A second home you no longer want to maintain
Describe the current condition, utilities and any access limits. You can ask about an offer before arranging cosmetic work or a complete cleanout.
Ready to move on from a Sevierville-area house or second home? Explore an as-is offer without first preparing it for listing photos. Tell us about the property, its contents and any guests or occupants so the terms can address what you actually need.

Identify these separately from the real estate. Discuss existing agreements before promising a handover date; an offer for the house does not automatically include the operating business.
I’m Jason, the owner of Diamond Home Buyers. My professional underwriting team and I review every property we consider buying. We’re based in Tennessee and welcome property inquiries nationwide. Wherever your property is located, you’ll have a clear point of contact and know who you’re working with.
We consider all types of residential property, including single-family homes, townhomes, mobile homes, multifamily properties and apartment buildings, as well as land. Commercial properties generally aren’t our focus. Tell us about the property and its condition—we’ll review the details and let you know whether it’s a fit.
Our published process considers comparable sales, condition, likely repair or cleanup needs, access, occupancy and expected costs. Follow-up questions or a walkthrough may be needed before terms can be evaluated.
Before signing, review the named buyer, funding evidence, any assignment language, inspection conditions and who pays each cost. Do not assume a no-obligation inquiry means every later contract is unconditional.
Compare the proposed price and net proceeds with your other options. If you proceed, the closing professional checks title and required documents; the agreement and those requirements determine timing.
We cover all standard closing costs when we purchase your property. Your agreement will spell out the costs covered so you can review the numbers before signing. Existing mortgage balances, liens and other property obligations are accounted for separately—they are not the same as closing costs. If you choose an MLS listing instead, the brokerage’s listing agreement sets out its fees and costs.
We coordinate visits with someone from our local team and/or contractors we regularly work with to evaluate the property and develop an informed renovation budget. We also partner with agents in the markets we operate in and have small teams in several states. We’ll explain who is coming and arrange access with you, with consideration for anyone living at the property.
Depending on the property, we may buy directly, work with an investment partner, or assign the purchase contract to another buyer. We’ll explain the proposed arrangement and the buyer named in your agreement before you sign.
We also consider subject-to purchases, mortgage assumptions and seller financing. These are different from an all-cash sale and are not available for every property or loan. Terms, lender requirements and professional review matter; do not assume a transaction releases you from an existing mortgage obligation.
If listing is a better fit, we can connect you with our brokerage partner to explore an MLS listing with potentially lower listing fees, depending on the agreement. The brokerage handles the listing. Request the full fee and service breakdown; savings are not guaranteed.
Subject-to purchases and lender-approved assumptions are not the same arrangement. Ask your independent attorney and lender or servicer, as appropriate, to review the structure, ongoing obligations and risks before committing. CFPB information on mortgage assumptions.
For a lived-in house, clarify your preferred move-out date, remaining belongings and access for a review. If a notice or repair estimate is driving the sale, include the actual document.
If the property has reservations or a management agreement, gather those terms before assuming a buyer can take over bookings. Furnishings, guest deposits and operational accounts need their own discussion.
Use the parcel and county information for the exact property. Describe private access, utilities and any separate land included; do not rely on the community name alone.
Describe the work you know about and keep available estimates or reports. Do not start a renovation solely to request a review.
Read the guide →Clarify ownership and authority before anyone commits to sell on behalf of an estate or another owner.
Read the guide →Bring actual notices and recorded references to an appropriate professional. A cash offer does not automatically clear a lien or stop a foreclosure.
Read the guide →Identify what is included, along with known access, utilities, land ownership and available title documents.
Read the guide →Possibly, but list the items and review the agreement. Do not assume furniture, equipment, bookings or a management contract transfer just because the real estate is being sold.
No cancellation is needed just to discuss the property. Share existing commitments and ask the relevant professionals about obligations before making changes or promising vacant possession.
For a vacation or second-home property, make separate lists for the real estate, furniture, equipment, reservations and management obligations. Ask the responsible professionals which agreements can end or transfer and on what terms. A cash buyer's interest in the house is not a promise to acquire a rental business or honor every booking.
Tell us whether the property is vacant, owner-occupied, leased or booked for guests. Coordinate any visit through someone authorized to grant access. Note known unsafe areas and whether utilities are on. The review should work around lawful occupancy rather than treating an intended sale as permission to enter.
Keep the deed, parcel identification, available septic or well information and any relevant notices together. For a multi-parcel or shared-drive property, mark unanswered access and boundary questions before discussing a final agreement. Use the official county contact directory to locate the appropriate recording office.
These resources help locate records or the responsible office. They are not an endorsement of Diamond Home Buyers, and retrieving a record does not establish clear title. For a particular transaction, use qualified professional advice.
