Selling a House With Liens

Liens can complicate a sale, but they don’t make it impossible. Here’s how it works.

What liens do

Liens must be resolved at closing — they’re paid from proceeds before you receive your share. They don’t necessarily block a sale.

Types of liens

Mortgages, tax liens, judgment liens, mechanics liens and HOA liens are all common. Each is handled differently at closing.
