I buy it as-is, saving you $19,800 in commissions. We handle the EPB and Hamilton County Assessor of Property paperwork for you."

Navigating the sale of an inherited property in Chattanooga can be complex, especially with Tennessee's probate laws. If a will exists, the process can take less time, typically several months. Without a will, it can extend significantly as the Hamilton County Chancery Court determines heirs and settles debts. This often involves the Hamilton County Clerk, adding layers of paperwork and potential delays. We specialize in buying probate properties, offering a streamlined process that avoids these common headaches and lengthy court timelines.
Selling a property quickly in probate can provide liquidity to cover estate costs, taxes, or distribute assets to heirs without the burden of maintaining a vacant property or enduring the slow traditional market. Our cash offers simplify the entire process, allowing you to move forward faster.
Facing foreclosure in Chattanooga, Tennessee, is a stressful situation. The state primarily uses non-judicial foreclosure, which can move quickly. After receiving a notice of default, homeowners typically have around 20-30 days to cure the default. Following this, the property must be advertised for sale for at least 21 days before an auction. This means from initial notice to sale, the process can be as short as 41 days. Time is critical.
We offer a fast solution by providing a cash offer that can stop the foreclosure process dead in its tracks. Selling to us allows you to pay off the mortgage, protect your credit, and potentially walk away with equity, rather than losing everything to the bank. Don't let the Hamilton County legal system dictate your future; take control with a swift cash sale.
Many older Ranch-style homes in Chattanooga carry unpermitted work or code violations. From outdated wiring to unpermitted additions, these issues can derail a traditional sale. Banks are hesitant to finance properties with significant code problems, and buyers are often unwilling to take on the cost and hassle of rectifying them. Common specific issues in Chattanooga include failing Federal Pacific electrical panels, which are a safety hazard and expensive to replace, or structural issues due to shifting soils.
When you sell to us, you don't need to worry about permits or code violations. We buy your Chattanooga house exactly as-is. This means no costly repairs, no navigating city inspections, and no delays. We take on the responsibility of bringing the property up to code, saving you time, money, and considerable stress.

Max's Insight:
