Sell Your House Fast in Johnson City, TN. Older Homes, Rentals, Inherited Houses.

We start from what similar Johnson City houses have sold for recently once repaired, then take off the cost of the work your house needs, our costs to resell it and a margin so the business can operate. That is why a cash offer can come in below an online estimate or a listing price. The written offer shows the price, the terms and an estimate of what you would net. Asking for one costs nothing, and you are under no obligation to take it.

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 foreclosure generally proceeds by a sale under the mortgage or deed of trust 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 sale process, the timing and whether the transaction closes. Contact us as early as possible and bring every notice you have so we can 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. Our Tennessee page explains how the foreclosure process generally works in the state.

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.

The closing is handled by a Tennessee title company, settlement agent or closing attorney. The title is searched, the closing papers are prepared, your loan and anything else owed is paid from the proceeds when the price covers it, and you receive the balance when the agent disburses the funds. The deed is recorded with the register of deeds in the county where the house sits. You can have a Tennessee real estate attorney review the paperwork at any point, and one is worth having for an estate, a foreclosure or a title problem. Most of our closings land 21 to 42 days after signing, or later if you need more time, and you pick the date.

Yes. We buy in the Tree Streets and the rest of South Side, in the Mountain Home area, out toward Boones Creek, and in 37601, 37604, 37615 and every other ZIP code in the city. Where the house sits can affect the price. We also buy in nearby cities such as Elizabethton, Kingsport and Bristol.

Yes. The Tree Streets Historic Conservation District has design guidelines, and the city's Historic Zoning Commission reviews expansions and new construction there. That review matters to someone planning to change the house. If you are selling it as it stands, you do not have to start any of that work first. The city's planning staff can tell you what applies to your address.

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.

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.

No. We buy houses as they stand: an old roof, a dated kitchen, an overgrown yard or a house still full of belongings. Take what you want and leave the rest. The written offer already reflects the condition, so there is nothing to fix or stage before you sign.

Yes, when the land comes with it. If you own both the manufactured home and the lot it sits on, in Johnson City or the surrounding area, we can make one offer on the two together. A mobile home in a park or on a rented lot is not something we buy.

It depends on the house and on what you need. A cash sale usually brings less than listing the same house after repairs would. What it gives you is a price in writing, no repairs, no showings, no agent commission and a date you choose. If the house is in good shape and you have months to spare, listing may net you more. If it needs work or time is short, compare the two in writing before you decide.

The offer price, less your loan payoff, any liens or back taxes, and your share of any transfer tax that falls to you. You pay no agent commission, and we pay the closing costs, apart from those items. The closing agent prepares a settlement statement showing every line before you sign.

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.

Eagle Cash Buyers, LLC buys houses for cash in 43 states, Tennessee among them. We are BBB accredited and hold 4.5 stars from 40 Google reviews, not all of them five stars. We either buy the house ourselves or assign our contract to a partner investor, and the agreement discloses those assignment rights before you sign.

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 Johnson City: about 0.37% of value; the contract decides who pays.
