How lien and tax payoffs work

Mortgage balances, liens, back taxes, and your share of current property taxes are separate from closing costs.

When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Your liens are paid off from the sale at closing.

The creditor or tax office confirms the current amount and payoff instructions. The title company works with them to coordinate the payoff and release information for the sale.

Start with the records you have

The property address is enough to start the conversation. If you have a tax bill or notice, lien or court paper, payoff statement, parcel number, or creditor contact, share it with us. You can call before you have everything.

The creditor or tax office named on a bill or notice can confirm the current balance and status. The title company works with them on payoff information for the sale. If a notice gives a date, tell us about it when you call.

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.
