When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Your liens are paid off from the sale at closing.
The creditor or tax office confirms its current balance and payoff instructions. The title company checks ownership and recorded claims for the transaction and works with the relevant parties on payoff and release details. Those lien and tax payoffs come from the sale proceeds; they are separate from our payment of closing costs.
Start with the address. Bring whatever you have: a tax bill or delinquency notice, payoff statement, lien or court paper, creditor name, case or parcel number, deed, assessment record, or tax-sale notice. The office or creditor named on the notice confirms its balance; the title company checks recorded claims and the payoff instructions needed for closing. An assessed value or parcel record is not the amount currently owed. You do not need to sort out the records before calling us.
Think the payoff is more than the house is worth? Ask us — we've gotten lenders to come down before.
Start with the Beckley address and the tax balance, lien, or notice that concerns you. You can call before you have every document or have confirmed a payoff. We discuss the house as it stands.
We give you a written cash offer and written terms before you decide whether to proceed. Read the sale price, payoff treatment, and closing terms before you commit.
If you choose to move ahead, the title company checks ownership and recorded claims for the transaction. The lender, creditor, or tax office confirms its current amount and instructions so the closing figures can account for the property-specific payoffs.
The settlement figures show the sale price, confirmed payoffs, taxes, and amount left after the items charged in the transaction. Closing takes place through a title company.
Written offer and written terms before you commit; title-company closing.
Beckley is Raleigh County's county seat, but the City and County are separate governments. The City-hosted 2045 plan is marked draft and describes city limits with unincorporated pockets. That general map does not determine whether a particular address is inside City limits or which office has jurisdiction; use the property address for a parcel-specific question. The county offices below are county information routes.

The Clerk provides county records services. Its site says the Clerk cannot determine whether a property is free of liens, so use its records route for county documents—not as a title clearance or current payoff. The Clerk's office is at the Raleigh County Courthouse, 215 Main Street, Beckley; call 304-255-9123 for office routing.
Use the Sheriff's Tax Division for county tax-collection questions, including where to ask about a current tax account or notice. The office named on a notice can confirm the current balance and instructions; this page does not determine a parcel's tax status or sale date.
The Assessor's public map viewer offers parcel and address searches and assessment information; the page describes the viewer as still in development. Assessment and parcel records are not a creditor payoff or current tax balance. For real-estate assessment questions, call 304-255-9120.
West Virginia has a statutory process for selling tax liens on delinquent property. A lender's mortgage foreclosure is a different process with separate notices and dates. If you receive a tax-sale notice, check it with the Raleigh County Sheriff's Tax Division; for a mortgage-sale notice, follow the notice and contact named there. Verify each matter on its own—the date or status of one does not tell you the date or status of the other.
W. Va. Code Chapter 11A, Article 3: tax-lien sales · Beckley mortgage-foreclosure questions
West Virginia law sets a first county excise tax of $1.10 for each $500 or fraction of value. An additional county excise tax starts at 55 cents per $500, and a county commission may raise that additional tax to as much as $1.65 per $500. The county clerk also collects a $20 Affordable Housing Fund fee before recording. The rate that applies to a particular transfer belongs in that sale's closing figures.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including the West Virginia real estate transfer excise tax and the additional county excise tax. This does not pay your mortgage, liens, back taxes, or share of current property taxes; those are separate items.
