Common situations in King County

Probate and inherited houses

More on probate and inherited houses →Behind on the mortgage
In Renton, foreclosure usually means a non-judicial trustee's sale, with a recorded notice of sale before the auction; selling before the sale date pays the lender and stops it. You own the house until the sale, so you can usually still sell.
More on behind on the mortgage →Behind on property taxes
King County bills and collects Renton property taxes and can foreclose on property that has gone unpaid for years; a sale clears those back taxes at closing.
More on behind on property taxes →Code violations and city orders

Selling for cash in Renton: questions
My Renton Highlands house has never been updated. Is it worth selling as-is?
Often, yes. Cash buyers in Renton look at the condition and price in the roof, plumbing and wiring work, so you avoid paying for a remodel before you sell.
How fast can I sell my house for cash in Renton?
Washington sales usually close through an escrow company, with a title company insuring the title; escrow pays off the loan, taxes and liens before you're paid. Once you accept an offer, most King County cash sales close in one to three weeks — sooner if there's no estate or lien paperwork to clear, or later on a date you choose.
