Even if you owe almost what your home is worth, you may still be able to sell without paying out of pocket. If you’re a Knoxville homeowner struggling to sell because you don’t have enough equity — you’re not alone. Many East Tennessee owners feel “stuck,” worried they’ll bring cash to closing or risk foreclosure. (See the HUD guide on avoiding foreclosure for general options.)
At Tact Prudence, LLC, we buy houses in any condition or equity situation and can present a fast, fair cash offer so you can move forward without stress. To protect yourself from predatory offers, review the FTC’s advice on home-equity and foreclosure scams, and if you’re double-checking value or ownership details, the Knox County Property Assessor site is a useful local reference.

What Does “No Equity” Mean for Homeowners?
Equity is your home’s current market value minus what you owe. When costs and commissions are factored in, thin equity can turn into a net loss at sale. (For a primer on equity and pricing dynamics, the National Association of Realtors has accessible homeowner resources.)
Example:
If your Knoxville home is worth $250,000 and you owe $248,000, typical selling costs could push you underwater. Rather than list for months, we can purchase directly for cash and close on your schedule.
That’s where we step in. Instead of waiting months on the market, we can buy your home directly for cash, often closing in as little as 7 days.
