Questions About Selling a House in Jackson, TN

The sale price is not the amount you keep. Compare the written price with repairs, commissions, concessions, cleanout, ongoing bills, your mortgage payoff, liens, back taxes, and your share of current property taxes. The total depends on your house and the sale terms, so compare possible net proceeds rather than only the headline price.

Tennessee charges a realty transfer tax when a deed is recorded. For a taxable transfer, the rate is 37 cents for each $100 of the price paid or the property's value, whichever is greater. The law assigns the tax to the buyer. 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.

Yes. Call with the property address, what you know about its condition, who lives there, and your timing. A deed, lease, payoff statement, tax notice, lien notice, or court paper can help answer the next question, but you can call before you have everything gathered.

Often, yes, if you close before the foreclosure sale. Many Tennessee home loans use a deed of trust. When the loan papers include a power-of-sale clause, the trustee—the person named to conduct the sale—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. A third-party internet posting company must post the notice 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 sale can be postponed one or more times without a new newspaper notice, but it must still happen within one year of the 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—take the property back through the redemption process—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.

You can ask about the house as it stands. Keep the notice and deadline, if there is one; a sale does not by itself clear an open code order, lien, or unpaid tax balance. The actual property records and settlement figures determine what must be addressed.
