Sweetwater home sale calculator: what you'd actually put in your pocket
The sale price is only the starting point. What matters is what you keep after your payoff, repairs, fees, and other costs come out. That's your net proceeds.
The home value starts with Zillow’s typical value for the area. Your house may be worth more or less. You can change the value and every cost below. Adjust anything you know, including your payoff, repair or credit risk, cleanout cost, agent commission, and how long you expect to carry the property.

See what you'd actually walk away with.
Your starting home-value estimate may come from a public source when one is available. You can edit that estimate and each cost input above; your property's actual value and closing costs may differ.
Choose the condition that best fits your home, then update the value, mortgage payoff, and cost inputs with what you know. This is an estimate for local costs, not a verified local tax rate.

Selling a Sweetwater house in a difficult situation
Foreclosure
Fire damage
You keep the insurance money and don't have to worry about the house anymore — we'll take care of it.
If you still have a mortgage, your lender may have a say in how that check is used — we'll walk through it with you.
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.
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.

Selling costs in Sweetwater: Tennessee realty transfer tax
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. If the amount used to calculate the tax is $100,000, the tax is $370. By law, the buyer pays it; the county Register of Deeds collects this state tax. It is a state tax, not an additional city or county tax. Some transfers are exempt, including certain transfers between spouses, divorce settlements, an executor's deed carrying out a will, and transfers into or out of a revocable living trust.
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.
What Sweetwater sellers should know
City repair orders in Tennessee
Tennessee cities can order repairs or close a building after notice and a hearing. If repairs are not reasonable, a city can order demolition. If the city does the work, its costs can become a lien collected with property taxes. When you sell to us, we're the buyer, so the repairs become our job. Tennessee municipal building law overview →
