Sell Without Showings, Commissions, or Contingencies in Farragut, TN
No Showings or Fees changes the practical value of a Farragut property long before it changes the address. A listing means strangers in your house on someone else's schedule, a commission off the top, and a contract that can collapse over an appraisal. A direct sale removes all three. Downsizing is the most common reason we get called in Farragut, followed by out-of-state heirs settling a parent's estate on a house that is worth real money but shows its age. That seller profile matters because time, clean-out, and repair capacity shape the sensible exit. Around the Turkey Creek area, that means separating the actual condition from the paperwork: deferred roof maintenance, drainage or foundation movement, and dated mechanical systems can affect price, while farragut handles codes and permits inside its incorporated limits; knox county handles the surrounding unincorporated area. We identify both before the written offer so the seller is not waiting for a retail inspection to expose them later. Because we are both the buyer and a licensed contractor, the offer can account for the actual work instead of depending on a financed buyer's inspection and appraisal. County filings are handled at the courthouse in Knoxville; from Farragut, plan on the local trip before an in-person filing or hearing.

What this means under Tennessee law
Disclosure and selling as-is in Tennessee
Tennessee requires most residential sellers to give the buyer a written property condition disclosure before a binding contract. The statute also allows a disclaimer -- an as-is sale -- and it exempts certain transfers entirely, including transfers by a fiduciary administering an estate, transfers resulting from a court order, and transfers by foreclosure. Selling as-is does not permit concealing a known defect.
How it affects the sale
- • An as-is disclaimer sets the buyer's expectation but does not erase liability for active misrepresentation.
- • Estate and foreclosure-related transfers may be statutorily exempt from the disclosure form.
- • Being straightforward about known defects is what keeps a cash offer from being renegotiated later.
Where owners get stuck
- • Sellers worry that disclosing a defect will lose the sale, when it usually just prices it.
- • Executors often have no personal knowledge of the property's condition at all.
Governing law: T.C.A. § 66-5-201 et seq., T.C.A. § 66-5-202, T.C.A. § 66-5-209. General information about Tennessee procedure, not legal advice for your situation.
Before you sell
What to do first
- Step 1
Write down what you know
Make your own list of known defects before you speak to a buyer. Tennessee allows an as-is sale, but an as-is disclaimer does not cover concealing something you knew about -- and a straightforward list is what stops an offer being renegotiated later.
- Step 2
Pull the parcel record
Look the property up with the Knox County Property Assessor and confirm the parcel number, the acreage or square footage of record, and the mailing address notices are being sent to.
- Step 3
Confirm the tax status
Get the county balance from the Knox County Trustee and the city balance from Farragut separately. Inside the city limits there are two.
- Step 4
Get a written number before you commit
Whether you list or sell direct, get the offer in writing with the closing date and who pays what stated on its face. We will put ours in writing after we have walked the property.
Your options
- • Complete the disclosure form fully.
- • Use the statutory disclaimer where the sale is genuinely as-is.
- • Confirm with an attorney whether your transfer is exempt.
What to have in hand
- • Any inspection reports you already have
- • Records of past repairs, insurance claims or water intrusion
- • Your own written list of known defects
When to bring in a professional
A Tennessee real estate attorney can confirm whether an estate or foreclosure transfer is exempt from the disclosure requirement.
