Jackson's Tornado Years: Selling a House With Wind Damage
Jackson has been hit hard more than once. On the night of May 4, 2003, an F4 tornado struck Jackson and went on into Henderson County, and the National Weather Service's review of that outbreak counted 11 deaths in Madison County 3. On February 5, 2008, an EF-4 touched down at Union University, north of Jackson, around 7 p.m., damaging many buildings, transmission towers and dormitories near the city 4.
If wind, hail or a falling tree damaged the roof, siding or windows of your Jackson house, and some of it is still patched, tarped or boarded up, you can sell it as it is. Tell us what was damaged, when, and what has been repaired since; it's all part of the condition your offer is based on.
Jackson: Listing Price Versus Cash in Hand
A Jackson house in good order, listed with an agent and given time, may well sell for more than our cash offer. What comes off the top before you're paid: the commission, the repairs a buyer's inspector requests, and the mortgage, insurance and utilities you carry until closing. The Madison County figures show how long homes have been on the market.
Put a listing's estimated net from the Jackson cost example next to our written offer. If the listing leaves you more and the timing suits you, list.

Jackson Sellers Under Pressure
If one of these sounds like your situation, here's what Tennessee law generally says about it, in plain terms. For advice on your own situation, talk to a Tennessee attorney.
Facing foreclosureThe notice can run as little as 20 days before the sale. Here are the rules.
Before a Jackson house can be sold at foreclosure, the sale has to be advertised at least twice in a newspaper in the county where it will be held, the first ad at least 20 days ahead, and posted online for 20 days running; a copy must be mailed to you by registered or certified mail by the day of the first ad 5. The notice names the parties, gives the street address and deed reference, and sets the time and place 6. If a date is set, ask a Tennessee real estate attorney about your options before you sign anything.
Inherited a houseWho inherits the house, which court handles the estate, and what a small estate covers.
In Tennessee, a house generally passes at death to the heirs or to the people a will names 7, and the estate goes to the court handling probate in the county where the person lived 8, here Madison County. Tell us whose name is on the deed and whether anyone has been appointed for the estate, and a Tennessee probate attorney can tell you who has to sign.
Behind on paymentsA servicer generally can't start foreclosure until you're more than 120 days behind.
Federal rules generally bar a mortgage servicer from starting foreclosure until you're more than 120 days behind 9. Because a Tennessee sale notice can first appear just 20 days ahead, that window is the time to call your servicer about options, or to sell before a notice ever goes out.
Going through a divorceHow Tennessee divides a house in a divorce, and why selling can make it simpler.
In a Tennessee divorce, the court divides the marital property equitably, without regard to who was at fault, in the proportions it finds just 10. A house is often the biggest piece. Selling it turns it into money that's simpler to divide. Your divorce attorneys can tell you what your order requires before either of you signs a contract.
Selling a rental with tenantsYour tenants don't have to move out first. Bring the lease and the deposit records to the call.
The tenant doesn't have to move out before we make an offer. Tennessee's landlord-tenant act applies in counties with more than 75,000 people at the 2010 census 11. Under it, either side can end a month-to-month tenancy with written notice at least 30 days before the rent date 12, and security deposits are kept in an account used only for that purpose 13. Tell us about the lease, the rent and the deposit on the call.
Moving away or downsizingLine the sale up with your move, and ask about state property tax relief at your next home.
The sale can line up with your move. If you're 65 or older and buying another Tennessee home, the state's tax relief program may pay back part or all of the property tax on your primary residence, within income limits. It isn't an exemption: you still pay the bill, and you apply through the county trustee 14.
Two Tax Bills for a House Inside Jackson City Limits
A house inside Jackson's city limits owes property tax to two offices: the City's Revenue Office, (731) 425-8212, and the Madison County Trustee, (731) 423-6027. A house outside the city deals only with the Trustee. The county's Assessor of Property doesn't send bills or take payments, but both offices mail their tax notices to the owner's name and mailing address on the Assessor's records 1.
When you sell, the year's taxes are divided between you and the buyer as of the closing date, and any back taxes are the seller's to pay 2. So have both notices, the City's and the Trustee's, with you when you call, and say whether either is behind.

Your Jackson Selling Questions
Prefer to talk it through?
Call (984) 489-8269How fast could you close on a Jackson house?
As soon as 14 days after you accept our written offer, if the title is clear and your payoff is ready. A lender has seven business days to send a payoff statement after a written request 16. An open estate, a lease or your own move can make a later date better, and that's fine.
Will I get less for my Jackson house from you than from a listing?
Likely, if the house is in good shape and you can wait for a buyer. The fair test is what you'd keep: the listing price less commission, repairs and months of carrying costs, against our written offer.
The tornado repairs on my Jackson house were done years ago. Do I still have to mention them?
If they're part of the condition you know about, yes. Tennessee's usual route is a disclosure statement listing the material defects you know of; an as-is disclaimer is allowed only when the buyer waives that statement 17. If you aren't sure what counts, ask a Tennessee real estate attorney.
A storm left my Jackson house with a tarp on the roof and a window boarded up. Will you make an offer?
Yes. Tell us what happened and what's still open to the weather, and we'll base the offer on the house as it is. You don't need to finish the repairs or take down the boards before you call.
I rent out a house near one of Jackson's colleges. Do Tennessee's landlord-tenant rules apply?
Tax notices for my late father's Jackson house still go to his address. How do I change that?
Can I pay Madison County taxes in parts before I sell?
Yes. The Trustee accepts partial payments, and bills are due by February 28. After the delinquency date, unpaid balances draw 1.5% interest a month. Payments go to the Trustee's office in the courthouse at 100 East Main Street, by mail, by phone or online 18.
Do you buy houses near Jackson?
Yes. We also buy houses in Three Way and Medon 15, and in ZIP code 38356. If you're not sure, call us.
