How we help you work toward closing
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. We review payoff and title details with the title company.
No agent commissions when you sell to us. No fees.
Which sale is on your notice?
Washington’s deed-of-trust process usually uses a nonjudicial trustee's sale. For a sale under that statute, the trustee generally must record and send the notice at least 90 days before sale, or 120 days when the specified pre-foreclosure letter is required. A court-ordered foreclosure follows its own docket and orders.
A Skagit County property-tax foreclosure is separate from a mortgage foreclosure and follows county notices and dates, not the mortgage trustee-sale notice periods.
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.
We can review the payoff and title details with you as part of the sale discussion.
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.
Your mortgage balance, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate from closing costs.
