Luttrell houses, as we actually see them
Manufactured homes on acreage are the dominant housing type. They are difficult to finance, so cash is often the only realistic path to a sale.
Luttrell is a small incorporated town in Union County, the boyhood home of Chet Atkins, north of Corryton along Highway 61. The Union County Assessor and Trustee are in Maynardville on Main Street, and Union County's rate runs above Knox County's.
Typical parcels here: One to fifty acre rural tracts, with steep ridge ground on Clinch Mountain and flatter valley bottoms along Highway 61. We buy along Highway 61 (Maynardville Highway), Tazewell Pike, Highway 131 and throughout Luttrell, Corryton edge, Loyston area, and we know the difference between a buildable acre and an acre that only looks buildable on the county map.
Taxes and county records for Luttrell
Luttrell sits in Union County, seat at Maynardville. The county rate runs about $2.0500 per $100 of assessed value, and Tennessee assesses residential and farm property at 25% of appraised value. So a parcel appraised at $75,000 carries roughly $384 a year in county tax before any city levy.
Parcel data, acreage, and appraisals come from the Union County Property Assessor, 901 Main St, Maynardville. Payment status, delinquencies, and payoff amounts come from the Union County Trustee, 901 Main St, Maynardville. Deeds, plats, liens, and releases are recorded with the county register of deeds. We pull all three before we make an offer, and we will tell you what we find whether you sell to us or not.
Rates change every year and city rates stack on top of county rates. Use these as planning figures and confirm your exact bill with the county.
Why Luttrell owners call us
Most of the houses we buy in Luttrell would not survive a lender's inspection: original wiring, a roof at the end of its life, a crawlspace with moisture, or a house that has been closed up for two years. Retail buyers walk and agents ask you to spend money first. We price the work in and buy it as it stands.
Local landmarks we use for orientation when we are out there: Chuck Berry birthplace marker (Chet Atkins boyhood home), Norris Lake, Clinch Mountain, Luttrell Elementary. ZIP codes we buy in: 37779.
What happens after you call
We pull your Union County records the same day, look at the property within a day or two, and send a written, itemized offer — usually within 24 hours. It is good for 7 days with no obligation. If we think listing in Luttrell would net you more after commission and repairs, we will say so in writing.
Closing is at a local title company or attorney's office, on the day you choose. We pay the standard closing costs, and funds go out by wire the same day you sign.

We also buy on monthly payments
Some 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.

Real sellers, real situations, first names and towns as they asked us to publish them.
"Mom's house in Fountain City had fifty years of stuff in it and I live in Michigan. They bought it as-is, cleared it out themselves, and wired my share three weeks after I called. I never flew down once."
"I owned eleven acres in Corryton my grandfather left us. Four cousins on the deed, no probate ever filed. Their title attorney untangled it and everybody got a separate check at closing."
"I took the monthly payment option on my Sevier County lot instead of a lump sum. I get a deposit on the first of every month now instead of a tax bill every October. Wish I'd done it ten years ago."
