What is a Property Lien?
To understand what a property lien really is, let’s first define it. Essentially, property liens are legal rights possessed by a holder. If an asset isn’t paid off, the creditor then can exercise their rights and gain control of a property. As one of the most well-known examples of this, the mortgage lender often seizes (repossesses) your property if you fail to make consistent payments toward your mortgage.
This is a common occurrence with car repossessions as well.
The lien itself is filed within the county office, then distributed to the property owner urging that the repossession take place. There are two common forms of property liens: voluntary and involuntary.
- Voluntary Liens– Liens that have been agreed to by both parties, the mortgage lender and the mortgage debtor (you). When signing up for the mortgage, you accepted that the lender holds a lien in case your home is foreclosed on.
- Involuntary Liens– Liens that are enforced by law on a property as a result of failed payments. Typically, these occur when the debtor doesn’t live up to their side of the agreement on payments, taxes, or necessary renovations. Involuntary liens don’t require that the creditor give notice to the debtor.

Frequently asked questions
What is an all-cash offer?
An all-cash deal enables us to buy your home without financing. To close, we typically transfer funds electronically or with a cashier’s check.
How are you able to close so much faster than a traditional home sale?
Because a lender isn’t involved, we’re able to keep closing timelines brief. Once we’re under contract, the sale can close in as fast as a week — just enough time for the title and escrow companies to clear any liens, etc.
How do you determine the price to offer on my house?
We look at the location of the property, the current condition, and values of comparable houses sold in the area recently.
Is there any obligation when I submit my info?
There is absolutely no obligation for you. Once you tell us a bit about your property and situation, we’ll make you an all-cash offer that’s fair for you and fair for us. From there, it’s 100% your decision on whether or not you’d like to sell your house to us.
Will you be listing my house on the MLS or actually buying it?
Great question. We are professional home buyers that can purchase homes in Washington for cash that meet our purchasing criteria. We also own a traditional real estate brokerage with which we can list your property on the MLS. Upon meeting, we can present you with the best options for your individual situation.
Can you also list my home on the Multiple Listing Service or MLS?
Because we also own a traditional real estate brokerage, we can list your property on the MLS. Top local real estate agent, Eli Hale has expertly listed and sold many homes.
