Born in Bristol, living in Kingsport, and out in Blountville often enough to know the roads. If you’ve got a house or land out here — any condition — I’ll make you a straight cash offer and close on your schedule.
Blountville was laid off as a town in 1795 and made the county seat, and it’s still the only county seat in Tennessee that was never incorporated as a city. No city hall, no city property tax, no city codes department. Just Sullivan County.
That shows up in the property out here. Bigger lots. Houses set back off the road with an outbuilding or two. Acreage attached to a home that a buyer’s lender doesn’t quite know how to appraise. A well instead of a meter, septic instead of city sewer. Every one of those is a reason a Blountville listing sits longer than the same house would in Kingsport.
The courthouse being here matters too. Estates for this county get opened in Blountville, and the delinquent tax sales happen here. If you’ve ended up responsible for a family property — through probate, through a will, or just because you’re the one who finally answered the phone — you are a long way from the first person to make that call.
Those are the houses I buy. Needs everything, land came with it, the estate isn’t settled yet, taxes are behind. I’ll walk it, run real numbers on it, and get you an offer — usually inside 24 hours. No agent, no listing, no repair list, no cleanout. Take what matters to you and leave the rest.
And there are fewer buyers out here than in Kingsport or Bristol. That works in your favor with me, because I’m not buying on volume — I’m buying to fix it and leave the road looking better than I found it. If my kids couldn’t live in it, we won’t sell it.
I’ll be straight with you: Blountville doesn’t really break down into good areas and bad areas. It’s the county. You’ll find a well-kept place and a rough one within a few hundred yards of each other, and that’s just how it sits out here. The area around Tri-Cities Golf Course is about as nice as it gets, but plenty of the houses I buy are nowhere near it.
That’s exactly why an out-of-state buyer pulling comps off a website gets Blountville wrong so often. There isn’t a clean neighborhood line to price against. You have to know the road.
I buy across 37617 and the rest of Sullivan County — houses, land with a house on it, and singlewides and doublewides on their own land, which are common out this way and which most cash buyers won’t touch. One I finished nearby: 408 Beechnut, on my results page.

Here’s what brings Blountville sellers my way. Sound familiar? Let’s talk.
Less hassle, no fees, real local knowledge. Here’s what makes working with me different.
I don’t drag things out. Call me, tell me about the house, and I’ll have an offer back to you fast — usually within 24 hours.
Whatever condition your Blountville property is in, I’m not scared off. I buy houses that need work — that’s my specialty.
No commissions. No closing fees on your side. The offer I make is the money you get, less anything still owed on the house. Plain and simple.
Blountville doesn’t draw the buyer traffic Kingsport or Bristol does, and most of the ones who do come don’t want to deal with acreage, a well, or a septic system. I do.
Fast close or slow close — your call. I’ve closed in 7 days when title was clean, or I can work around whatever you’ve got going on.
I run an honest business. If I can make it work for you, I will. If I can’t, I’ll be straight with you and try to help you figure out what’s next.
Here’s exactly what happens from your first call to cash in your hands.
Takes five minutes. Tell me about the house and your situation — no judgment, no pressure at all.
I’ll schedule a quick walkthrough at your convenience — or sometimes I can make an offer based on photos alone.
A fair, no-obligation offer in writing. Take it, leave it, or ask questions — totally up to you.
We close at a local title company. You get paid at closing — check or direct deposit, as soon as title clears.
Quick call, no pressure. Tell me about your house and let’s see if I can take it off your hands. I’m usually able to respond same day.

Yes. Extra acreage is one of the main reasons a Blountville property sits on the market, because a lender’s appraisal often struggles with it. I’m paying cash, so there’s no appraisal to satisfy. Tell me what’s there and I’ll price the whole thing together.
Yes, and you probably should. Estates for this county are handled right here at the courthouse in Blountville. Whether you can sell yet depends on where probate stands and who has the authority to sign — that’s a question for an estate attorney, not for me. But I can give you a real number and be ready when the legal side catches up.
No. Unpaid taxes get settled out of the proceeds at closing, the same as any other lien on the property. It’s a common situation and it’s usually one of the easier parts to sort out.
Nothing. No commission, no listing fees, no closing costs on your side. The number I give you is the number you leave with, less any mortgage or liens paid off at closing.
I’m Kenny Thacker. Born in Bristol, working right here in Sullivan County. TNT is me — not a franchise and not a call center. Call (423) 408-2036 and you get me back. If I don’t answer, I’m probably remodeling one of the houses I bought — I call and text every seller back myself, usually the same day.
Fill this out and I'll call you back within a few hours, usually same day. No obligation, no pushy sales calls. Just a real conversation about what I can do for your house in Blountville.
Not ready for a formal offer? Text me a couple of photos of the house at (423) 408-2036 and I’ll give you a rough number. No form, no obligation.
