Home / Situations / Behind on payments
Behind on payments? Selling is one of your options.
If the payments have fallen behind, selling the house as-is can pay off what's owed at closing — on a timeline that works before deadlines arrive.
- What's owed is paid off at closing
- No repairs, no showings
- No obligation — just the facts

What we take care of
Talk to your lender too
Before anything else, call your lender or a HUD-approved housing counselor. Many homeowners have options — a payment plan, a modification or forbearance — and those are worth knowing about first.
If selling turns out to be the right choice, the earlier you start, the more choices you keep.
How a sale works when you're behind
The title company gets a payoff figure from your lender, including what's past due. At closing, the lender is paid from the sale, and anything left over is yours.
Property taxes that are behind are handled the same way — paid off at closing.
No pressure
We'll give you our number in writing. If it doesn't help your situation, you say no and that's the end of it.
