Sell your with back taxes owed St. Louis 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 Missouri timeline works

Missouri is a non-judicial state with one of the fastest timelines in the country — a trustee sale requires only about three weeks of published notice. If a sale date is set, there is very little slack.

Missouri closings run through title companies; cash sales commonly close in about two weeks.
