Paid off at closing

I had a great experience working with Sterling Home Offer. Their communication was excellent throughout the entire process, and they made everything simple and stress-free. The team was professional, responsive, and very easy to work with. I truly appreciated how smoothly everything went and would definitely recommend them to others!

If youve never been thru probate consider yourself lucky. Its a mess. Sterling actually knew what they were doing which is more than I can say for the first 2 companies I called. They worked with my attorney and didnt make it harder than it already was. ✨

Got a job transfer with three weeks notice. Listing the house and waiting 90 days wasn't an option. Sterling gave me a cash offer on day one and let me pick the closing date. I moved on my schedule, not a realtors. Highly recommended!

Questions

Your questions, answered.

Can I sell a house with a tax lien?

Yes. Liens are paid from the sale at closing, and the new owner gets a clear title.

What if the liens add up to more than the house is worth?

Then a sale may not cover them. We'll check the title and tell you honestly before you sign anything.

Do I pay anything before closing?

No. We never ask you for money.
