As a real estate agent, you know that each transaction comes with its own set of challenges. But when it comes to properties encumbered by an IRS lien, things can get complicated fast. Selling or refinancing a property with an IRS lien can feel like trying to push a boulder uphill. However, there’s a tool in your legal toolbox that can often pave the way: IRS lien subordination.
What Is IRS Lien Subordination?
In simple terms, IRS lien subordination allows the IRS to move its lien below other existing liens (like a mortgage), giving priority to those debts when a property is sold or refinanced. Without subordination, the IRS has a claim to the property that can prevent your clients from proceeding with their sale or refinancing. But through this process, we can negotiate with the IRS to allow your clients to move forward without the full tax debt needing to be paid off upfront.
Why This Matters for You and Your Clients
For you, the real estate agent, IRS liens are a problem that can delay or derail transactions. For your clients, these liens can feel like a massive roadblock.
