Fairbanks, Alaska · Fairbanks North Star Borough
When you sell to us, we can set it up so you don't have to prepay anything — it comes out at closing.
Yes. We buy houses with back taxes and liens — payoffs get handled through the closing, not by you upfront. We buy houses as-is in Fairbanks and Fairbanks North Star Borough, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us.
Call 888-274-5006 now, even if all you have is the address or a notice.
Share the property address and whatever you have about a notice, payoff, creditor, or Borough tax account. You can start the conversation before every balance or record is gathered.
We'll give you a written cash offer within 24 hours.
Tell us the address and what you know about the notice, payoff, creditor, or tax account.

When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Your liens are paid off from the sale at closing.
Closing costs and property-specific debts are separate. Our closing-cost promise does not pay your mortgage, lien balance, back taxes, or your share of current property taxes. The creditor or tax office provides the current payoff amount and instructions; those amounts are listed with the other sale figures at closing.
A payoff statement gives the amount and instructions for satisfying a debt as of a stated date. The amount can change, so the closing company uses current written figures rather than an old notice or estimate.
Bring the Borough tax notice or account statement, parcel number, mortgage statement, creditor payoff, court paper, or recorded document you have. The Borough or creditor confirms its balance and payoff instructions; the title company checks the property records and works with the parties on the documents needed for closing. You can call before you have everything.
Think the payoff is more than the house is worth? Ask us — we've gotten lenders to come down before.
Start with the Fairbanks address, the notice or payoff amount you have seen, and the timing that concerns you. You do not need to settle the balance before calling.
We review the house as-is and put the offer and terms in writing before you commit. Compare the proposed price and payoff treatment with your other options before deciding.
The title company checks ownership and recorded claims for the transaction. The Borough, lender, or other creditor supplies current payoff and release instructions for its account.
The closing statement shows the sale price, payoff amounts, taxes, fees, and the remaining proceeds. Written offer and written terms before you commit; title-company closing.
Use the office responsible for the record or notice in front of you. A Borough property-tax notice and a lender or trustee mortgage-foreclosure notice are separate matters. If a Borough notice mentions a tax sale, ask the Borough for the current account and status; for a lender notice, contact the lender or trustee named on it. See our Fairbanks mortgage-foreclosure page for that separate process.
Start here for Borough real-property assessment and tax information. Use the account or parcel details on your notice, and contact the Borough through its official website with questions about a current balance or a Borough notice.
Use the State Recorder's Office for recording information and records for documents filed in Alaska's recording districts. The title company can check which recorded claims apply to the specific property.
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. Have the closing professional confirm whether a preserved local tax applies to this property. The sale does involve State Recorder's Office recording fees: $20 for the first document page and $5 for each additional page, with small extra charges in some cases. The title company or closing professional confirms the exact recording charges.

Use the Fairbanks home-sale net proceeds calculator with your own estimated value, mortgage payoff, lien or tax amount, repairs, and closing-cost assumptions. Just an estimate — the actual number could be more or less depending on the home's condition.
Yes. We buy houses with back taxes and liens — payoffs get handled through the closing, not by you upfront. Call before you have every notice or account detail; start with the property address and what you know.
Start with the property address, parcel number if you have it, any Borough tax notice or account statement, lender or creditor payoff statement, and any court or recorded-document notice. You can call with only what you have so far.
The Borough tax office or creditor provides its current balance and payoff instructions. The title company checks the property records and works from the written payoff and release information for the closing.
Think the payoff is more than the house is worth? Ask us — we've gotten lenders to come down before.
No. Ask the Borough about a property-tax account or any tax notice; ask the lender or trustee named on a mortgage-foreclosure notice about that separate process. A tax notice and a lender sale notice have different contacts and records.
Alaska does not charge a state real-estate transfer tax or deed tax. Earlier local transfer-tax ordinances may remain in place, so have the closing professional confirm whether one applies to the property. Recording fees are separate.
