How foreclosure works in Jefferson County
Most Tennessee foreclosures happen outside of court through a trustee's sale. Before the sale, a notice must run three times in a newspaper in Jefferson County, and the first notice must appear at least 20 days before the sale date. Sales are usually held at or near the county courthouse in Dandridge. Many notices are also posted at tnpublicnotice.com.
Your options in Jefferson City
- Sell before the sale date. If you have equity, a regular sale can pay off the loan and put the rest in your pocket.
- Short sale. If you owe more than the home is worth, your lender may approve a sale for less than the balance.
- Fast as-is sale. No repairs or showings when time is short. See a cash offer.
- Talk to your lender. Ask about a repayment plan or loan modification. A free HUD-approved counselor can help.
