Halls Crossroads land, as we actually see it
Land north of Halls along Maynardville Pike is where Knox County stops feeling suburban. Steep ridge parcels here were often split off decades ago with nothing more than a handshake about the driveway, and that missing easement is what kills a conventional sale.
Halls Crossroads is unincorporated, so Knox County is the only taxing authority. The commercial strip along Maynardville Pike is the main artery, and traffic on SR-33 heading toward Union County shapes value more than anything else here.
Typical parcels here: Half-acre to two-acre residential lots dominate, with larger wooded tracts of ten to fifty acres on the ridges toward the Union County line. We buy along Maynardville Pike (SR-33), Emory Road, Norris Freeway (SR-170) and throughout Halls, Crippen Road area, Bishop Road, 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 Halls Crossroads
Halls Crossroads sits in Knox County, seat at Knoxville. The county rate runs about $1.5540 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 $291 a year in county tax before any city levy.
Parcel data, acreage, and appraisals come from the Knox County Property Assessor, 400 Main St, Suite 204, Knoxville. Payment status, delinquencies, and payoff amounts come from the Knox County Trustee, 400 Main St, Suite 245, Knoxville. 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 Halls Crossroads owners call us
Land here does not move the way houses do. Banks will not finance raw ground without a heavy down payment, agents earn very little on a small parcel, and a Halls Crossroads listing can sit for a year with a handful of drive-bys. Meanwhile the tax notice arrives every fall regardless. We are not borrowing to buy, so there is no appraisal, no lender conditions, and nothing to fall through.
Local landmarks we use for orientation when we are out there: Halls Community Park, Halls High School, Beaver Creek, Halls Crossroads Library. ZIP codes we buy in: 37918.
What happens after you call
We pull your Knox 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 Halls Crossroads 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 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.

"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."
