Why Homeowners in Christiana Choose EasyOffer

In Christiana, unpaid property taxes accrue interest and penalties that compound every month. When taxes remain delinquent, the county can file suit and seek a court order to sell your property at a tax auction. The opening bid at these auctions is the full delinquent amount plus penalties, interest, attorney fees, and court costs — meaning most properties sell for far below market value. After the sale, you may have a redemption period to reclaim the property by paying the purchase price plus interest, but most homeowners cannot afford this. You can pay the amount owed and dismiss the lawsuit at any time before the sale. Selling to EasyOffer before the auction lets you keep whatever equity remains above the tax debt rather than losing everything.
Christiana is an unincorporated community in southeastern Rutherford County, southeast of Murfreesboro along the US-231 corridor - not an incorporated town, so residents pay county taxes only with no city property tax. Despite its rural character, the housing market is intensely competitive: homes sell in roughly 13 days, often above list price near 101% sale-to-list, as Murfreesboro's growth spills south. That speed favors sellers, so investors must move decisively to win motivated-seller deals here.
We also serve property owners in nearby Murfreesboro, Smyrna, Nolensville, and throughout Tennessee.
Serving Christiana and Surrounding Areas
Christiana grew up in the late 1800s around a railroad line that carried goods and passengers through southeastern Rutherford County; its post office has operated continuously since 1894, and it remains an unincorporated community today.
Neighborhoods We Serve
Valley Farms
A newer single-family subdivision bringing modern construction to the Christiana area, with homes actively built and marketed into 2025-2026; pricing typically ranges from the low $300Ks upward.
Walnut Grove Farms
One of several planned developments dotting Christiana's rural landscape, offering newer homes on larger lots than typical Murfreesboro-area subdivisions.
Rural US-231 corridor
Acreage tracts and scattered farmhouses south of Murfreesboro define much of Christiana, where larger lots and a slower pace remain the norm; some properties qualify for USDA rural financing.

Getting Around Christiana
Christiana is served by U.S. Route 231 and State Route 269, with Interstate 24 reachable through Murfreesboro for the roughly 45-50 mile trip to downtown Nashville; there is no public transit and the area is entirely car-dependent.
Natural Hazard Awareness
Christiana faces Middle Tennessee's tornado and severe-storm risk, which is significant across Rutherford County, plus localized flooding near creeks after heavy rain; it sits far east of the New Madrid Seismic Zone, so earthquake risk is low.

What Our Sellers Say
“My mom passed and I inherited her place in Antioch. It needed a ton of work and I live out of state so I couldn't deal with contractors or showings. They came out, looked at it, and had a number for me the next day. We closed in 9 days. The whole thing was so much easier than I expected.”
Inherited Property
“Honestly I was skeptical at first because I'd heard horror stories about cash buyers lowballing people. But they explained exactly how they came up with the number and it was fair. We were behind on payments and they got everything done in a week. No last-minute changes, no surprises at closing.”
Avoided Foreclosure
“My husband got transferred to Dallas and we had about three weeks to figure out the house. A friend told us about EasyOffer. They gave us a cash offer that same afternoon and worked around our move date. We closed 11 days later without having to do a single showing or open house.”

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I sell my house with unpaid property taxes in TN?
Yes. The delinquent taxes are paid from the sale proceeds at closing. The title company ensures the county is made whole and the lien is released.
How long before the county auctions my property for unpaid taxes?
In Tennessee, the timeline from delinquency to tax sale varies by county. Some counties begin the process after one year of unpaid taxes, while others wait longer. Either way, acting sooner protects more of your equity.
What if the back taxes are more than my house is worth?
In rare cases where tax debt exceeds equity, we can still help. We evaluate the full picture and may be able to negotiate with the county on penalties and interest.
Will I owe capital gains tax if I sell with delinquent property taxes?
Capital gains tax is based on your sale price versus your cost basis, not on whether you had unpaid property taxes. Consult a tax professional for your specific situation.
What happens if a tax lien has already been sold on my property?
Even if a tax lien certificate has been sold to a third-party investor, you can still sell the property. The lien holder is paid off at closing, just like any other encumbrance.
Can I sell if I owe both property taxes and mortgage payments?
Yes. Both the mortgage balance and the delinquent taxes are paid from the sale proceeds at closing. We handle properties with multiple liens regularly.
