The math has to work — sale proceeds need to cover the back taxes plus our offer price. If you have $50,000 in back taxes on a $200,000 Greenwich home, we have plenty of room. If back taxes are $180,000 on a $200,000 home, the offer becomes minimal. We'll run the numbers transparently and tell you what you'd net before any commitment.

The title company disburses to the lender (mortgage payoff) and the Connecticut tax collector (delinquent taxes), then any remaining equity goes to you.

The voluntary sale is almost always the better credit outcome.
