Choose the question closest to yours
Selling a Newport house when something has made it harder
Foreclosure
If a trustee's sale is scheduled, tell us the date right away so we can try to close before it.
Fire damage
You keep the insurance money and don't have to worry about the house anymore — we'll take care of it.
Confirm how the proceeds and any mortgage requirements apply to your claim with your insurer and mortgage servicer.
Liens and back taxes
When you sell to us, we can set it up so you don't have to prepay anything — it comes out at closing.
Tenants
You're done — no turnover, no repairs, no more bad tenants.
Code violations
The fines don't stop while you think about it. They pile up, they add new ones, and every month takes another bite out of what the property is worth to you. We can buy it quickly, violations and all, so you stop the bleeding and keep your equity.
Open city orders or charges still need attention, and selling does not erase an existing property lien. If the City does repair work because an owner does not comply, those costs can become a lien. When you sell to us, we're the buyer, so repairs become our job.
Divorce
You only have to agree on one thing — the price. After that we handle the rest, so there's nothing to argue about over repairs, contractors, showings, or who pays for what.
Cash Offer or EZ Sale: compare the written numbers
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.

What Newport sellers should know
A City notice or County permit question
Newport is Cocke County's seat, but the City and County list separate development services. Newport Community Development handles City planning and zoning, building inspections and permits, and codes enforcement; Cocke County's Zoning Department publishes County development-permit information. If a notice is part of the sale, send it with the property address so we can include it in our review.
