Nashville has changed fast, and plenty of owners have houses that didn't change with it. An older place in Madison with a foundation problem. A family home in Bordeaux or Whites Creek that's been sitting empty since a parent passed. A rental in Antioch that needs another round of repairs. When you'd rather not list, fix and wait, we buy houses in Nashville directly, for cash.

Situations we help with in Nashville
Nashville specifics
Nashville and Davidson County share one consolidated Metro government, which is why you'll see offices like the Metropolitan Trustee and Metro Codes. A few of them matter if you're dealing with a difficult house:
- Foreclosure. Most Tennessee home foreclosures happen out of court. State law requires the sale to be advertised at least twice in a local newspaper, with the first notice at least 20 days before the sale, and posted online for at least 20 continuous days.
- Probate. Estates are handled by the Seventh Circuit Court, Probate Division, commonly known as the Davidson County Probate Court. It has exclusive jurisdiction over estate administration in the county, and its clerk's office is on Public Square downtown.
- Property taxes. The Office of the Metropolitan Trustee (nashville.gov/departments/trustee) collects real property taxes and delinquent taxes. Tax statements go out each October, and taxes must be paid by the last day of February to avoid interest.
- Codes. The Property Standards Division of the Metro Codes Department handles violations like dilapidated structures, grass and weeds over 12 inches, illegal dumping and inoperable vehicles.
If you've received a notice of sale, call your lender about reinstatement or a repayment plan and consider a HUD-approved housing counselor. If selling makes sense, send us the date and we'll tell you honestly whether there's time.

Questions sellers ask
Who buys houses in Nashville for cash?
Plenty of companies advertise it, so compare carefully. MarKey is an Atlanta-based cash buyer that purchases houses across Nashville and Davidson County as-is, with no fees or commissions. You’ll get a written offer, usually within 24 hours.
How do I sell my house fast in Nashville?
A direct cash sale skips the listing, showings and loan approval. We can close in as little as two weeks when the title is clear, and you choose the date.
Where is probate handled in Davidson County?
Estates in Davidson County go through the Seventh Circuit Court, Probate Division, commonly called the Davidson County Probate Court. Once the estate has someone with authority to sell, we can make an offer and coordinate with the estate’s attorney on closing.
Can I sell my house before the foreclosure sale in Tennessee?
Usually, yes. You own the house until the sale, and a closing beforehand pays off the loan from the proceeds. The first published notice only has to run 20 days before the sale, so reach out as soon as you see one.
Will you buy a Nashville house with Metro Codes violations?
Yes. We buy houses with open codes cases and account for the needed work in our offer, so you don’t have to fix anything first. Fines or liens are typically handled at closing.
