Keene, New Hampshire · Cheshire County · Back taxes and liens
When you sell to us, we can set it up so you don't have to prepay anything — it comes out at closing.
Yes. USA Home Buyers buys houses for cash in Keene, NH and Cheshire County. We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. 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 lender, creditor, or tax office named on your notice confirms the current balance and payoff instructions. A title company checks the property records and closing figures. You can call before you have every paper. Call 888-274-5006 or send the property address to ask about a cash offer.
We'll give you a written cash offer within 24 hours.
Share the address and what you know about the lien, tax notice, or payoff.
A lien is a legal claim that can affect the property or the money due at closing. A payoff is the current amount and instructions a lender, creditor, or tax office provides for an obligation.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Your liens are paid off from the sale at closing.
The lender, creditor, or tax office confirms its current figures and instructions. The title company checks ownership and property records for the sale and uses confirmed payoff information in the proposed closing figures.
Start with the Keene property address; you do not have to gather everything before calling. If you have them, keep the latest tax bill or notice, lien or court paper, creditor payoff statement, parcel number, and case number nearby. The title company checks property records, while the lender, creditor, or office named on the notice confirms the current amount and instructions.
Call 888-274-5006 or use the form above with whatever you have.
Think the payoff is more than the house is worth? Ask us — we've gotten lenders to come down before.
Use the office connected to the record or notice in front of you. A property-tax bill or tax-sale notice is separate from a lender’s mortgage-foreclosure papers. For a mortgage-foreclosure notice, see the Keene foreclosure page; for a tax bill or sale-status question, contact the office named on that notice.
The Cheshire County Registry of Deeds is the county property-records office. Use its page or the NH Deeds Cheshire County page as a starting point for property-record questions. A recorded record search is not a current payoff quote; ask the lender, creditor, or office named on the notice for its current amount and instructions.

New Hampshire charges both buyer and seller $0.75 per $100, or fraction of $100, of the taxable price. Each party’s tax is rounded to the nearest whole dollar; for a price of $4,000 or less, the minimum is $20 each. The closing professional handles the tax stamps through the county Registry of Deeds and the required filings with the Department of Revenue Administration, including any exemption.
When you sell to us, we can set it up so you don't have to prepay anything — it comes out at closing. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including New Hampshire real estate transfer tax. This does not mean we pay your mortgage balance, liens, back taxes, or share of current property taxes; those amounts are separate from the closing-cost promise.

Here's what sellers have said about working with us.
“Sixty-six years old, widowed, and the house had more property taxes than I wanted to keep paying — $5,800 a year in NH on a fixed income. My son in Boston had been after me to move south. USA Home Buyers gave me a fair number, no open houses, no strangers in my house. Closed in eight days. I was in Massachusetts before spring.”
“My parents owned a house near the Millyard for 40 years. After my mother passed, my brother and I needed to settle the estate quickly — we both have jobs and families, neither of us lives in Manchester. USA Home Buyers had a written offer the next day and we closed in 11 days. The whole process was straightforward.”
“I relocated to Boston for work and had my Manchester house on the market for three months with an agent — two failed offers, one buyer who couldn't get financing. USA Home Buyers gave me a written number the next morning and we closed before my lease on the new apartment ran out.”
