How lien and tax payoffs work

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 its current balance and payment instructions. A title company checks recorded claims for the sale and coordinates payoff information for closing. Mortgage balances, liens, back taxes, and your share of current property taxes are separate from the closing costs we pay.

Start with the records you have

The property address is enough to start the conversation. A recent tax bill or notice, lien or court paper, mortgage statement, written payoff, creditor name, parcel number, or account or case number can help. You can call before you have everything.

The tax office or creditor provides its current figure and instructions. The title company checks the recorded claims involved in the sale and works with the relevant office or lienholder on payoff information.

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.

What happens next

  1. 1. Talk through the house and notice

    Tell us the Picayune address and what you know about the lien or tax account. Start with what you have; you do not need to resolve the payoff before calling.

  2. 2. Review written terms

    We discuss the house as it stands and put the proposed offer and terms in writing before you decide whether to proceed.

  3. 3. Confirm title and payoff details

    If you choose to sell, a title company checks title and coordinates current payoff information with the creditor or tax office. The closing figures show the confirmed amounts and other settlement items.

  4. 4. Review the figures and close

    Review the sale price, confirmed payoffs, taxes, and other listed items with the title company. A title company handles the closing and disburses the sale proceeds according to the confirmed instructions.
