Sell a house with a tax lien for cash.
A tax lien on your property does not have to stop you from selling. In most cases the lien is paid off at closing out of the sale proceeds, and we can buy the house for cash to make that happen quickly.

An unpaid property tax bill can become a municipal tax lien on your home, and in Massachusetts an unresolved lien can eventually lead to a tax taking by the city or town. That pressure is real, but a lien rarely blocks a sale by itself.
In most sales, the lien is paid directly from the proceeds at closing, the same way a mortgage payoff works. We buy for cash and work with a closing attorney to clear the lien as part of the transaction, so you can sell, settle the debt, and keep whatever equity remains.
How selling a house works
Tell us about the property
Share the address and where things stand with the estate. It takes about 2 minutes and there is zero obligation.
Get a fair cash offer
We review the home and the local market, then present a fair cash offer with a clear explanation of how we got there.
Close on your schedule
We coordinate with your attorney, handle the paperwork and closing costs, and you choose the closing date.
We coordinate the payoff at closing
You do not need to clean the house, fix anything, or make trips back and forth across the state. Take any keepsakes and personal items you want, and leave everything else exactly where it is. We deal with the cleanout, the condition, and the logistics.
If the estate is still in probate, that is normal and not a roadblock. We regularly coordinate with the personal representative and the estate's attorney so the sale lines up with the court's timeline. We are buyers and not attorneys, so your estate counsel always confirms what is permitted in your specific case, and we work around it.
