Sell your with back taxes owed Albany house for cash — we buy direct
Owing back property taxes doesn't stop you from selling — but it does compress the timeline before the county can move to tax sale. A cash sale pays off the taxes directly from the proceeds at closing, often before any auction would happen. We buy tax-delinquent property routinely and can close on these.
Lockwood Home Buyers makes cash offers directly to homeowners — no fees, no commissions, and no obligation to accept. We are not a real-estate agent or broker; we buy houses for cash.
How the New York timeline works
New York is a judicial state with one of the longest foreclosure timelines in the country — cases routinely take one to three years. That is a lot of runway to sell, but interest, fees, and legal costs compound the entire time.
New York closings customarily involve attorneys for both sides. Cash sales still close far faster than financed ones — typically a few weeks once contracts are signed.
