Liens on a Isla Vista property complicate traditional sales because title must be clear for a lender to finance the purchase. Most buyers cannot or will not deal with lien resolution. EasyOffer buys with cash and works directly with lien holders and the title company to satisfy all encumbrances at closing, often negotiating reductions on penalties and interest.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I sell a house with a lien on it in CA?
Yes. Liens are paid off from the sale proceeds at closing. The title company ensures every lien holder is satisfied and the title transfers clean to the new owner.
What types of liens does EasyOffer handle?
All types: property tax liens, IRS liens, state tax liens, mechanic's liens, judgment liens, HOA liens, child support liens, and municipal code violation liens.
Do I need to pay off the liens before selling?
No. The liens are satisfied from your sale proceeds at closing. You do not need to come up with cash to resolve liens before the sale.
What if the liens exceed the value of my Isla Vista house?
In some cases, lien holders will accept less than the full amount (especially on penalties and interest) to facilitate a sale. We negotiate with lien holders to maximize the amount you walk away with.
How do I find out what liens are on my property?
We conduct a full title search as part of our evaluation process. This reveals all recorded liens against your property. You will know exactly what is owed before you decide to sell.
Can I sell if I have an IRS tax lien on the property?
Yes. The IRS lien is paid from sale proceeds at closing. In some cases, the IRS may agree to release the lien for less than the full amount if the property equity is limited. We can coordinate with the IRS on your behalf.
What Our Sellers Say
“My mom passed and I inherited her place in Antioch. It needed a ton of work and I live out of state so I couldn't deal with contractors or showings. They came out, looked at it, and had a number for me the next day. We closed in 9 days. The whole thing was so much easier than I expected.”
Inherited Property
“Honestly I was skeptical at first because I'd heard horror stories about cash buyers lowballing people. But they explained exactly how they came up with the number and it was fair. We were behind on payments and they got everything done in a week. No last-minute changes, no surprises at closing.”
Avoided Foreclosure
“My husband got transferred to Dallas and we had about three weeks to figure out the house. A friend told us about EasyOffer. They gave us a cash offer that same afternoon and worked around our move date. We closed 11 days later without having to do a single showing or open house.”
