Sell Your House Fast in Chattanooga, TN. Rented, Inherited or Needing Work.

Most sales close in 21 to 42 days, or later if you need more time. You pick the date. The timeline depends on the title work, any liens or mortgage payoffs, and the closing provider, so a clean title usually moves faster than one with open items.

A title or escrow company handles the closing. It checks the title, arranges payoffs, holds the funds and records the deed. You do not have to hire an attorney, but you are free to have your own attorney review the purchase agreement, and comparing offers before you sign is a good idea.

We pay the closing costs on a sale to us, except your share of any transfer tax, and the purchase agreement sets this out. Eagle does not charge you an agent commission on a direct sale to us. Your mortgage payoff and any liens, delinquent taxes, HOA or association balances, agreed prorations and other seller obligations are deducted from your proceeds when applicable. The closing professional provides a settlement statement showing the charges and credits before closing. Transfer, deed, conveyance or similar taxes vary by state and locality. For a sale in Chattanooga: about 0.37% of value; the contract decides who pays.

Often, yes. Delinquent property taxes and many recorded liens can be paid from the sale proceeds at closing, provided there is enough equity and the required payoff or release can be obtained. The title search or other closing review will identify items that must be paid, released or otherwise resolved. A disputed lien, an unavailable payoff or debts exceeding the available proceeds can delay or prevent closing unless the issue is resolved or the creditor agrees to another arrangement. Tell us what you know upfront so the closing professional can investigate it early.

It depends on how title was held and Tennessee law. Property held in the deceased owner's name alone may require probate or another estate procedure before anyone has authority to sign a deed. Property held in a trust or with survivorship rights may pass outside probate. A probate or estate attorney licensed in Tennessee should confirm who has authority and which procedure applies. We can evaluate the property and make an offer while that is being established, but we cannot close until someone has legal authority to sign.

Selling a property as-is does not automatically eliminate disclosure obligations under applicable federal, state or local law. Tell us what you know about the roof, plumbing, electrical system, foundation, environmental conditions and any past damage or repairs so we can evaluate the property accurately and address known issues in writing before you sign. A real estate attorney licensed in Tennessee can confirm which disclosures apply.

Eagle may purchase the property itself or, if the purchase agreement permits, assign its contractual rights to another investor or purchasing entity. Any assignment right is stated in the agreement before you sign. The agreement also states the price, closing date or timeline, contingencies and other material terms. The closing is handled by the title company, escrow holder, settlement agent or closing attorney used for the transaction.

A sale may help avoid a foreclosure sale if it closes in time and the proceeds are enough to satisfy the required payoff, or if the lender gives written approval to accept less. In Tennessee, a home loan secured by a deed of trust is generally foreclosed by a trustee's sale rather than through a court case. We cannot promise to stop or postpone a foreclosure; that depends on the lender or servicer, the trustee or the court, the timing and whether the transaction closes. Contact us as early as possible and bring every notice you have so we can usually tell you whether our expected timeline appears workable. A HUD-approved housing counselor or an attorney licensed in Tennessee can explain your legal options and deadlines. At Eagle, we can help only if there are at least 3 weeks before the auction date and you can send paperwork quickly and help the title company close fast. Our Tennessee page explains how the foreclosure process generally works in the state.

Yes, when the mobile home is sold together with the land it sits on. If you own the land and the home together, send us the address and we can tell you whether the numbers work.

Often, yes. We can evaluate a rental with tenants in place, and the offer reflects the property as it stands. A lease generally passes to the buyer at closing, but what happens depends on the lease terms, so send us a copy early if you have one.

We can evaluate a vacant house, whether it is a former home, an inherited property or a house you moved out of. If you live in another city, you can usually handle the sale by phone and email and sign remotely, as the title or escrow company arranges. Whether we make an offer depends on the area, the value and whether the numbers work, not on the condition of the house.

We look at houses across the city and Hamilton County, but not every house gets an offer from us. Whether we can depends on the area, the value and whether the numbers work, not on the condition of the house.

Most cash buyers work backward from what the house would sell for after it is fixed up, then subtract the repairs, the holding and resale costs, and a margin for risk. Our How It Works page shows the math. Recent sales nearby and the condition of the house both feed into it.

On the open market, buyers usually expect a house that is clean and in good repair, and many sellers declutter and add cleaning, home staging and small repairs before the listing goes live. A direct sale to Eagle is the other route: we buy as-is, so you usually do not need to do any of that, and the offer reflects what the house needs.
