I was born in Bristol and I've lived in Sullivan County my whole life. From Kingsport and Bristol to Blountville and every community in between — if your house is in Sullivan County, I know the area and I'll make you a straight cash offer.
Sullivan County covers a huge stretch of Northeast Tennessee — from the Virginia state line down through Kingsport, west to Bristol, and out into the rural areas most out-of-state investors have never heard of. The county seat is Blountville, and if you’ve got any kind of probate matter, that’s where the courthouse sits.
The major cities are Kingsport and Bristol, but Sullivan County is so much more than that. Communities like Colonial Heights, Bluff City, Piney Flats, Mount Carmel, and Bloomingdale are home to thousands of families — real people with real houses. Those aren’t communities that national buyers pay much attention to. I do.
I’m Kenny Thacker — born in Bristol, raised in Northeast Tennessee, and I’ve been investing in this area for years. I buy houses throughout Sullivan County in any condition. Doesn’t matter if the house needs work, if it’s an inherited property, if you’re behind on taxes, or if you’re just done dealing with it. I can help.
Call me and we’ll have a real conversation about your house and your situation. I’ll give you a straight answer and a fair offer — usually within 24 hours. No pressure, no obligation.
That includes mobile homes on their own land, which are common across the rural end of the county and which most buyers turn down flat. Banks generally won’t write a mortgage on a manufactured home, so the seller is stuck waiting on a cash buyer. That’s me.
Here are some of the situations Sullivan County sellers come to me with. If yours isn’t on the list, call anyway.

Forget the traditional sale. Here’s what selling to me actually looks like.
I don’t sit on things. I’ll look at your property and come back with a real number fast — usually within one business day.
Sell it exactly as it sits. Old roof, outdated kitchen, busted HVAC — none of that is your problem. It becomes mine at closing.
No commissions. No closing costs on your end. No surprise fees. What I offer is what you get, less anything still owed on the house — no deductions from me.
I’m not analyzing your street from a spreadsheet in California. I was born in this region and I know what homes here are worth.
Need to move fast? Once title is clear I can close in about a week. Need 45 days to get your stuff together? No problem. Your timeline, not mine.
No yard signs. No MLS listing. No strangers walking through your home. The whole process stays private — just between you and me.
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.
Give me a call and let’s have a real conversation. If I can help you, I will. If I can’t, I’ll tell you that too. No pressure, ever.
