Compare the choices
A listing may fit if the house is ready to show and you can take on preparation and buyer visits. Compare the likely proceeds after repairs, cleaning, commissions, inspection requests, taxes, insurance, utilities, and the bills you carry while waiting for a buyer and closing.
A direct sale gives you written terms to compare without repairing, cleaning, or clearing the house first. Consider the property's condition, occupancy, payoff, liens, taxes, and your timing alongside the number you would receive.
The Cash Offer and EZ Sale have different buyers and timeframes. Compare their written numbers and terms with a listing before choosing what fits.
We have two ways to buy. A Cash Offer is built for speed, condition, and tough situations — heavy repairs, tight timelines, difficult circumstances. EZ Sale is often the better fit when the house doesn't need major repairs and you want a higher number. Either way, you compare written numbers and you pick what works best for you.

Local property context
McMinnville is Warren County's county seat. City GIS maps city limits, property boundaries, and zoning; City Community Development lists permits, inspections, floodplain management, and code enforcement, while Warren County publishes separate building and environmental code information. The property address and any notice identify the office relevant to a specific question. We can review a house with an open permit or code issue as it stands.

Warren County history places McMinnville's 1810 townsite north of the Barren Fork River, with a central reservation for civic buildings. Court Square and the river can help orient a downtown property, but the historic townsite does not establish a particular home's age or condition. We look at the house itself when discussing a sale.
Taxes and deadlines
For a taxable deed, Tennessee charges 37 cents for each $100 of the price paid or the property's value, whichever is greater. A $100,000 taxable transfer owes $370. State law assigns the tax to the buyer, and the county Register of Deeds collects it for the state when the deed is recorded. Some transfers are exempt.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including Tennessee's realty transfer tax. Your mortgage, liens, back taxes and share of current property taxes are separate.

Often, yes, if you close before the foreclosure sale. Many Tennessee home loans use a deed of trust. When it includes a power of sale, the trustee can auction the house without a court case. Under the usual notice rules in effect since July 1, 2025, notice must run at least twice in a newspaper published in the county, with the first notice at least 20 days before the sale. It must also be posted online by a third-party internet posting company for at least 20 days in a row. The trustee must mail you a copy by registered or certified mail by the date of the first newspaper notice.
Unless the loan papers forbid it, the trustee may postpone the sale one or more times without a new newspaper notice, but the sale must still happen within one year of its original date. Each new date must be announced at the scheduled sale and posted online unless the delay is less than five days. If the sale is pushed back more than 30 days, the new date, time, and place must be mailed to you at least 10 days before the sale. For a sale under a deed of trust or mortgage without a court judgment, Tennessee law gives a two-year right to redeem unless the deed or mortgage expressly waives it; court-ordered sales have different rules.
If a trustee's sale is scheduled, tell us the date right away so we can try to close before it.
