Selling a House With a Mortgage

The phrase "sell house, mortgage and all" is basically how every Kansas City sale works.

What's different when you're behind is the pressure: the letters, the late fees compounding, the feeling that the loan is making your decisions for you.

A cash sale flips the order. You choose the date, the title company settles the lender out of the proceeds, and the loan ends the day you close. That's the whole idea behind choosing to sell your Kansas City home for cash: you set the terms instead of the lender.

Mortgage Questions, Straight Answers

Can you sell a house with a mortgage on it?

Yes, and almost everyone does: most Kansas City houses sell with a loan still on them. At closing, the title company pays the lender off from the sale proceeds and the rest comes to you. No lender permission slip required.

What happens to your mortgage when you sell your house?

It ends. The title company requests an exact payoff figure from your lender, sends them that amount at closing, and records the release. You never write the check yourself; it comes out of the sale.

How do I sell a mortgaged house when I'm behind on payments?

The same way, plus the arrears: missed payments and late fees are added to the payoff and cleared from the proceeds at closing. The calls from the lender stop because the loan no longer exists.

What if I owe more than the house is worth?

Then the math is tight, and we'll be honest about it. Sometimes a creative arrangement bridges the gap; sometimes the right answer is to wait or talk to your lender about options. Bring the numbers; the conversation costs nothing.

Do I pay anything out of pocket?

No. We charge no commissions and cover the closing costs, so the only subtraction is the loan itself and whatever the lender is owed.

What if I'd rather catch up and keep the house?

Then start on our foreclosure page, where the stay-options live. Some deals let you stay while you get steady; the earlier you call, the more of them are open.
