Sell your with back taxes owed Seattle 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.

How the Washington timeline works

Washington is a non-judicial trustee-sale state — after a notice of trustee sale, the auction can be held in roughly 120 days, with mandated mediation options for homeowners along the way.

Washington sales close through escrow companies; cash escrows commonly run about two weeks.
