FAQ
Q: How much time do I have once I get a tax deed sale notice?
A: Typically, 3-4 months from the tax deed application to the actual auction But, every county is different. Some move faster. Call us the same day you get the notice.
Q: Can I just pay the taxes and keep my home?
A: Yes—if you can afford to. You can redeem the tax certificate by paying all delinquent taxes, interest (up to 18%), and fees. Most people facing tax deed sales can't afford this lump sum, which is why they call us.
Q: Will I get money from the auction if my home sells for more than the taxes owed?
A: Possibly. Any surplus after taxes, liens, and costs are paid goes into a surplus fund. You can apply for it as the former owner. But this process is slow, complicated, and many former owners never successfully claim their money. Selling to us guarantees you get your equity now.
Q: Do I need to make repairs before selling to you?
A: Absolutely not. We buy homes as-is. Holes in the roof? Mold? Code violations? We don't care. We've seen it all.
Q: What if I have a mortgage on the property?
A: We work with your lender to pay off the mortgage from the sale proceeds. If you have equity after paying the mortgage and taxes, that money goes to you.
Q: Can I really sell after the tax deed application is filed?
A: Yes. Until the auction happens and the tax deed is issued, you still own the property and can sell it. The sooner you act, the more options you have.
Q: What if I inherited the property and didn't know taxes were unpaid?
A: This is incredibly common. Inherited properties often have years of unpaid taxes. You still have the same rights as any owner. Call us—we'll explain your options.
Q: Is this a scam?
A: We understand your skepticism. We're licensed real estate professionals. We use licensed title companies for every closing. You get a written purchase agreement. Nothing happens until you sign and agree. We encourage you to have an attorney review any documents.
Q: What if I'm already in the redemption period after the certificate sale but before the deed application?
A: If you're within the 2-year redemption window after the tax certificate sale, you can still sell your home. In fact, selling now—before the tax deed application is filed—gives you even more leverage and time.
