A lien is a legal claim that can affect a property or the money due at closing. A payoff is the current amount and instructions from the creditor or tax office to satisfy an obligation. An older bill or record may not show today's figure, so the current amount and release instructions need to be confirmed.
The title company checks ownership and recorded claims for the transaction and works with the creditor or tax office on payoff information. The closing figures show how the agreed payoffs and other charges are handled.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Your liens are paid off from the sale at closing.
Closing costs are separate from mortgage balances, liens, back taxes, and your share of current property taxes. Those amounts are confirmed for the property and shown in the settlement figures.
If they are handy, gather the property address, parcel number, latest tax bill or notice, mortgage payoff statement, lien or court notice, creditor name, deed, and any sale notice. Start with what you have; you do not need a complete file before calling 888-274-5006 or using the form above. The creditor or county office named on the notice confirms its current balance and instructions; the title company checks the transaction records.
Think the payoff is more than the house is worth? Ask us — we've gotten lenders to come down before.
Start with a conversation about the house and what you know. You do not have to sort out the records before contacting us.
Tell us the Topeka address, what is going on, and what timing concerns you. We review the house as it stands; you do not need to repair, clean, or clean it out to sell to us.
We give written cash offers in 24 hours. Written offer and written terms before you commit; title-company closing. Read the price, responsibilities, payoff treatment, and closing terms before you decide.
The title company checks ownership and recorded claims and coordinates payoff information with the relevant creditor or county office. Use the current bill, notice, or case record to confirm the status of a specific tax or mortgage matter.
The title company prepares the closing figures, including the sale price, payoffs, applicable charges, and amount remaining after those items. Review the written terms and figures before closing.
Topeka is in Shawnee County. Start with the office or creditor named on the current notice for the question it covers; the county records offices below handle recorded real-estate documents and district-court matters.
This is the county's official real-estate records office. Use it for recorded deed, mortgage, and other land-record questions. A recorded document is not the creditor's current payoff amount; ask the creditor or tax office for its current balance and instructions.
This office handles local district-court records. Use the case number and current court papers for a district-court matter; a court record and a property-tax account are different records.
A mortgage foreclosure is a lender's court case about a home loan. A tax-sale notice concerns unpaid property taxes. They are separate processes with separate records and notices. Follow the current notice for its date and instructions, and contact the county office named on it about the tax account or sale status. For a district-court filing, use the Shawnee County Clerk of the District Court above.
Kansas does not charge a real-estate transfer tax or deed tax. The mortgage registration tax ended January 1, 2019. County recording fees are set by state law: $21 for the first page of a deed or mortgage and $17 for each additional page. The title company or closing professional confirms the exact recording charges. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. That does not pay your mortgage, liens, back taxes, or share of current property taxes.
