What's the property address?

Your information stays with us. We never sell or share it.

Back-tax situations move fast. We move faster.

Boone County's tax sale schedule doesn't care about your situation. Once a property's in the third year of delinquency, it heads to auction — and the prices there can be brutal. If there's any equity left in the house, you're way better off selling it before the county does.

We've bought several houses out from under pending tax sales. The county clerk gives us the exact payoff number, the title company wires it at closing, the lien clears, and you walk away with whatever's left after the taxes get paid. Clean.

What you get when you sell to me

  • Back taxes paid directly at closing
  • Beat the tax-sale auction date
  • Cash close in 7–14 days
  • Federal/state liens? We can usually still help
  • No agent fees skimming what's left

Questions sellers ask

How much do I owe vs. what's the house worth?

That's the key question. Get the current payoff from the county collector and we'll talk. If there's equity over the lien, we can almost always make it work.

What if there are also IRS or state liens?

We've worked through those before. They take longer because the IRS has its own payoff process, but they're not deal-killers. Tell us up front so we can plan the timeline.

Can you close before the tax-sale date?

Usually yes if you call us with at least 2–3 weeks of runway. Less than that and it gets tight — call anyway and we'll see.

What if I owe more in taxes than the house is worth?

Then a sale doesn't make sense without negotiation with the county. Sometimes possible, often not. Be honest with us about the numbers and we'll be honest back.

Will the title company handle the lien payoff?

Yes. The title company wires the back taxes directly to the county at closing as part of the disbursement. You don't write any checks.

  • “My Mom passed away a couple of years ago, leaving me her house in Columbia. We live in another state and with jobs/kids, we hadn't had much time to travel to Columbia and work on getting it sold. Not only was it stressful to be juggling that — Brayden took the whole thing off our plate.”

  • “Brayden was great when it came to selling my parents house. It was such an emotional time but he made sure we got what we could from the purchase. Thank you.”
