How we help you work toward closing
We review the Yakima house as-is. You get a written offer and written terms before you commit, and we close through a title company.
If a trustee's sale is scheduled, tell us the date right away so we can try to close before it.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including Washington real estate excise tax. No agent commissions when you sell to us. No fees. Close as fast as 7 days when title and closing details allow.
Your mortgage payoff, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate from our closing-cost payment.
You don't need to pay off your back taxes before we settle. We buy houses with back taxes and liens — payoffs get handled through the closing, not by you upfront.
Mortgage foreclosure or county tax sale?
Mortgage or deed-of-trust foreclosure
For a nonjudicial sale under Washington's deed-of-trust law, the trustee generally must record and send notice at least 90 days before the sale, or 120 days when the specified pre-foreclosure letter is required. A court-ordered foreclosure follows its own case schedule and orders.
Call us and we'll look at the notice with you and talk through the sale date.
Yakima County property-tax foreclosure
Yakima County can foreclose for unpaid property taxes. That process is separate from a lender's mortgage or deed-of-trust foreclosure, and it has its own notices and sale dates.
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.
