Sell Your Murfreesboro House As-Is: Sinkhole Flooding, Tornado Damage, Repairs

In Murfreesboro, flooding doesn't only come from the river. The City lists sinkholes, the West Fork Stones River and Lytle Creek as its major flooding sources. Low ground with little or no outlet can simply fill with rain: in the March 1975 flood, sinkhole flooding damaged 12 homes on Johnson Street, with water nearly 7 feet deep on the first floor. The West Fork has also risen more than 15 feet in under 12 hours in several major floods 2. If water has ever reached your house, you don't need to fix the damage before you sell. Tell us about it on the call.

Wind has left its mark too. On April 10, 2009, an EF-4 tornado with peak winds estimated at 170 mph cut a 23.25-mile path across Rutherford County, injuring 58 people and killing two in and near Murfreesboro 3. A patched roof, cracked drywall or a door that no longer closes squarely is part of a house you can sell as it stands.

Cash Offer or Listing With an Agent in Murfreesboro?

An agent may get more for a well-kept Murfreesboro house than our cash offer, especially if you can wait for the right buyer. The wait has a price: the commission, whatever the buyer's inspection turns up, and the mortgage, insurance and utilities you go on paying. The Rutherford County figures show how many days listings have been taking.

Set the two side by side by what you'd walk away with. The cost example for Murfreesboro estimates a listing's take-home; our written offer goes next to it.

Selling a House in the East Main Street Historic Zone

If your house is in Murfreesboro's East Main Street Historic Zone, building something new such as a garage or fence, adding on, demolishing, moving a structure, or altering or repairing the outside needs a Certificate of Appropriateness from the Historic Zoning Commission before you apply for a building permit. Staff approve some projects right away, and others go to the Commission's monthly meeting. Work done without one is a zoning violation subject to a $50 fine, and each day it continues counts as a separate offense 1.

None of that is about selling the house. If work was done without a certificate, or is waiting on one, tell us on the call.

Selling a Tennessee House in a Hard Spot

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.

For a Murfreesboro house, the sale has to be advertised at least twice in a newspaper in Rutherford County, with the first notice at least 20 days before the sale, and posted online for at least 20 days in a row. The copy mailed to you must go by registered or certified mail on or before the day the first notice runs 4. Tennessee does allow two years to redeem after a sale made without a lawsuit, unless the deed of trust waives the equity of redemption 5, so have an attorney check yours. If a sale is scheduled, talk to a Tennessee real estate attorney before signing anything.

Inherited a houseWho inherits the house, which court handles the estate, and what a small estate covers.

In Rutherford County, under a private act, the General Sessions judges serve as the probate judge and hear all probate matters; once an estate is admitted, the attorney files the papers with the County Clerk. Creditors file their claims with the County Clerk within four months of the first published notice to creditors, and an estate that includes real estate can't be handled under the Small Estates Act 6. Under Tennessee law the house itself usually passes to the heirs or to whoever the will names 7. Tell us whose name is on the deed.

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 8. 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 9. 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 10. Under it, either side can end a month-to-month tenancy with written notice at least 30 days before the rent date 11, and security deposits are kept in an account used only for that purpose 12. 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 13.

Murfreesboro Cash Home Buyers: Common Questions

Prefer to talk it through?

Call (984) 489-8269
How fast can you buy my house in Murfreesboro?

From the day you accept our written offer, a Murfreesboro closing can be as little as 14 days away. The title company's search and your lender's payoff statement usually decide it; the lender has to send that statement within seven business days of a written request 15. An estate or a tenant can add a step, and a later date is fine.

How do you decide your cash offer on a Murfreesboro house?

On a phone call, from what you tell us about the house: its age, the roof, the foundation and any cracks you've watched grow, whether water has collected in the yard or come inside, storm repairs that were or weren't finished, and who lives there now. If any part of the written offer needs explaining, we'll go over it with you.

How much will a cash buyer pay for my Murfreesboro house?

The figure depends on your house: its condition, what it needs and what you share on the call. You'll get it in writing, and the cost example for Murfreesboro gives you a listing's estimated take-home to compare it with.

Will a cash offer be lower than listing my Murfreesboro house?

Generally, yes. Given a few months and a house in good shape, a Murfreesboro listing can sell higher. Weigh both by the money that's yours at the end, after the commission, the repairs and the carrying costs.

Do I have to disclose problems if I sell my Murfreesboro house as-is?

Usually, yes. Tennessee sellers generally give a disclosure statement of the material defects they know about, unless the buyer waives it and accepts an as-is disclaimer instead 16. Either way, a sinkhole on the property that you know about has to be disclosed in writing before you sign a contract 17. In Murfreesboro, tell us about any flooding or settling you've seen.

When are Murfreesboro property taxes due, and can I sell if I am behind?

Usually you can, so tell us on the call. City of Murfreesboro property taxes are due from October 1 through February 28, and interest of 1.5% a month starts on March 1; delinquent taxes are paid through the Rutherford County Chancery Court. Owners 65 and older can apply for tax relief and the tax freeze with both the City and the County 18. Under the standard Tennessee contract, any back taxes are the seller's and are paid from the sale at closing 19.

Do you buy houses near Murfreesboro?

Yes. We also buy houses in Smyrna, La Vergne and Eagleville 20, and in ZIP codes 37167, 37086 and 37060. If you're not sure, call us.
