How lien and tax payoffs work
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Your liens are paid off from the sale at closing.
A creditor or tax office gives the current balance and payoff instructions. We work with the title company to review ownership and property records and coordinate that payoff information for closing.
Records and the next step
A recent tax bill, lien or court notice, payoff letter, or parcel number can help. You can call with just the East Providence address and whatever you know about the situation. The creditor or tax office confirms the current balance; we work with the title company on the property records and payoff details.
If the payoff is the problem
Think the payoff is more than the house is worth? Ask us — we've gotten lenders to come down before.
What happens next

Tell us the East Providence address and what you know about the tax or lien. Start with what you have; you do not need to sort out every payoff before calling.
2. Review the written terms
You get a written offer and written terms before you commit, and we close through a title company. No agent commissions when you sell to us. No fees.
3. Confirm title and payoff details
We work with the title company and the creditor or tax office to confirm the property records and current payoff instructions for closing.
4. Review the closing figures and close
The title company prepares the closing figures and handles the closing. Close as fast as 7 days when title and closing details allow.
East Providence property-tax and land-record offices
An East Providence property-tax sale has its own notice and date; it is separate from a lender’s mortgage foreclosure. For the property-tax account, recorded land documents, or a court case, these are the relevant offices.

Rhode Island real estate conveyance tax
Rhode Island charges a real estate conveyance tax when a deed is recorded. Since October 1, 2025, the rate is $3.75 for each $500 of the price, or any part of $500. The price includes a mortgage or lien that stays on the property. In 2026, a second tax at the same rate applies to the part of a home sale price above $824,000; that threshold is adjusted for inflation each year. State law makes the seller responsible unless the parties agree otherwise. Some transfers are exempt.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including Rhode Island's real estate conveyance tax.

East Providence property liens and back taxes questions
Can I sell my East Providence house with back taxes or liens before paying them?
When you sell to us, we can set it up so you don't have to prepay anything — it comes out at closing. We buy houses with back taxes and liens. Call with the property address and whatever notice or payoff information you have; you can call before you have every record.
Who checks my current tax balance or lien payoff?
The creditor or tax office confirms its current balance and payoff instructions. We work with the title company to review the property records and coordinate payoff information for closing.
Is an East Providence property-tax sale the same as mortgage foreclosure?
No. A property-tax sale and a lender’s mortgage foreclosure are separate processes with separate notices and dates. Call us with the notice you received, and we’ll talk through it with you.
What if the mortgage payoff is more than my house is worth?
Think the payoff is more than the house is worth? Ask us — we've gotten lenders to come down before.
What should I have when I call about a lien or back taxes?
The property address is enough to start. A recent tax bill, lien or court notice, payoff letter, or parcel number can help, but you can call before you have those.
