Your remaining payments, paid to you today

If you sold a property in St. Charles and let the buyer pay you over time, you hold a note. We buy the payments still owed to you, all of them or only some, and pay you one lump sum at closing. Your buyer keeps the same terms and simply pays the new holder.

The example on the right is a made-up St. Charles note to show how it works: 37 payments made, 263 left. Your specialist prices your note from its payment history, the equity and the payer.

Selling a note in Missouri: what’s different here

  • Deeds of trust and trustee’s sales. Most Missouri owner-financed sales are secured by a deed of trust, which the holder can enforce by a trustee’s sale instead of a lawsuit (RSMo 443.410). The sale is held in the county where the land is, after at least 20 days’ notice (RSMo 443.310) published in a newspaper (RSMo 443.320).
  • Redemption is narrow. The borrower can only redeem within a year if the note holder bought the property at the sale, and only after giving written notice and posting a court-approved bond (RSMo 443.410, 443.420). If someone else buys at the sale, there is no statutory redemption.
  • Note holders can ask to be notified. Anyone with an interest, such as a note buyer or a partial owner of a note, can record a request for notice of sale with the county recorder; whoever forecloses must then mail them a notice (RSMo 443.325).

General information, not legal advice. Talk with a Missouri real estate attorney about your own situation.

Where your St. Charles note is recorded

When you sell a note, the mortgage, deed of trust or contract is assigned to the buyer, and the assignment is recorded with the same county office that recorded the original. St. Charles is the county seat of St. Charles County.

How selling your note works

  1. Tell us about the note

    Use the quote form or call 636-277-9239. The basics are enough: the balance, the payment, how many payments are left and the property address.

  2. Send the documents

    The promissory note, the recorded mortgage, deed of trust or deed of trust, the closing statement and the payment history.

  3. Get a written offer

    A note specialist reviews the payment history, the property and the payer, then sends you a written offer for all or part of the note.

  4. Close and get paid

    Closing runs through a title company or attorney. You receive one lump sum, and your borrower is told where to send future payments.

St. Charles housing market at a glance

A note is only as strong as the property and the market behind it. These are the numbers a note buyer looks at for St. Charles:

71,508people live in St. Charles
$298,700median home value (it was $226,200 in the 2017–2021 survey)
$85,937median household income
20,634owner-occupied homes, next to 9,728 renter households

Source: U.S. Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-year estimates (2020–2024 unless noted), via Data USA.

What it means for you: St. Charles home values have climbed since the 2017–2021 survey, so notes written on homes here a few years ago usually have more equity now. Missouri’s trustee’s sale gives a short, defined path if a payer stops paying, and a buyer will check that the deed of trust was recorded with the county.

Questions from St. Charles note holders

Do you buy notes around St. Charles?

Yes: in St. Charles, St. Peters, O’Fallon and Wentzville, across St. Charles and St. Louis counties, and anywhere else in Missouri.

My buyer pays me on a deed of trust. Can I sell it?

Often, yes. Send us the deed of trust and the payment history and we’ll review it. A deed of trust that’s properly recorded, with clean payment records, is worth the most.

What happens if my borrower stops paying?

Most Missouri owner-financed sales are secured by a deed of trust, which the holder can enforce by a trustee’s sale instead of a lawsuit (RSMo 443.410). The sale is held in the county where the land is, after at least 20 days’ notice (RSMo 443.310) published in a newspaper (RSMo 443.320).

Do I have to live in St. Charles to sell my note?

No. The property has to be in or around St. Charles; you can live anywhere. Closings run through a title company or attorney, and documents can be signed with a mobile notary.

What will I get for my St. Charles note?

It depends on the balance, the interest rate, the payment history, the equity in the property and the payer’s credit. A note specialist reviews those and sends you a written offer. The quote is free and there’s no obligation.
