Alaska does not charge a state real estate transfer tax or deed tax. A 2024 law bars new state, borough, and city taxes on real-property transfers but preserves earlier local ordinances, so a closing professional should confirm whether a preserved local tax applies to your property. The State Recorder’s Office charges $20 for the first page of a document and $5 for each additional page, with small extra charges in some cases; the title company or closing professional confirms the exact recording charges. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Your mortgage, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes remain separate.

Those balances are separate from closing costs. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs; that does not pay your mortgage, liens, back taxes, or share of current property taxes. Use the current tax account, lien information, and title review to understand what would be deducted or otherwise addressed for the property.

Often, a sale can still be discussed before the trustee’s sale, but check the actual notice, amount due, and deadline right away. Alaska home loans commonly use a deed of trust, so foreclosure is usually nonjudicial: the trustee sells at a public auction without a court case. The trustee must record a notice of default at least 30 days after the default and at least 90 days before the sale, then mail it by certified mail within 10 days of recording. A missed-payment default can generally be cured, and the sale stopped, by paying the amount in default plus foreclosure fees and costs before the sale. Have the title company or an attorney confirm the current deadline and amount needed. Our agreement of sale will often get a trustee's sale postponed so we can close. Signing alone doesn't postpone it automatically; we use the agreement to ask for the postponement, and it works more often than people think.

No. Start with the property address, what you know about its condition, who is living there, and the timing you are facing. You can call before every paper is gathered; a notice, deed, lease, estate paper, or tax record can help answer the next question when you have it.
