How payoffs work
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Your liens are paid off from the sale at closing.
A payoff is the current amount and instructions from a creditor or tax office to satisfy a balance. The closing costs we pay are separate from your mortgage balance, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes.
The creditor or tax office confirms its current balance and payoff instructions. The title company checks ownership and recorded claims and works with that office on payoff information for closing.
Records that help
A recent tax bill, lien notice, or payoff statement can help us get started. The property address is enough to call; you do not need to gather every paper first.
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.

Granville County deed and recorded-document questions ↗
The Granville County Register of Deeds keeps recorded deeds, mortgages, and other land records. When you sell, the title company checks ownership and recorded claims.
A county tax matter is not a mortgage foreclosure
A property-tax matter and a lender's mortgage foreclosure are separate. Granville County can confirm property-tax balances and tax-sale status. The North Carolina Judicial Branch explains the mortgage-foreclosure process, and its Granville County Clerk of Superior Court page lists local court contact information.

North Carolina excise tax on conveyances
North Carolina charges $1 for each $500 of the price or value when a deed transfers real estate; any part of $500 counts as a full $500. State law assigns the tax to the seller before the deed is recorded. Some transfers are exempt under state law. A separate 1% county land-transfer tax applies in seven northeastern counties; Granville County is not one of them.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including North Carolina's excise tax on conveyances. Your mortgage, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate.
Compare possible net proceeds
Use your own estimates for the home's value, mortgage payoff, lien or tax balance, repairs, and closing costs to compare what you may keep from different sale paths. The figures are estimates, not a payoff quote or final closing statement.

“Facing foreclosure ... Very stressful time... They handled it professionally and got me out of the debt...”
