Clerks office should be able to get you the consideration from the recording information
Also check with the buyer; he should be able to get you a copy of the HUD 1 with the sales info on it
Contact a title company, those type of documents get recorded.
1) Get a copy of the grant deed you signed. You can do this from county public records. It will have a title company order number on it, and will likely have an escrow company order number on it.
Contact the escrow company (best) or title company and find out what they’re going to charge you to duplicate the records. You want the HUD 1.
You might also be able to get a copy of this from the federal department of housing. It is required to be filed with them. It’s probably cheaper than what escrow or title will want to charge you.
(Brokerage record keeping requirements are only 3 years here in California. I’m not certain about escrow and title. You might be past their holding period as well.)
You want to keep all real estate records a minimum of 7 years past filing the relevant tax return!
