Yes. When Cash4HousesNow closes on your North Charleston property, the mortgage is paid off in full at closing through the title company. The lender records the satisfaction, the foreclosure is dismissed, and the auction is canceled. You walk away with cash and your credit avoids the foreclosure mark, which can drop scores 100-160 points.
We handle multi-lien situations daily. Tax liens, HOA liens, mechanic's liens, and second mortgages are all paid off at closing from the sale proceeds. Our title team in South Carolina performs a full lien search before closing so there are no surprises. If liens exceed the property value, we'll explore short sale options with your lender.
No. We specialize in buying North Charleston homes from owners who are months or even years behind on payments. We've closed on properties one day before sheriff's sale. The further behind you are, the more urgent it is to call us — but we can almost always find a path to closing as long as you contact us before the auction completes.
Generally, sales of a primary residence in South Carolina qualify for the IRS Section 121 exclusion — up to $250,000 single or $500,000 married filing jointly is tax-free if you've lived there 2 of the last 5 years. Foreclosure forgiveness can sometimes trigger 1099-C cancellation-of-debt income; selling to us avoids this in most cases. Consult a South Carolina CPA for your specific situation.

No. Cash4HousesNow buys directly from homeowners — there are no agents, no commissions (typically 5-6% of sale price), no listing fees, no showings, and no inspections required. You skip the entire traditional process. In a foreclosure situation, the typical 60-90 day South Carolina listing period often isn't fast enough anyway. We close in days, not months.
Underwater situations are common in foreclosure. We work with your lender on a short sale — they accept a payoff for less than the loan balance. Most South Carolina lenders prefer this over foreclosure because it costs them less. Cash4HousesNow handles the lender negotiation, paperwork, and closing. You typically walk away with no deficiency liability.
Cash offers in North Charleston typically range from 65-80% of after-repair value, depending on condition, repairs needed, and how fast you need to close. We pay all closing costs, title fees, and transfer taxes, so the offer number is what you net. Compare that to the foreclosure outcome — losing the home plus credit damage plus potential deficiency judgment — and a cash sale is usually the better path.
