A lien is a legal claim that may affect the property or money due at closing. A payoff is the current amount and payment instructions from the creditor or tax office. An older bill or letter may not show the current figure, so the creditor or office named on the notice should confirm the balance and release instructions.
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 treated.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Your liens are paid off from the sale at closing.
Start with the property address. If they are handy, gather the parcel number, latest tax bill or notice, mortgage payoff statement, lien or court notice, creditor name, deed, and any sale notice. The office or creditor named on a bill or notice can confirm its current balance and instructions; the title company checks transaction records. For recorded documents or deed-recording questions, use the Black Hawk County Recorder's official page. You do not need a complete file before you call or use the form above.
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 property and the information you have. You do not have to sort out the records before contacting us.
Tell us the Waterloo address, what is going on, and any timing that 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. The offer and written terms come before you commit; review the price, responsibilities, payoff treatment, and closing terms before deciding whether they fit your situation.
If you choose to proceed, a title company checks ownership and recorded claims and coordinates current payoff information with the creditor or office involved.
The title company prepares the closing figures, including the sale price, agreed payoffs, applicable costs, and the amount remaining after those items. You review the written terms and figures before closing through the title company.
A property-tax sale matter and a lender mortgage-foreclosure matter are separate. Use the current tax notice and the office named on it for tax status; use the court or official named in mortgage-foreclosure papers for that case. One notice does not establish the status of the other matter.
The Black Hawk County Recorder is the county contact for deed-recording questions and recorded documents. The Recorder's official page is the place to find the county's current records and contact information. A recorded document is not the creditor's current payoff statement; ask the creditor or tax office named on the current notice for its balance and instructions.
Iowa's real estate transfer tax is 80 cents for each $500, or fraction of $500, of the sale price above the first $500. On a $100,000 sale, the taxable $99,500 is 199 units of $500, so the tax is $159.20. The tax is paid to the county recorder, who will not record the deed until it is paid; a declaration of value is filed when required. State law makes the person conveying the property, normally the seller, liable for the tax. Exemptions include certain family, divorce, estate-distribution, and $500-or-less transfers, so the closing professional confirms whether the tax applies and the taxable amount.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including Iowa real estate transfer tax.
This transfer-tax promise is separate from your mortgage payoff, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes.
