Can I Sell My Mount Pleasant House With Back Taxes or 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. We buy houses with back taxes or liens in the Village of Mount Pleasant. Start with the property address and whatever notice or bill you have; you can call before you have every record.
Call 888-274-5006 to talk through the property.

Prefer to call? 888-274-5006.
How liens are paid at closing
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Your liens are paid off from the sale at closing.
The lender, lienholder, or tax office confirms the current payoff and release instructions. We work with the title company on those figures as it prepares the closing.
Records and your next step
A tax bill, mortgage statement, lien notice, payoff letter, or court paper can help us understand what is going on. You can also call with just the property address. The lender, lienholder, or tax office confirms the current balance; we work with the title company on payoff and release details.
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.
