How liens and tax payoffs work
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Your liens are paid off from the sale at closing. The current creditor or tax office confirms its amount and payment instructions; the title company reviews the records and coordinates what is needed for the closing.
Records help, but you can call before you have everything
Start with the street address. If you have them, bring the latest property-tax bill, lien or court notice, creditor name, payoff statement, mortgage information, parcel number, or case number. A creditor or tax office can confirm its current balance; the title company checks ownership and recorded claims. We can talk through the property while those records are being gathered.
If the payoff is more than the house is worth
Think the payoff is more than the house is worth? Ask us — we've gotten lenders to come down before.

Eau Claire property records and offices
Eau Claire includes property in both Eau Claire County and Chippewa County. Check the parcel record or tax bill for the county where the house sits before choosing an office.

Tax matters and mortgage foreclosure are separate
A property-tax notice or tax-sale matter is not the same as a lender's mortgage- foreclosure case. Check the issuer and the current record for the matter named in your notice; do not assume the balance or deadline is the same. For an Eau Claire County mortgage-foreclosure sale, check the Eau Claire County Sheriff foreclosure information. For a property in Chippewa County, follow the current county or court information identified in its notice.
Wisconsin real estate transfer fee
On a sale that isn't exempt, Wisconsin charges the seller 30 cents for every $100 of the sale price, or part of $100. That's $300 on a $100,000 sale. It's collected when the deed is recorded. Some transfers are exempt, and recording and other closing charges are separate. When you sell to us, we pay the Wisconsin real estate transfer fee.
