Selling a House in Memphis: What to Know
Memphis follows Tennessee’s rules for home sales, and the deed is recorded in Shelby County’s public records when the sale closes.
- In Tennessee the buyer chooses the settlement agent, usually a title company, which handles the closing and the funds. You can still hire your own attorney to prepare the deed or review the closing documents.
- Tennessee’s transfer tax (37 cents per $100 of value) is paid by the buyer, not the seller.
- Inside Memphis city limits you pay City of Memphis property taxes as well as Shelby County taxes. The Shelby County Assessor sets the appraised value and the City Treasury bills and collects the city tax. Any unpaid taxes are paid off from the sale at closing.
- Most Tennessee foreclosures are non-judicial. The trustee advertises the sale in a local newspaper and online, and the first newspaper notice only has to run at least 20 days before the sale, so the timeline can be short. Acting early gives you more options.
- Tennessee sellers give the buyer either a residential property disclosure statement or, if the buyer waives disclosure, a disclaimer statement. Cash buyers who purchase as-is often accept the disclaimer.
More detail on the statewide process is on our Tennessee page. This is general information, not legal or tax advice; the closing company or your attorney confirms what applies to your sale.

When a Cash Sale Makes Sense in Memphis
Listing a Memphis home with an agent can bring a higher price if the house is move-in ready, but it means repairs, showings, waiting on a buyer’s loan and paying a commission at closing. Houses that need major work often don’t qualify for a standard mortgage at all, which shrinks the pool of buyers. A cash buyer trades some of the price for speed and certainty.
Memphis homeowners usually call us when the house needs work, a foreclosure date is coming, they inherited a property or are dealing with probate, they are tired of being a landlord, or they need to move quickly for a job or a divorce. Not sure which route fits? Read how to sell your house fast, which compares a cash sale, a listing and selling by owner.

FAQ
Selling a House Fast in Memphis: Questions
How fast can I sell my house for cash in Memphis?
You usually get an offer within 24 hours. If you accept, you choose the closing date: as little as 7 days once the title work is done, or later if you need time to move.
Do you buy houses in every part of Memphis?
Yes, from Midtown and East Memphis to Whitehaven, Frayser, Raleigh and Hickory Hill, plus the other cities in Shelby County such as Bartlett, Germantown and Collierville. Condition and location don’t rule a house out.
Who pays the transfer tax when I sell in Tennessee?
Tennessee’s transfer tax is paid by the buyer. As the seller you pay off your mortgage, any liens and any unpaid property taxes from the sale proceeds, and you see every number on the closing statement before you sign.
Are there fees or commissions?
No. There is no agent commission and no fee for our service. The offer you accept is what you get at closing, minus any mortgage or liens that must be paid off.
Can I sell my Memphis house if I’m facing foreclosure?
Yes. Most Tennessee foreclosures are non-judicial, and the sale can be held 20 days after the first published notice, so call as early as you can. See our guide to selling a home in foreclosure.
Can I sell a house I inherited in Memphis?
Yes. If the estate is still open, the personal representative named by the probate court usually signs the sale, and the closing company tells you what court papers it needs to see. Read can I sell my inherited property.
Do I need to clean out or repair the house?
No. Buyers purchase as-is, and you can leave behind anything you don’t want to take.
