When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Your liens are paid off from the sale at closing.
A lien is a legal claim that can affect the property or the money due at closing. A payoff is the current amount and instructions the creditor or tax office gives to satisfy an account. The title company checks ownership and recorded claims for the sale; the creditor or responsible office confirms its current payoff and release instructions.
The property address is enough to start the conversation. If you have one, a tax bill, parcel number, lien or court notice, creditor contact, or payoff statement can help us understand the question. You do not have to gather every document before calling. A public assessment or recorded document is not the same as a current payoff statement.
Think the payoff is more than the house is worth? Ask us — we've gotten lenders to come down before.
