Sell To Trey

Behind On Property Taxes? Sell Before The Tax Sale.

A tax lien on your home means the county can eventually take it and sell it at auction — and you get nothing. We buy houses with back taxes, active tax liens, and even properties already scheduled for tax sale. We pay the taxes at closing and you walk away clean.

Property tax problems we solve every week

If any of this sounds familiar, you’re in the right place. We work with Carolinas homeowners in these exact situations every single week.

2+ years of unpaid property taxes accumulating penalties and interest

County has filed a tax lien certificate against your property

Received a Notice of Tax Sale or Tax Foreclosure lawsuit

Taxes are more than you can reasonably catch up on

Heir inherited a property with years of unpaid taxes already owed

Investor rental where tenant stopped paying and taxes fell behind

Why selling is usually the smart play

We pay the taxes at closing

Your back taxes, interest, and penalties come straight off the top of closing. You don't have to come up with cash.

Beat the tax-sale clock

Tax foreclosures can move fast. We close in 7–14 days — often fast enough to stop a pending tax sale.

Keep any remaining equity

If your property is worth more than the tax debt, you pocket the difference. Tax sales often wipe out ALL your equity — a private sale preserves it.

We coordinate with the tax office

We've worked with NC and SC tax collectors before. We know how to get accurate payoff letters and close before a deadline.

Questions Homeowners Ask Us

How much time do I have before the county takes the house?

Varies by state. North Carolina counties can start tax foreclosure after 2+ years of unpaid taxes. South Carolina has a tax sale followed by a 12-month redemption period. Either way, acting earlier means more options and more money in your pocket.

Can I sell if there's an active tax lien?

Absolutely. The tax lien just means the county gets paid from the sale proceeds at closing. We handle this every week — title companies are set up to pay off tax liens directly at closing.

What if the taxes are more than the house is worth?

Unusual, but possible for severely distressed properties. Tell us the numbers and we'll let you know what's realistic. Sometimes we can still write an offer; other times we'll walk you through alternatives.

What about delinquent HOA dues or special assessments?

Same treatment — they get paid at closing from the sale proceeds, right alongside the property taxes. You don't pay anything out of pocket.

Ready to talk through your relocation options?

Call Trey directly. You’ll talk with the person who writes the check — not a call center. No pressure. No sales tactics. Just straight answers about what we can do for you.
