How liens and payoffs work

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 title or money due when a home sells. The creditor or tax office named on the notice confirms the current balance and payment or release instructions. The title company checks ownership and recorded claims and includes confirmed payoff information in the closing figures.

Your mortgage, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate from the closing costs we pay.

Records that can help—and what to do next

A property address and any tax bill or notice, payoff statement, lien or court paper, deed, or sale notice can help us understand the payoff. The creditor or tax office confirms its balance, and the title company checks the recorded claims for closing. Call with what you have; you do not need to gather everything first.

Call 888-274-5006 or use the form above with the address and whatever records you have.

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.
