Do you buy land in Union County with no recorded easement?

Yes. Landlocked and prescriptive-access parcels are a normal part of what we buy. We price the access problem into the offer instead of walking away from it.

Is Union County land worth anything if it is all hillside?

It is worth something to the right buyer — hunting, timber, and recreational users care much less about slope than a homebuilder does.

About Union County

Union County sits directly north of Knox County along Highway 33, with Norris Lake shoreline, Maynardville and Luttrell as its main towns, and large stretches of rural ridge-and-valley farmland. Parcel and appraisal records are kept by the Union County Property Assessor, 901 Main St, Maynardville; tax balances and payoffs come from the Union County Trustee, 901 Main St, Maynardville.

Population: roughly 20,000.

Land in Union County

Land in Union County ranges from small in-town lots to larger rural tracts. We review each parcel on its own — recorded access, utility availability, soil and septic status, and the current tax and greenbelt classification — instead of assuming what a given tract can support.

Houses in Union County

We buy houses throughout Union County in any condition, including ones that need full system replacement or a complete cleanout, and we never ask the owner to make repairs before closing.

An option beyond a lump sum

We also buy on monthly payments

Some land sellers don't want one large check. An installment sale — seller financing — lets you receive payments over months or years instead, with interest, so the gain may be recognized as payments arrive rather than all at once.

Predictable monthly income
A fixed deposit on the same day every month for the length of the term you choose.
Spread the tax year
Taking the full price in one year can push the entire gain into that year. Payments may let gain be recognized as they arrive.
No more bills
No property tax, no mowing, no maintenance. We take those over the day we close.
Secured by the property
The note is secured by a recorded deed of trust against the land itself.
