Hey, I'm Kenny.
This Is Home.

Born and raised in Bristol, Tennessee, and I’ve lived in Northeast Tennessee my whole life. I started TNT because I genuinely care about this community and the people in it.

Kenny Thacker — Owner, TNT Real Estate Investments, Bristol TN
Our Story

One Guy Who Actually Cares About Sullivan & Washington County

I started TNT Real Estate Investments to help local homeowners sell their houses fast, with no hassle — whether your house needs repairs, you're behind on payments, facing foreclosure, or you've inherited a property you don't know what to do with.

I'm not a corporation, a franchise, or a call center — and there's no team. When you call, you get me. Kenny. I only work in Sullivan and Washington County because this is where I was raised, where I live now, and where I run into people I've bought houses from at the grocery store. I'm not here to lowball anybody and move on to the next market. This is the only market I've got.

And if a straight cash purchase isn't the right fit, I've got a small circle of local investors I work with — people from right here, not a nationwide buyer list — so there's usually a way to make something work.

And I'll be straight with you: buying your house isn't always the best thing for you. Sometimes listing it is. I won't know until I walk it, but when that's the answer I'll tell you so and point you to a good local agent. I don't take a referral fee for that. I'd rather give you an honest answer and have you think well of me than talk you into something.

Our Standard
“If my kids couldn’t live in it, we won’t sell it.”

— Kenny Thacker

Buying the house is only half of it. What happens to it after is the part I actually lose sleep over.

I don’t slap paint over a problem and pass it to the next family. Every house we take on gets brought back properly — the parts you see and the parts you don’t. That’s the rule, and it’s the reason our work takes a little longer than some folks’.

It matters for the street, too. One house nobody has kept up drags a whole neighborhood down with it. Bringing that house back lifts every family on the block.

And it matters for you. If you’re handing over the house your mom lived in for thirty years, you deserve to know what becomes of it. Go look at the work and judge for yourself.

Partnerships

We Work With a Lot of Good People

Agents, cleanout crews, wholesalers, private lenders — if there's a way to help each other out, we're interested. Reach out and let's figure out if there's a fit.

🏡

Real Estate Agents & Brokers

Got a client who can't wait on a traditional listing, needs to sell as-is, or is in a tough spot — foreclosure, divorce, inherited property? Send them our way. We close fast with no repair contingencies and no showings, which means less stress for you and your client. We reward great referrals on properties we sign or purchase, so it's a win all around.

🧹

Home Service & Cleanout Businesses

If you're in the business of cleaning out estates, hauling junk, mowing overgrown lots, clearing brush, or handling any kind of property services — you probably come across neglected and vacant homes before anyone else does. If you refer us to a homeowner and we end up buying the property, we take care of you. It's a simple referral relationship that works well for everyone involved.

📈

Investors & Wholesalers

We actively work with other investors and property wholesalers in the Tri-Cities area to purchase properties. If you have a deal under contract, an off-market opportunity, or want to build an ongoing relationship — let's connect. We're straightforward to work with and move fast when the deal makes sense.

💼

Private Lenders

We're looking to partner with private lenders who want to put their capital to work in real estate. Our goal is to fund more projects, take on more properties, and grow — and the right lending partner is a big part of that. If you're interested in earning a return secured by real estate in Sullivan and Washington County, let's have a conversation.
