Real Case Study: Vacant Raleigh Rental, Back Taxes, Two Siblings, One Decision

Inherited a vacant property in Raleigh with back taxes piling up? See how one Memphis family sold their mother's house in days and solved two tax problems with one cash sale.


📖 The Situation

A woman reached out to us after her mother passed. The house in Raleigh — not far from Hickory Hill — had been vacant for almost a year. Back taxes had stacked up on two properties at the same time. Shelby County was moving toward a tax sale.

She didn't have months. She had days.


🏠 The Property

  • Location: Memphis, TN 38127 (Raleigh corridor)
  • Situation: Inherited, vacant 3BR, back taxes stacking up
  • Outcome: Cash close, taxes paid at table

✅ The Fast-Track Solution

Spencer walked the property, made a cash offer, and they were at the closing table within a week.

At closing, the delinquent taxes were paid directly from the sale proceeds — she didn't front a dollar. She walked out with cash and used part of it to get current on her second property too.

Two tax problems. One cash sale. Both solved.


💡 Why Skipping the Agent Made Sense

That's what selling a Memphis property without an agent actually looks like when it goes right:

  • No repairs
  • No 90-day listing
  • No commission
The math worked out closer to what she'd have netted after agent fees anyway — except she closed in days, not months.


❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can I sell a house with back taxes in Memphis?
A: Yes. When you sell to a cash buyer, the delinquent taxes are paid directly from the sale proceeds at closing. You don't need cash upfront.

Q: How fast can I close on an inherited property?
A: In many cases, we can close in as little as 7 days. No repairs, no showings, no waiting.

Q: What if I have multiple properties with tax issues?
A: We can help with that too. In this case, one cash sale helped the seller get current on a second property as well.

Q: Do I need to make repairs before selling?
A: No. We buy homes as-is. You don't need to fix anything or clean out the property.
