Common Knoxville Situations
We see these often. Each one has a guide with more detail.
You own a rental
Tennessee's disclosure law exempts homes the owner has not lived in at any time in the past three years. We may buy rentals with tenants in place.
Selling a rental propertyYou got a codes letter
Knoxville gives owners up to 120 days from a violation letter to fix a structure, depending on severity. We often buy homes as-is, open violations included.
Selling a house that needs repairsThe house sits empty
In Knoxville, grass over 12 inches makes a lot overgrown, and owners get 14 days to fix it. We often buy vacant homes as-is.
Selling a vacant houseA foreclosure notice arrived
Tennessee requires the first newspaper notice at least 20 days before a trustee sale. Many owners request an offer well before the sale date.
Selling a house in pre-foreclosureYou inherited a house
Tennessee's small estate process covers personal property only, not real estate. Many heirs talk with a probate attorney, then request an offer once they can sell.
Selling an inherited houseYou have a city tax bill
City of Knoxville property taxes are payable October 1 each year and become delinquent the following March 1. Have your latest tax bill handy when you request an offer.
What to have ready for your first callYour listing expired
About 23% of Knox County homes for sale had a price drop in September 2026, per Redfin. If your listing ended, a cash offer is another path to consider.
Selling after your listing expiredYou are planning a move
Relocating for work or downsizing? We often let you pick a closing date that lines up with your move.
Choosing your closing dateCash Sale or Listing?
Both work. The right one depends on your timeline and the condition of the house.

Tennessee Rules Worth Knowing
The basics for selling a home in Knox County. General information, not legal or tax advice.
Transfer tax
T.C.A. 67-4-409(a) taxes realty transfers at 37 cents per $100 of the price or value, whichever is greater. The statute says the buyer pays it.
Residential Property Condition Disclosure Act
Under T.C.A. 66-5-202, owners give a disclosure statement, or a disclaimer if the buyer waives disclosure. T.C.A. 66-5-209 lists exempt transfers.
Foreclosure notice
T.C.A. 35-5-101 requires at least two newspaper notices, the first at least 20 days before the sale. The debtor must also get notice by registered or certified mail.
Property tax relief and freeze
The Knox County Trustee runs state tax relief for some older, disabled and veteran owners, plus a senior tax freeze. Both must be renewed every year.
Knoxville Seller Questions
Straight answers on how a cash sale works here.
Who makes the offer on my house?
We do. Cash Offer Company buys houses in Knox County. Requesting an offer is free and there's no obligation.
Who pays the transfer tax in Tennessee?
T.C.A. 67-4-409(a) says the grantee, or buyer, pays it. The rate is 37 cents per $100 of the price or value, whichever is greater. A title company can walk you through closing costs.
Do I have to give a disclosure statement?
Usually, under T.C.A. 66-5-202, unless the buyer waives it and you give a disclaimer. Some sales are exempt under T.C.A. 66-5-209. A real estate attorney can confirm what applies.
How much notice comes before a Tennessee foreclosure sale?
Under T.C.A. 35-5-101, the first newspaper notice runs at least 20 days before the sale. A HUD-approved housing counselor can also help you review options.
Can I sell a house I inherited in Knoxville?
Usually, once someone has authority to sell. Tennessee's $50,000 small estate process under T.C.A. 30-4-102 covers personal property, not real estate. A probate attorney can explain your options.
Is there property tax help for Knox County seniors?
The Knox County Trustee lists a senior tax freeze for owners 65 or older with combined 2025 income of $63,470 or less. It covers your primary residence and is renewed yearly. The Trustee can confirm eligibility.

Usually not. We often buy Knoxville homes as-is. Share any Neighborhood Codes Enforcement letters with us when you request an offer.
