Selling a house in Nashville: Register of Deeds, the Trustee and Metro's rental registry
In Davidson County the Register of Deeds records the deed. The office is in the Public Square Garage at 300 Deaderick Street and takes recordings weekdays from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. It also runs a free Property Alert that emails an owner when a document is filed under their name.
Property tax and the Trustee
The Property Assessor sets the appraised value, and the Metropolitan Trustee collects. Statements are mailed the first week of October. The Trustee's page says the full tax must be paid by the last day of February to avoid interest, and that partial payments are allowed during the collection period. The Trustee is in the Howard Office Building, 700 President Ronald Reagan Way, Suite 220, open weekdays 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Taxes still unpaid in March move to the Division of Collections, which handles delinquent accounts through the following February. After that the Clerk and Master's office collects them.
Codes, rentals and overgrown lots
Metro's Property Standards Division enforces the property maintenance code from the Metro Office Building at 800 President Ronald Reagan Way. It has 15 inspectors in three teams. Violations are reported through hubNashville or by calling 311. A lien for unpaid vegetation work under Chapter 10.28 of the Metro Code is collected the same way as taxes.
If the house is a rental, the landlord registration rule applies. Owners of residential rentals register with the division for $10, one fee for every unit they own in the county. Skipping it can bring a fine of $50 a week for each dwelling unit. The division also wants a letter when a property changes between rental and owner-occupied, or changes owners or management.
Estates
The Probate Court Clerk handles Davidson County estates from 1 Public Square, Suite 302, open weekdays 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. The court has exclusive jurisdiction in the county over administering estates, including probating wills. A Resource Center in Suite 303 points people to the court's forms.

Real results from Nashville-area homeowners
“Job relocation from Nashville-Davidson-Murfreesboro to Austin with 2 weeks notice. I couldn't list and wait. They had an offer in my hands the next morning and we closed before I started my new job. The creative finance option was something no other buyer even mentioned.”
James E.

“Transferred from Nashville-Davidson-Murfreesboro to Chicago in two weeks. Listed with an agent who got zero showings in 10 days. Called Close With Creative on a Friday, had an offer Monday, closed the following week. Should have called them first.”
Kevin L.
Nashville-Davidson-Murfreesboro, TN
“Needed to sell our Nashville-Davidson-Murfreesboro home in under 30 days for a military PCS order. They understood the urgency, skipped the usual back-and-forth, and got us to closing in 12 days. Highly recommend to any military family.”
Amy C.
Nashville-Davidson-Murfreesboro, TN
“I was 2 months behind on my mortgage and the bank was sending scary letters every week. Close With Creative called me back within 3 hours, explained my options clearly, and we closed in 11 days. They literally saved my house from foreclosure.”
Margaret A.
Johnson City, TN
“My uncle passed and left me her house in Clarksville. It needed everything — structural damage and code violations. I live 1,200 miles away and couldn't deal with contractors. They bought it as-is and I had a check in 11 days. The novation option got me $31K more than the cash offer.”
Linda B.
Clarksville, TN
“Going through a divorce in Chattanooga is expensive enough without paying 6% realtor commissions. Close With Creative gave us a fair cash offer, handled everything through the attorney, and both parties walked away satisfied. Professional and discreet.”

Selling a house in Nashville, TN — common questions
Do you buy houses anywhere in the Nashville area?
Yes. We buy throughout the Nashville-Davidson-Murfreesboro area and across Tennessee, in any condition and any price band. If the property is outside that metro but still in Tennessee, we still buy it.
How fast can I get an offer on my Nashville home?
Within 24 hours of telling us about the property. That covers all four structures, not just a cash number. Cash and wholesale close in 7-14 days and 14-30 days; creative finance and novation take longer because they pay more.
How fast can I sell my house in Tennessee?
Close With Creative provides a competitive cash or creative financing offer within 24 hours of evaluating your Tennessee property. If you accept, we can close in as little as 7 to 14 days, or on whichever date fits your timeline. Tennessee closings can be handled by title companies or attorneys.
Do I need to make repairs before selling my Tennessee home?
No. We buy all Tennessee properties completely as-is. You do not need to clean, paint, repair the roof, fix the foundation, or address code violations. We handle all maintenance and renovation after closing.
Are there any fees or commissions when selling to Close With Creative in Tennessee?
Zero. No agent commissions, no listing fees, no closing costs. Tennessee charges a state transfer tax of $0.37 per $100 of value. We cover all transfer taxes and closing costs. The offer you accept is exactly what you receive at closing.
What types of properties does Close With Creative buy in Tennessee?
We purchase single-family homes, townhouses, condos, duplexes, multi-family properties, mobile homes, vacant land, and commercial properties throughout Tennessee. Any condition — fire damage, water damage, outdated, code violations, or perfectly maintained.
How does Tennessee's foreclosure process work?
Tennessee uses non-judicial foreclosure through power of sale, typically completing in about 60 days. Selling to Close With Creative before foreclosure completes protects your credit and preserves your equity.
What is the difference between a cash offer and creative financing in Tennessee?
A cash offer means we pay the full price at closing using our own funds, typically within 7 to 14 days. Creative financing structures the purchase over time, often resulting in a higher total payout — sometimes 90% to 110% of market value. We present both options along with novation and wholesale paths so Tennessee sellers can choose the best fit.
Can I sell my Tennessee house if I still have a mortgage?
Yes. Most Tennessee homeowners who sell to us still carry a mortgage. At closing, your existing mortgage is paid off from the sale proceeds through the title company or attorney. If you owe more than your home is worth, we may still have creative solutions available.
