Who pays Kentucky real estate transfer tax and closing costs?
Kentucky’s real estate transfer tax is 50 cents for each $500 of value or fraction of $500. The grantor—the seller—owes it by law, and the county clerk collects it before the deed can be recorded. Some transfers are exempt, and recording fees are separate, so the title company can confirm whether an exemption applies to your sale. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including the Kentucky real estate transfer tax. Your mortgage balance, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate.
Can I sell before a Kentucky foreclosure auction?
A sale may still be possible if the loan can be paid off before the sale. Kentucky foreclosures go through circuit court: the lender files a lawsuit, and if it wins a judgment, the court orders the house sold at a public auction run by the master commissioner. The current court papers and sale date still control.
Can I ask about an inherited Corbin house before every estate paper is ready?
Yes. You can start the conversation before every document is gathered. If a personal representative will sign, the court appointment and will determine whether a separate District Court order is needed to sell the real estate. A surviving spouse may have rights even if not named on the deed. The appointment, will, deed, and any court order determine who can sign.
Can I sell a Corbin house while a tenant is still living there?
Yes. Selling a Kentucky rental house does not end the lease, and the sale is valid without the tenant’s consent. The lease and occupancy details still affect what happens next; we can talk through the house as it is.
Can I call before I have all the paperwork figured out?
Yes. Call with the property address and the question on your mind. You do not need to have every document gathered or every decision made before we talk.
