When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Your liens are paid off from the sale at closing.
A lien is a claim tied to a property or an amount due that can affect its title or the money due at closing. The creditor or tax office supplies the current payoff amount and payment instructions. The title company checks the recorded claims for the sale and works with the relevant office or creditor on the payoff details.
A mortgage balance, lien, back-tax balance, and your share of current property taxes are separate from the closing costs we pay. The amounts that apply to your property are confirmed for the closing; you do not have to pay them off before calling us.
