Sell Your House Fast, Even With Back Taxes or Liens
Owing back taxes or having a lien on your property doesn’t have to mean years on the market. Here’s how our Retail Buyer Program gets homeowners to a closing table, liens and all.
Selling a House When You Owe Back Taxes or Have a Lien
Back taxes and liens scare off most traditional buyers, and banks won’t finance a property until they’re cleared. That leaves a lot of homeowners feeling stuck, like they have to pay everything off before they can even list. If you’re trying to sell a house with back taxes or a lien, there’s a faster path that doesn’t require you to clear anything out of pocket first.
How Back Taxes and Liens Get Paid Off When You Sell to Us
You don’t need to pay off a tax lien before selling. Through our Retail Buyer Program, we review the property, the amount owed, and any lienholders, then structure an offer that accounts for what’s owed. When the sale closes, the back taxes or lien are paid directly out of the proceeds at the title company, before anything is disbursed to you. You never write a separate check to the county or a lienholder to make the sale happen.
Beth had a house in rough condition with back tax liens she couldn’t get paid off, which had scared off other buyers. We structured her sale through the Retail Buyer Program so the liens were paid directly at closing, and she still walked away with money in her pocket. Read Beth’s full story →
