Sell your house in Lenoir City, Tennessee — as-is

Selling a Lenoir City house exactly as it stands

Houses around Lenoir City range from older in-town homes to newer subdivision construction, and we look at each one on its own rather than assuming anything from the address. On a call we ask what needs work, whether anyone is living in the house now, and whether the deed, mortgage and any estate paperwork are in order. Nothing has to be repaired, cleaned out or staged first.

We buy throughout Downtown Lenoir City, Tellico Village edge, Highland Park, Eaton Crossroads and along Highway 321 (Lamar Alexander) and US-11 (Broadway), in ZIP codes 37771, 37772.

Repairs and renovation costs you skip

A retail sale usually begins with a contractor estimate, because a lender will not fund a house with an active roof leak or a failed heat source (here is our process instead).

We price the work into our number instead of asking you to fund it. Roof, foundation, plumbing, electrical, mold, smoke damage, a gutted bathroom that has been gutted for three years — none of that automatically rules out an offer, and none of it comes back at you as a repair request after an inspection.

Vacant, occupied, inherited, or rented

A vacant house can cost money quietly: insurers often reprice or cancel a policy once a house is unoccupied, unheated pipes are exposed to freezes, and an empty building is harder to secure. An inherited house often involves more than one heir and a probate file. A rental comes with a tenant, a deposit, and sometimes a court date.

We buy in each of those states. If the estate has not been opened yet we can point you to East Tennessee probate attorneys; if a tenant is in place we can usually take the tenancy over rather than asking you to empty the house first. Anything involving an estate, a lien, or a lease is confirmed with the county records and your own attorney before closing — nothing here is legal or tax advice.

Liens, back taxes, and the closing itself

Mortgage payoffs, judgment liens, contractor liens, and delinquent property tax are normally paid out of the purchase price at closing rather than out of your pocket beforehand, provided the payoffs fit within the offer. Payoff figures come from the Loudon County Trustee, 101 Mulberry St, Loudon and the register of deeds; parcel and appraisal detail comes from the Loudon County Property Assessor, 101 Mulberry St, Loudon.

For scale, the Loudon County rate is $1.7683 per $100 of assessed value for 2025 in the Tennessee Comptroller's published rate table, and Tennessee assesses residential property at 25% of appraised value, so a $200,000 appraisal carries roughly $884 a year in county tax before any city rate. Rates change annually — confirm yours with the county.
