Tennessee charges a realty transfer tax when the deed is recorded. The rate is 37 cents for each $100 of the price paid or the property's value, whichever is greater; by law, the buyer pays it. The county register of deeds collects the tax for the state. 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 sell the house at a public auction without a court case. Under the usual notice rules in effect since July 1, 2025, the sale notice must run at least two times in a newspaper published in the county. The first newspaper notice must be at least 20 days before the sale. The notice 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 of the notice by registered or certified mail by the date of the first newspaper notice. Unless the loan papers forbid it, the sale can be postponed one or more times without a new newspaper notice. The sale must still happen within one year of the original date. Each new date must be announced at the scheduled sale. It must also be 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 of trust or mortgage expressly waives it. A court-ordered sale has different rules. If a trustee's sale is scheduled, tell us the date right away so we can try to close before it.
