When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Your liens are paid off from the sale at closing.
You don't need to pay off your back taxes before we settle. We buy houses with back taxes and liens — payoffs get handled through the closing, not by you upfront. The creditor or tax office provides current payoff amounts and instructions; those amounts are separate from the closing costs we pay and affect what remains in the settlement figures.
Your mortgage balance, lien payoffs, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate items. Bring the latest statement or notice if you have it; if you do not, call with the address and we can talk through the next record to request.
