We have two ways to buy. A Cash Offer is built for speed, condition, and tough situations — heavy repairs, tight timelines, difficult circumstances. EZ Sale is often the better fit when the house doesn't need major repairs and you want a higher number. Either way, you compare written numbers and you pick what works best for you.

Maine taxes each deed that transfers real estate at $2.20 for every $500 of value or fraction of $500. The tax is split evenly between seller and buyer. Since November 1, 2025, the part of the value above $1,000,000 carries an extra $3.80 per $500. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including the real estate transfer tax. Your mortgage payoff, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate.

Often, yes, if a sale can close before the legal deadline. Maine foreclosures go through court. For a home loan on the house you live in, the lender must first give written notice and at least 35 days to catch up. After you are sued, if you live in the 1–4 unit home, you can ask for mediation through the court’s Foreclosure Diversion Program within 20 days of receiving the court papers. If mediation is scheduled, no final judgment can issue until the mediator’s report is done. If the court rules for the lender, the redemption period is usually 90 days from judgment to pay what the court says is owed. After that period ends, your right to pay off the loan ends; the lender then advertises a public sale, held 30 to 45 days after the first ad. A sale that closes during the redemption period can pay the amount the court says is owed. If the court has entered a foreclosure judgment, tell us the date right away so we can try to close before the redemption period ends.
