Questions About Selling a House in McPherson, KS

The sale price is not the same as the amount you keep. A mortgage payoff, liens, back taxes, and your share of current property taxes are separate from our closing-cost promise; other property and settlement details can also affect the final amount. Compare possible net proceeds with editable assumptions, then review the written terms and title-company figures for your house.

Kansas does not charge a real estate transfer tax or deed tax. Its mortgage registration tax ended on January 1, 2019. County recording fees are set by state law: $21 for the first page of a deed or mortgage and $17 for each additional page, including the state technology and heritage trust fund add-ons. The rates are the same in every county, but the total depends on the number of pages recorded. The title company or closing professional confirms the exact recording charges. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. That does not pay your mortgage, liens, back taxes, or your share of current property taxes.

A sale may still be possible if the payoff or redemption amount can be paid in time. Kansas mortgage foreclosures go through district court. After the lender wins a judgment, the house is sold at a sheriff's sale, usually at the county courthouse, after notice is published once a week for three weeks. The court then confirms the sale. Afterward, the owner can generally redeem within 12 months, or three months if default occurred before one-third of the original senior debt was paid. Even then, the court gives 12 months if all outstanding mortgages and liens total less than one-third of the property's market value. The court may add three months if the owner involuntarily loses their main income after the sale and before the three-month period ends. Abandonment can shorten or end redemption. The owner can generally stay in the home meanwhile. Have the title company or an attorney confirm the current deadline and amount needed. Our agreement of sale will often get a sheriff's sale postponed so we can close. Signing alone doesn't postpone it automatically; we use the agreement to ask for the postponement, and it works more often than people think.
