Worse, most insurance companies charge higher premiums or reduce coverage for homes that have been vacant more than 30 to 60 days.
Brentwood is the most affluent market in the Nashville metro, with a ZHVI near $1.4M and a median home value above $1M, defined by large-lot estates, gated golf communities, and top-ranked Williamson County schools. Homes move quickly - around 43 days on market - with sale-to-list near 96.6%, so most sellers hold strong leverage. At these price points, cash buyers serve a narrower niche: owners of dated or estate-sale properties, or sellers needing a fast, private, as-is transaction without a prolonged luxury listing.
We also serve property owners in nearby Brentwood Estates, Forest Hills, Nolensville, and throughout Tennessee.

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.”

What Tennessee Sellers Should Know Before a Cash Sale
Tennessee's transaction costs are low compared with most states. The state recordation transfer tax is $0.37 per $100 of the sale price or property value (about 0.37%), under T.C.A. 67-4-409 — and under the statute it is paid by the grantee (the buyer) — the buyer typically pays it, not the seller. There is no separate state or local documentary transfer tax on top of that. In a direct cash sale, sellers commonly pay no agent commission at all, which is where the largest traditional cost (often 5-6%) disappears.
The Tennessee Residential Property Disclosure Act (T.C.A. 66-5-201 and following) requires most home sellers to give buyers a written condition disclosure. But the law has meaningful exceptions: T.C.A. 66-5-209 exempts categories such as court-ordered transfers, foreclosure-related transfers, and transfers by estate fiduciaries, and the Act also lets a seller provide a disclaimer instead of a disclosure when the buyer agrees — the classic as-is sale. Experienced investors buy as-is routinely and expect problems, so a Tennessee seller with a house that would scare retail buyers does not have to fix it or paper over it. Honesty still matters: intentionally concealing a known defect can create liability regardless of the form used.
Taxes on your proceeds are simpler in Tennessee than almost anywhere: there is no state income tax, so the state takes nothing from your gain. Federal capital gains rules still apply, but if the home was your primary residence for at least two of the last five years, you can typically exclude up to $250,000 of gain ($500,000 for a married couple) from federal tax. Investment properties follow different rules, including depreciation recapture — worth a conversation with a tax professional before closing.
One caution about the cash-buyer market: Tennessee permits real estate wholesaling — where an operator puts your house under contract and then assigns that contract to someone else — provided proper disclosures are made. A wholesaler's offer is only as solid as the end buyer they can find, and deals can collapse late. Before signing, ask any buyer directly: Are you purchasing this property yourself, and can you show proof of funds? EasyOffer makes offers as a direct buyer. Whoever you sell to, verify the earnest money is real, the closing date is in writing, and the contract has no escape clauses you do not understand — a real estate attorney can review a contract for a modest flat fee.
Who pays the transfer tax when selling a house in Tennessee?
Tennessee's recordation transfer tax is $0.37 per $100 of the price or value (about 0.37%), and by custom the buyer typically pays it when the deed is recorded. Sellers in a direct cash sale often pay little in transaction costs beyond any mortgage payoff and prorated taxes.
Can I sell my Tennessee house as-is without a disclosure form?
In many cases, yes. The Residential Property Disclosure Act allows a disclaimer in place of a full disclosure when the buyer agrees, and T.C.A. 66-5-209 exempts several transfer types entirely, such as court-ordered, foreclosure-related, and estate fiduciary transfers. Investor buyers routinely accept as-is sales. Deliberately hiding a known defect can still create liability, so be straightforward.
Will Tennessee tax the money I make selling my house?
No. Tennessee has no state income tax, so the state takes nothing from your sale proceeds. Only federal capital gains tax can apply, and the primary-residence exclusion (up to $250,000 single / $500,000 married, if you meet the two-of-five-year ownership and use tests) wipes out the federal tax for most homeowners. Check investment-property situations with a tax professional.
How do I know a cash buyer is legitimate?
Ask three things: Are you buying the property yourself or assigning the contract? Can you show proof of funds? What is your earnest money and closing date, in writing? Tennessee allows contract wholesaling with proper disclosure, so it is fair to ask exactly who will be at the closing table. A direct buyer with verifiable funds and a firm date is the lower-risk option.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a vacant house cost me each month in Brentwood?
Between property taxes, insurance, utilities, and basic maintenance, most vacant homes in Brentwood cost owners several hundred dollars per month or more — all while generating zero income.
Can I sell a vacant house that needs repairs?
Yes. We buy vacant homes in any condition. Deferred maintenance, vandalism damage, weather deterioration — none of it matters. We buy as-is.
What if my vacant house has been broken into or vandalized?
We buy vandalized properties regularly. The damage affects our offer price but not our willingness to buy. You do not need to repair anything before selling.
Does my insurance still cover a vacant property in TN?
Most standard homeowner policies reduce or exclude coverage after a property has been vacant for 30 to 60 days. This means you may be carrying a liability with limited protection. Selling eliminates that risk entirely.
I live out of state — can I sell a vacant Brentwood house remotely?
Yes. Many of our sellers live in a different state. We coordinate everything remotely, including inspections, paperwork, and closing. You can sign documents via remote notarization.
What if the vacant house still has a mortgage?
The mortgage is paid off from the sale proceeds at closing, just like any other sale. Even if the property has been vacant, the sale process is the same.
