Yes. Tax liens do not prevent you from selling your home. The liens are paid off from the sale proceeds at closing through the title company. We regularly purchase properties with outstanding tax liens. Across California, we work with homeowners in major metros and smaller communities alike.
In most cases, yes. If your property is worth more than the total amount of liens, you will receive the difference. We provide transparent offers so you can see exactly what you will walk away with after all liens are satisfied.
If the liens exceed the property value, we may still be able to help by negotiating with the taxing authority to reduce the total amount owed. Each situation is different, so contact us for a free evaluation.
Closing on a property with tax liens typically takes 14-21 days, slightly longer than our standard 7-day timeline. The additional time is needed for the title company to verify and resolve all outstanding liens.
