relationships, staying involved in my community, and making the most of every opportunity both personally and professionally.

Caity Mills

My journey into the title industry began as a happy accident when a move from New Jersey to Florida led to an unexpected opportunity with a home builder's title agency. I instantly enjoyed the work. After later relocating to Ohio, I spent nine years with a title agency processing refinance transactions across most states, before joining the team at Eques in April of 2026.

Outside of the office, I am a proud mom to two grown children who now live on their own, and we love getting together as often as we can. I am also very involved in animal welfare and spend much of my free time fostering, networking, and volunteering to help rescue animals find homes.

What is a FSBO?

A For Sale By Owner (FSBO) is method of selling a property where the owner takes on the responsibility of marketing and selling their home without the assistance of a real estate agent. This approach homeowners to save on commission fees typically paid to agents. FSBO sellers often use online listings, signage, and open houses to attract potential buyers while handling negotiations and paperwork themselves. It's a popular choice for those who are knowledgeable about the real estate market and prefer to have full control over the sales process.

Do I need a Purchase Agreement?

When selling a home as a For Sale By Owner (FSBO), having a purchase contract is essential. This document outlines the terms of the sale, including the purchase price, closing date, and any contingencies. A clear contract helps ensure that both the seller and buyer fully understand their rights and obligations, minimizing the potential for misunderstandings. By having a well-drafted purchase contract, FSBO sellers can protect their interests and facilitate a smoother transaction process.

What Else Do I Need to Do?

When selling a home as a For Sale By Owner (FSBO), it's essential to include a residential property disclosure to inform potential buyers of any known issues or defects with the property. This transparency helps build trust and can protect you from future legal disputes. Additionally, if your home was built before 1978, a lead paint disclosure is required to inform buyers about the risks of lead exposure. This ensures compliance with federal regulations and safeguards the health of prospective residents.
