Hey Charles! Thank you for reaching out to us. Regarding the receipt, you received when you purchased your home. Depending on how you purchased it, the fact that you paid cash should not make it impossible for you to find another copy of the receipt. Because real estate transactions deal with large sums of money, both parties should have proof of the transaction. The best way to get a copy is by contacting the other party involved in the purchase, the real estate agent if you used one, or any other third party that might be involved.
