Why East Tennessee Homeowners Look for a Cash Buyer
Yes – Harris Property Solutions buys houses for cash across East Tennessee, no matter the condition or situation. There are no fees, no commissions, and no repairs required. Simply tell us about your property, and we’ll provide a fair, no-obligation cash offer within 24 hours. If you accept, you can close in as little as seven days or choose a later date that works better for you. We’re a family-owned company based in Athens, McMinn County, TN-not a national platform that prices your home from a spreadsheet. Every offer comes from someone who has actually taken the time to look at your property and understand your situation.
That flexibility is especially helpful when selling traditionally isn’t practical. Maybe the property has code violations, you’re dealing with bankruptcy, or you live out of state. Whatever the situation, you can avoid repairs, commissions, and the uncertainty of a traditional listing-and choose a simple closing timeline that works for you.
The Situations We Help With Most
Every seller’s story is a little different, but most calls fall into a handful of familiar situations. If you see yours below, that page walks through exactly how we handle it:
Your Options for Selling a House in East Tennessee
Before you decide anything, it helps to see the real tradeoffs side by side:
List with a real estate agent
Works well for move-in-ready homes in good neighborhoods, and can bring the highest sale price on paper. Expect 45–90+ days on the market, commissions around 6%, repair requests after inspection, and the real possibility of a buyer’s financing falling through in week six.
Sell it yourself (FSBO)
Saves on the listing side of the commission, but puts all the marketing, showings, negotiating, and paperwork on you. Most FSBO sellers still end up working with a title company or an attorney once an offer comes in, so the savings are often smaller than expected.
Sell directly for cash to Harris Property Solutions
Skip repairs, showings, and financing contingencies entirely. You get one written offer, sell as-is, and pick the closing date. The tradeoff is honest: our offer is below full retail because we take on the repairs, the carrying costs, and the resale risk ourselves.
What Our Clients Are Saying

There are no realtor commissions, no closing costs on your side, and no repair requirements. Because we pay cash, there’s no lender involved to slow things down, request an appraisal, or back out at the last minute.

How Selling for Cash Works
The process is intentionally simple, and you’re never obligated to move forward at any step
Tell us about your house
Fill out the short form on this site or call us directly. This takes a few minutes, and there’s no cost or obligation to get started.
We evaluate the property and send a cash offer
We look at the property, the local market, and your specific situation, then send a fair, no-obligation cash offer, usually within 24 hours.
You choose your closing date and get paid
If you accept, you pick the closing date that works for you. We close through a local title company, and funds are typically available in as little as seven days, or later if you need more time.
What Happens After You Accept an Offer
A lot of homeowners hesitate not because the offer sounds wrong, but because the process itself is unfamiliar. Once you accept, we open the file with a local Tennessee title company, which runs a title search to confirm ownership and identify anything that needs to be cleared before closing, such as back taxes or an old lien. You don’t need to do anything to prepare the house-no cleaning, no repairs, and no staging for a walkthrough.
On closing day, you sign the paperwork, either in person or remotely if you’re out of state using a mobile notary. The title company disburses the funds, and the house is no longer yours to worry about. Most closings from acceptance to funded sale take one to three weeks, though we can move faster when a deadline, such as a scheduled foreclosure sale, requires it. If an unexpected issue turns up during the title search, such as an unreleased mortgage or an heir who wasn’t accounted for, we work through it alongside the title company rather than walking away from the deal.

Frequently Asked Questions
We get a lot of the same questions – so we answered them all here. Still have questions? Call us anytime.
How do you determine the cash offer for my property?
Yes. We buy houses ranging from move-in ready to seriously distressed, including properties with fire damage, code violations, hoarding conditions, or years of deferred maintenance.
How fast can you close?
We can often close in as little as seven days once we have your property details and clear title, though you’re welcome to choose a later date that works for your timeline.
Are there any fees or commissions?
No. We don’t charge commissions or fees, and we typically cover standard closing costs as well. The number in your offer is the number you walk away with.
Do I have to accept the offer?
Never. Our cash offers are free and completely no-obligation. You’re welcome to review it, compare it against other options, and decide what’s best for you.
What areas of East Tennessee do you serve?
We buy houses across McMinn, Monroe, Bradley, Loudon, Knox, Blount, Hamilton, and Sevier counties. Visit our East Tennessee coverage page to confirm your specific area.
What if my house has liens, code violations, or is vacant?
These are common situations we help homeowners through every day. Reach out, and we’ll walk you through your specific options, including how any liens or violations get handled at closing.
How do you decide how much to offer?
We look at the property’s condition, its location, what comparable houses in the area have sold for, and the cost of any repairs or work the house needs. We’re upfront about how we arrive at every number if you want the breakdown.
Is my information kept private?
Yes. We don’t sell your information or share it with other buyers or investors. You’re speaking directly with the company that will actually purchase your house.
What if my house currently has tenants living in it?
We regularly buy rental properties with tenants still in place. Let us know the lease situation, and we’ll walk you through how that affects the timeline.
