Before you sell your house, I would speak to a lawyer that might be able to negotiate the leins with the IRS as well

Hi mike,

You can sell off the property to pay off the IRS lien, but I would suggest you to consider Elnora's advice and consult a lawyer.

Thanks

Seek legal counsel!

One thing to point out, if your brother-in-law is trying to finance it, he will have problems. Most banks will view this transaction as a bailout and it does not help that your related (non-arms length transaction). Cash is king in this situation.
