Call 888-274-5006How lien payoffs work
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Your liens are paid off from the sale at closing.
No agent commissions when you sell to us. No fees. Your mortgage payoff, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate amounts in the closing figures.
You can call before you have every record
A mortgage statement, lien letter, or tax notice can help, but the property address is enough to start. We review title, payoff, occupancy, and seller authority with you. The title company confirms current amounts and release instructions with the creditor or tax office.
If the payoff is the problem
Think the payoff is more than the house is worth? Ask us — we've gotten lenders to come down before.
What happens next
1. Talk through the house and the lien
Tell us the property address and what you know. You can call before you have the payoff statement or every county record.
2. Review the offer and terms
You get a written offer and clear written terms before you commit, and we close through a title company.
3. Confirm title and payoff details
If you proceed, the title company checks recorded claims, confirms current payoff figures, and coordinates required releases with the lienholder or tax office.
4. Review the closing figures and close
The closing statement shows the sale price, closing costs, payoff amounts, your share of current property taxes, and any proceeds left after payoffs. Close as fast as 7 days when title and closing details allow.
Montgomery County liens and Pennsylvania tax facts
For a recorded lien, the Montgomery County Recorder of Deeds provides public access to property records. The county's tax-sale notice gives the sale date.
When property taxes go unpaid, the county can put the house up for a tax sale. If the sale closes before the date in the notice, delinquent taxes may be paid from the proceeds if enough money remains after other liens and closing costs. A sale agreement alone does not resolve the tax claim. Call us as soon as a notice arrives; timing matters. (Real Estate Tax Sale Law, §§601–603.)
Pennsylvania charges a 1% state realty transfer tax when a house changes hands, and most towns add a local tax on top. When you sell to us, we pay the transfer tax.

Share the address and what you know about the lien or tax notice. You can start before every detail is in hand.
Property Lien Questions in King of Prussia, PA
Can a probate property still have a lien?
Yes. A house in an estate may still have recorded liens or unpaid taxes. Title reviews those claims separately from who has authority to sign; Montgomery County Register of Wills provides probate information.
Are a county tax sale and mortgage foreclosure the same?
No. A tax sale concerns unpaid property taxes; a mortgage foreclosure concerns the home loan. They have separate notices and dates, so follow the notice for the process involved.
What if the lien payoff is more than the house is worth?
Think the payoff is more than the house is worth? Ask us — we've gotten lenders to come down before.
Can I call before I have every record?
Yes. The property address is enough to start; a notice or payoff statement can help, but you can call before you have every document.
