Cash Home Buyers in Maine: How a Cash Sale Closes
Maine closings are normally run by a closing attorney or a title company, and the deed records at the county Registry of Deeds:
- Days 1-2. Send the address; we price it off recent nearby sales and send a written offer.
- Days 3-10. Title work comes back, and liens, unpaid property taxes and any estate paperwork get cleared.
- Days 7-14. You sign, the deed records, the money is wired.
Maine charges a real estate transfer tax of $2.20 per $500 of price, and since November 1, 2025 the part of a price above $1 million is taxed at $6.00 per $500. Maine law splits that tax equally between buyer and seller, and the Registry of Deeds collects it when the deed records.
Which other closing costs each side covers in your sale is set out in the written offer. We buy directly or bring a vetted cash buyer, and the agreement names the buyer.
Foreclosure and Probate Rules in Maine
Foreclosure. Maine is a judicial foreclosure state, so a lender has to file in court rather than sell at a trustee auction.
On a primary residence it must first mail a notice giving you at least 35 days to cure the default, and after a foreclosure judgment a 90-day redemption period runs before any sale. Maine also offers a foreclosure diversion mediation program for owner-occupied buildings of up to four units. That normally leaves months rather than weeks to sell.
Probate. Maine has a Probate Court in each of its 16 counties, and the personal representative appointed there signs the deed. We buy from personal representatives and successor trustees who already hold authority to sell; if a judge has to approve the price, we are not the right buyer.
Who buys inherited properties for cash in Maine?
We do, once someone has authority to sign. We buy with the furniture and belongings still inside, with a failing roof or old wiring, and with heirs living out of state. Our sell inherited property guide walks through the usual steps.
