When buying or selling a house here, the real estate closing agent will typically use a Warranty Deed, Quitclaim Deed or Special Warranty Deed to convey the title of the property to the new owner. For the deed to be legally valid, the document must include the property’s exact legal description, which usually comes from language within the property’s original survey. Since this state was around during the early years of the founding of America, it primarily follows the old English real estate surveying method of using Metes and Bounds to legally describe the property.

If you aren’t paying cash for the home and are instead getting a loan to buy the real estate, then understand that this is primarily a title theory state. This simply means that the raw title of the property will remain in a trust until the lien is ultimately paid off. The most common document that is used here to secure the lender’s interest in the title is called a Deed of Trust.

If for some reason the borrower cannot repay the home loan, then the lender can typically avoid having to go through the court system. They do this by merely starting a non-judicial foreclosure which typically only takes about 90 to 120 days to complete. However, when necessary, the lender may need to instead go to court and start a more lengthy and costly judicial foreclosure. The laws that pertain to the Tenn. foreclosure process are mostly found in TN Statutes in Chapter 21 Part 8 §21-1-803.

However, if you are a landlord that needs to evict a non-paying tenant, then you would need to reference the Tenn. statutes of Title 66, Chapter 28 instead. Whereas if you are looking to become a real estate agent, then you would just deal directly with the Tenn. Real Estate Commission, which oversees all the licensing of the agents and most of the implementation and enforcement of the Tennessee Real Estate Laws. Amongst other things, the main requirements to get a real estate license here would be to be at least 18 years old, complete at least 60 hours of approved TN real estate courses, successfully pass the written state exam, pass certain criminal background checks, be sponsored by a licensed Tenn. real estate broker, and pay the various required licensing fees.
