Do I need my original deed to sell my property?

No, as long as it has been recorded. Deeds are recorded by the county recorder of deeds and are a matter of public record. When you sell your property, your attorney or the closing company will pull your deed from the county recorder of deeds records. Deeds are not like the certificate of title to a vehicle, which must be an original. While it is good practice to keep your original deed, it is not required to sell your property, as long as it has been properly recorded.
