How it works in Knox County

The local process, step by step

  1. Step 1

    Leases run with the property

    A sale does not terminate an existing lease in Tennessee; the buyer takes subject to it.

  2. Step 2

    Deposits and notice

    Security deposits transfer to the new owner and tenants are notified where to pay rent going forward.

  3. Step 3

    Closing

    Rents are prorated and deposits credited at closing, exactly like taxes.

Knox County offices involved

Probate
Probate is handled by the Knox County Chancery Court, Probate Division, at the City-County Building at 400 Main Street downtown. An executor with letters testamentary can sign a sale contract once the court has appointed them. 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 property taxes are collected by the Knox County Trustee. Parcels that stay unpaid are turned over to the Clerk & Master and sold at tax sale through Chancery Court, and a tax-sale purchase carries a one-year redemption period.
Codes
Halls Crossroads is served by Knox County codes administration, which handles property maintenance, junk, and unsafe-structure cases outside any city limits.
Permits
Building and repair permits around Halls Crossroads are issued by Knox County out of Knoxville.

Legal notes

  • In URLTA counties -- which include Tennessee's larger ones -- security deposit handling and notice rules are specific; the closing attorney will handle the transfer correctly.
  • Tenants generally must be given notice of the new owner and payment instructions.

Your options

  • Hire a property manager and keep holding
  • Empty the units, renovate, and list retail
  • Sell occupied, as-is, in one transaction

How we handle it

Selling to us in Halls Crossroads

Keep the tenants in place -- we buy occupied and take over the leases. We buy single houses and small portfolios in one closing, and deposits and prorated rents are simply credited at the closing table.

  • We buy occupied, so you do not have to end a tenancy, turn the unit, or lose months to vacancy.
  • Deferred maintenance across a portfolio does not need to be caught up before closing.
  • Security deposits and prorated rents are handled properly on the settlement statement.
  • Single doors or small portfolios, and we can stagger closings if you are unwinding gradually.

Halls is a twenty-minute run up Maynardville Highway, and we can usually see it within a day or two.

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.
