Wholesalers: Assign Your Contract to a Real Buyer in West Hills, TN
The first useful question about wholesaler assignment in West Hills is what the property requires now, not what it might bring after months of work. If you have a property under contract and need a dependable end buyer, we close on assignments and double closings without renegotiating a week before the deadline. West Hills is brick-ranch country, mostly 1950s and 1960s, on lots that have had sixty years of tree growth over them. The recurring condition issues we price here are older wiring and plumbing, crawl-space moisture, and roof and window wear. Around Kingston Pike, that means separating the actual condition from the paperwork: older wiring and plumbing, crawl-space moisture, and roof and window wear can affect price, while west hills is unincorporated, so knox county handles codes and permits. We identify both before the written offer so the seller is not waiting for a retail inspection to expose them later. Our written offer reflects the current structure, the likely work, and the facts of this situation without borrowing a county office paragraph for sales copy. West Hills is twenty minutes from the office, and we can usually get out there the day you call.

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.
What changes in West Hills, Knox County
The local part of the answer
Where the paperwork happens for a West Hills property
County filings are handled at the courthouse in Knoxville; from West Hills, plan on the local trip before an in-person filing or hearing. Deeds, releases and any curative document for this parcel record with the Knox County Register of Deeds in Knoxville.
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 West Hills 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.

Questions to ask any buyer in West Hills
- • Is your offer conditioned on an inspection, or is it firm?
- • If you find something we did not know about, do you renegotiate?
Also in play: Title problems and clouded deeds
A title defect is anything in the recorded chain that prevents a title company from insuring a transfer: a missing release, a break in the chain, a misdescribed boundary, an old easement, a deed signed by someone who lacked authority, or an unresolved estate. Everything is resolved through the county Register of Deeds records where the parcel sits.
- • A financed buyer's lender will not close without insurable title.
- • Curative work -- affidavits, quitclaim deeds, corrective deeds, releases -- takes time but is often routine.
