House With Liens or Back Taxes Owed?
Liens complicate a sale but they rarely prevent one. In most cases they are simply paid out of the proceeds at closing.
Property tax arrears, contractor's liens, judgement liens, HOA liens and IRS liens all attach to the property and have to be cleared for title to transfer. That sounds alarming, and it is why many homeowners in this position assume they cannot sell. Usually they can.
The title company identifies everything recorded against the property, and those balances are settled from the sale proceeds at closing. What is left over goes to you. We account for known liens when we make the offer so the net figure you see is realistic.
If the total owed is close to or above the property's value, the picture changes and we will tell you plainly. Sometimes a lien can be negotiated down; sometimes the honest answer is that there is little or nothing left for the seller.
