Sell a House with Liens

We Buy Houses with Liens, Back Taxes, and Title Issues

Liens and back taxes don't have to stop you from selling. Samaritan Home Buyers buys properties with all kinds of title issues across Florida and Alabama —and in many cases the title company can identify and pay outstanding liens through closing when there is enough equity — so you don't have to sort it out alone.

Types of Liens We Commonly See

Most can be resolved through closing using sale proceeds. You don’t need to pay them off yourself before we buy.

How We Handle Liens at Closing

When you sell to us, a title company performs a full title search and identifies any outstanding liens. When there is enough equity, those liens can typically be paid through closing from the sale proceeds, and any money left over above the liens and your mortgage goes to you. If the liens are more than the house is worth, we will be honest with you about what is and is not possible.

Liens Often Come With Other Situations

Liens and back taxes frequently show up alongside foreclosure or probate. We're comfortable with all of these, and in many cases they can be addressed together through closing.

Common Questions About Selling with Liens

Can I sell a house if I owe back property taxes?

Yes. Property tax liens are one of the most common issues we see. They’re paid off at closing from the proceeds.

If total liens plus your mortgage exceed the home’s value, you may not have enough equity to cover everything. We’ll be honest about what’s possible — a short sale or other options may apply.

No. We can make an offer knowing liens exist. The title search confirms exactly what’s owed.

That’s fine. The title company’s search finds everything.

Yes. We serve Mobile and Baldwin counties and handle both states’ lien situations.
