When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Your liens are paid off from the sale at closing.
A lien is a legal claim that can affect the property or money due at closing. A payoff is the current amount and instructions a creditor or tax office provides to satisfy an obligation. The creditor or tax office confirms its own current amount; the title company checks ownership and recorded claims for the sale.
Mortgage balances, liens, back taxes, and your share of current property taxes are separate from the closing-cost promise. The confirmed payoff information is shown in the closing figures for the sale.
If they are handy, start with the property address and parcel number, latest tax bill or delinquency notice, lien or court paper, current mortgage or creditor payoff statement, and any tax-sale or Sheriff sale notice or case number. The office or creditor named on a bill or notice confirms its current account and instructions. You can call before you have everything assembled.
An assessment record is about the property's assessed value; it is not a current tax balance or payoff. For a recorded deed, mortgage, or other land-record question, the Essex County Register is a local records contact. The title company checks which records and claims apply to the sale.
Think the payoff is more than the house is worth? Ask us — we've gotten lenders to come down before.
Tell us the Newark address, what you know about the house and amount owed, and any notice or timing concern. Start with what you have; you do not have to work out the payoff before calling.
We review the house as it stands and put the proposed offer, payoff treatment, responsibilities, and closing terms in writing before you decide.
If you choose to proceed, the title company checks ownership and recorded claims. The creditor or tax office confirms its current payoff and payment or release instructions for the account.
The title company prepares closing figures from the written terms, confirmed payoffs, and applicable costs. Review those figures before the title-company closing.

A property-tax notice and a lender's mortgage-foreclosure case are separate matters. Use the current tax bill or sale notice and contact the office named on it for that account's amount and status. Do not use a mortgage-foreclosure listing to infer a tax-sale date or status.
The New Jersey Division of Taxation directory lists the Newark City Assessor at 973-733-3950 for assessment inquiries. This is not a tax-payment route or confirmation of a property's tax balance; use the office named on the current bill or notice for those questions.
The Register lists a contact at the Hall of Records, Room 130, 465 Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd., Newark, NJ 07102, and 973-621-4960. Use it for recording and records inquiries. The contact does not verify a particular deed, lien, payoff, or parcel record.
The Sheriff publishes foreclosure listings, but sale information is date-sensitive and a scheduled sale can change. Check the current case information rather than treating a listing as the final status or deadline for a particular property.
New Jersey mortgage foreclosures go through the courts and may lead to a public Sheriff sale. Use the current court papers and case information for that process. A property-tax notice follows a separate track.
A delinquent property-tax notice or sale and a lender's mortgage foreclosure are not the same process. Follow the tax notice and ask the issuing office about its current account and sale status. For mortgage foreclosure, New Jersey Courts and the Essex County Sheriff provide the court-process and sale information; confirm the live case status because a scheduled Sheriff sale can change.
New Jersey charges a realty transfer fee when a deed is recorded. The fee is calculated in $500 steps using price bands, and the rate rises with the sale price. For sales over $350,000, a higher rate schedule applies to the whole price. A separate graduated percent fee may apply to a home sale over $1 million unless the transfer is exempt. Some sellers and qualifying homes may be eligible for a reduced rate or an exemption; check the details for the specific transfer.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including New Jersey's realty transfer fee and any applicable graduated percent fee.
Mortgage balances, liens, back taxes, and your share of current property taxes are separate from the closing-cost promise.
Use the Newark home-sale net proceeds calculator with your own estimates for value, mortgage payoff, liens or back taxes, repairs, and other costs. Just an estimate — the actual number could be more or less depending on the home's condition.
