Selling land in Tennessee: common questions
Where in Tennessee do you buy land?
Across all of Tennessee, rural or suburban. The ten largest by population are Shelby County, Davidson County, Knox County, Hamilton County, Rutherford County, Williamson County, Montgomery County, Sumner County, Wilson County and Sullivan County, but we buy rural land across the whole state too.
How fast can I sell my land in Tennessee?
Tell us about your land and we’ll send a straightforward written offer, usually within one business day. Once you accept, most sales close in 30 to 45 days, depending on title work.
Who handles the closing?
An independent, licensed title company handles the closing, and you’re paid at closing through the title company.
Do I pay a realtor commission?
No. We buy directly, so there is no realtor commission or listing fee. You can sell the land as-is, with no clearing or cleanup.
Can you buy inherited land or land with back taxes in Tennessee?
Often, yes. We work with the title company on heirs’ property, liens and back taxes, and resolve them when possible as part of the sale.
Is there a state income tax on land sales in Tennessee?
No. Tennessee has no state income tax, so sale proceeds are not subject to Tennessee state tax. Federal capital gains rules still apply depending on your situation — consult a tax advisor for specifics.
Do you buy land near Williamson or Rutherford County?
Yes. We actively purchase land in Middle Tennessee’s highest-growth counties, where demand for land continues to rise.
