Questions sellers ask us
Can I really sell my house after getting a foreclosure notice in Tennessee?
Yes. In Tennessee you can sell any time until the foreclosure auction happens. The sale pays off the lender and the foreclosure stops.
How long do I have? How fast is Tennessee foreclosure?
Tennessee is a non-judicial foreclosure state, and the process can finish in as little as 60 days from first notice. Do not wait — every week matters.
What happens to the money if I sell before the auction?
The title company pays the mortgage, late fees, and any liens out of the sale price. Whatever is left is yours. At auction, you usually lose any equity.
Should I talk to my lender too?
Yes. Ask about reinstatement or loan modification while you get an offer from us — pursuing both at once keeps every option open until you choose.
What happens if the closing slips past the auction date?
The auction does not wait, which is why we set the closing date well inside your deadline and coordinate with the trustee from day one. If timing gets tight, a postponement can sometimes be requested — but nobody should promise you one. The honest answer: start as early as you can; every week of head start removes risk.
