We Buy Houses in Alcoa, TN

The 1920s-through-1950s company houses are the properties we know best here — compact, well-built, and almost always needing systems work rather than structural work. Around them sit 1960s-through-1990s ranches, and near Springbrook the redevelopment has changed what a tired house is worth.

Estate and long-term-rental exits dominate. Original company houses often pass to children who live elsewhere and have no interest in managing a rental near the airport.

Blount County specifics

Probate
Probate runs through the Blount County Chancery Court at the courthouse in Maryville. Family land that has passed informally for two or three generations usually needs an estate opened before a clean deed can be signed. Tennessee has no statutory right of redemption after a foreclosure sale in most deeds, but tax-sale purchases carry a one-year redemption period. Probate in Tennessee typically runs 6-12 months; a house can be sold during probate with court approval or by the executor once appointed.
Delinquent taxes
Delinquent taxes are handled by the Blount County Trustee and then the Clerk & Master, who conducts the tax sale under Chancery Court. Redemption runs one year from the sale.
Codes enforcement
Alcoa handles property maintenance and codes cases inside the city limits; anything outside goes through Blount County codes administration.
Permits
Building permits for work inside Alcoa are issued by the city, with Blount County covering the unincorporated area around it.

Our process

Three steps, no surprises

  1. 1

    Tell us about the house

    Call or send the address. We ask about condition, timing, and what is going on -- not for photographs or a clean house.

  2. 2

    We walk the property

    We look at it ourselves as a licensed contractor and price the repairs from real numbers instead of a padded guess.

  3. 3

    Written offer, your date

    You get a written, no-obligation offer, usually within 24 hours. You pick the closing date; we can close in as little as seven days.
