Sell House With Medicaid Lien in Commerce — Your Options Explained
Medical debt, bankruptcy, judgment liens — these create real problems in a traditional Commerce home sale. We understand how they get resolved at closing and price our offers accordingly.
The Process: From Property Info to Cash in Hand
Request a Free Cash Offer
Reach out by phone or form. We ask about the property's condition, your timeline, and what you're trying to accomplish. That's it.
Review the Offer — No Obligation
We pull recent sales in Commerce, factor in your home's condition, and come back with a written offer. No obligation to accept.
Pick Your Closing Date and Get Paid
Choose any closing date that works for you. We've closed as fast as five days and as slowly as eight weeks depending on what the seller needed.
The title company is the neutral third party in every Texas cash sale, including ours. They run the title search, prepare the settlement statement, hold the funds in escrow, and disburse everything at closing. It's the same process as any real estate transaction — just faster and without the financing contingency.
The option period in a standard Texas real estate contract gives buyers several days to walk away for any reason after signing. That risk stays with the seller until the option period expires. In a cash sale with us, there's no option period — when we sign, we're committed.

- No open houses or buyer walkthroughs required
- Local DFW buyer — family-owned, not a national chain
Bankruptcy and Your Commerce Home — What Happens to the Property
Filing for bankruptcy triggers an automatic stay — a federal court order that immediately halts most collection actions, including foreclosure proceedings and collection calls. If your Commerce home is in pre-foreclosure, filing Chapter 13 bankruptcy can stop the foreclosure and give you time to propose a repayment plan to catch up on the mortgage arrears over three to five years.
Chapter 7 bankruptcy works differently. The automatic stay temporarily stops foreclosure, but if you can't continue making mortgage payments, the lender will eventually file a motion for relief from stay and the foreclosure will proceed. Chapter 7 may discharge your personal liability for any deficiency after the foreclosure, but it doesn't eliminate the lender's lien on the Commerce property itself.
Selling a Bankruptcy Property in Commerce
When a Commerce home is part of an active bankruptcy estate, selling requires court approval. The trustee or debtor-in-possession files a motion to sell, and the court approves the sale if it meets certain standards — typically that the sale is in the best interest of creditors and that proceeds will be distributed appropriately. A cash buyer with a firm offer makes this process significantly easier, as courts want to see a real, executable transaction rather than a contingent listing.
We've worked on Commerce property sales through bankruptcy court approval. The approval process typically adds 21 to 45 days depending on the court's docket, but it's manageable with the right coordination. If your Commerce home is in a bankruptcy and needs to be sold, contact us. We understand the process and will work with your bankruptcy attorney to structure the transaction correctly.
