I have no idea. I just bought without a loan and didn’t have to provide. Bought a year ago also and didn’t provide. I’m with you in not giving anyone info they don’t need—especially ssn.Why would a title company request a W9 for a buyer when there is no loan involved? Is this standard practice? I'm not crazy about providing my ssn if it's not required.
The seller address is in the US so I assume they are not international.
