How we work toward a closing
Tell us what is happening with the house and the sale date. We review the property. You get a written offer and written terms before you commit, and we close through a title company. If a trustee's sale is scheduled, tell us the date right away so we can try to close before it. If you choose to move forward, we work with the title company on title and payoff details.
Your mortgage, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate from closing costs. No agent commissions when you sell to us. No fees. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including the West Virginia real estate transfer excise tax and the additional county excise tax. Close as fast as 7 days when title and closing details allow.
How a West Virginia trustee's sale works
A deed-of-trust foreclosure can proceed through a trustee's public auction without a court case. The trustee generally must publish notice in the county once a week for two weeks in a row and mail notice to the borrower by certified mail. The auction date is the deadline to complete a sale and pay off the loan. We work with a title company to confirm the current sale date and payoff.
Read the West Virginia rules for sales under trust deeds and notice of sale.
A mortgage foreclosure and a property-tax sale are different
A trustee's sale follows a default on a deed-of-trust loan. A property-tax sale concerns unpaid property taxes, with separate notices and deadlines. The trustee's auction date applies to the mortgage sale, not a tax sale.
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.
The title company checks the lender's payoff and other recorded amounts against the sale terms. Those figures determine whether the sale can close and what proceeds, if any, remain for you.
