Behind on payments or taxes
Facing foreclosure or a tax lien in Westport?
A Westport bill of about $10,150 a year grows when it is late. Connecticut adds 1.5% interest a month on overdue property tax, which is 18% a year, and the town can lien the house.
If the mortgage is behind, the lender's case goes to the Superior Court. Most Connecticut cases are strict foreclosure: the court names a Law Day, and title can move to the lender after it. At Westport prices, the equity at stake is large, so selling before that day matters. We pay the loan and back taxes at closing and you keep the rest.

Read the guide →Is a cash sale right for you, or should you list?
Seven quick questions. There is no wrong answer, and we will tell you honestly if listing would leave you more.
- Does the house need repairs you would rather not pay for or manage?
- Do you need to close by a certain date, or within the next month or two?
- Would showings be hard: tenants, belongings, privacy, or you live out of state?
- Is there a complication: an estate or probate, a divorce, foreclosure, liens or back taxes?
- Could you comfortably cover the mortgage, taxes and utilities for three or more months?
- Is getting the highest possible price more important to you than speed and certainty?
- Would a buyer's bank lend on the house as it is (no major roof, foundation, oil tank or code issues)?
