A lien is a legal claim that can affect the house or the money due at closing. The title company checks title and recorded claims; the creditor or tax office gives its current payoff amount and instructions.
No agent commissions when you sell to us. No fees.
Start with the Florence address and what you know about the lien or tax notice. If you have a bill, creditor letter, court paper, or payoff statement, we can talk it through with you. You do not need to gather every record before calling.
Think the payoff is more than the house is worth? Ask us — we've gotten lenders to come down before.

You get a written offer and written terms before you commit, and we close through a title company.
If you choose to proceed, the title company checks ownership and recorded claims. The lender, creditor, or tax office provides current payoff and release instructions for its account.
The settlement figures show the sale price, payoffs, and closing costs. The title company prepares the closing documents and handles settlement. Close as fast as 7 days when title and closing details allow.
