Sell your with back taxes owed Knoxville house for cash — we buy direct
Owing back property taxes doesn't stop you from selling — but it does compress the timeline before the county can move to tax sale. A cash sale pays off the taxes directly from the proceeds at closing, often before any auction would happen. We buy tax-delinquent property routinely and can close on these.
Lockwood Home Buyers makes cash offers directly to homeowners — no fees, no commissions, and no obligation to accept. We are not a real-estate agent or broker; we buy houses for cash.
How the Tennessee timeline works
Tennessee is a non-judicial deed-of-trust state with one of the shortest timelines in the country — publication for a few weeks and then the sale. From first notice to auction can be under 60 days.
Tennessee closings run through title companies or closing attorneys; two-week cash closings are common.
