Your buying situation
Tell us your budget, the space you need and where you travel for work or regular errands. Bring a listing you like, or start with your questions.
Discuss which features you need, which you could compromise on and what you want to know before touring.
Photos can help you narrow the list. They can't answer every question about the layout, condition, or daily drive.
Tell us when you can visit and which homes interest you. Ask how remote touring could work for your search, which details can be checked remotely, and which need an in-person visit or inspection.
See our relocation helpTell us when you hope to move and whether you need the money from your sale to buy your next home. Discuss where you could stay if you need to move out before the next home is ready.
Talk with us about the sale and purchase dates, and ask your lender what you would need to buy before you sell.

Check each address
Whether you're looking in Farragut, Hardin Valley, West Knoxville, Lenoir City or elsewhere around the Knoxville area, check the routes, school assignment, utilities, fire service and tax jurisdiction for each home.
Which trips matter—work in Knoxville, Oak Ridge or Maryville, regular appointments, or everyday errands? Try the routes at the times you'd normally drive them instead of judging the home by mileage alone. TDOT SmartWay can help you check highway traffic and construction.
For a Knox County address, use the school-zone search linked by Knox County Schools. For an address outside Knox County, confirm with the relevant school district. A neighborhood name isn't a school assignment.
Farragut's new-resident page lists separate utility providers and subscription fire protection. Confirm which providers serve the home and ask about current charges. For each home, confirm public sewer versus septic and public water versus a well. Where applicable, ask for available septic or well records and discuss any inspection questions with the appropriate professional.
Look beyond bedroom count. Consider stairs, driveway slope, storage, maintenance and how the rooms connect. Where present, ask your inspector about drainage concerns and retaining walls. If the home has a homeowners association (HOA), ask for its rules and fees. Bring questions about the home's condition to your inspector.
Check the parcel's city and county, not just its mailing address. Property taxes and public services can differ across jurisdiction boundaries. Verify the current tax bills and jurisdiction for the address with the relevant city and county offices.

Meet the KnoxFox teamThe buying process
Talk with an agent about the homes you want to see and when you hope to move. Before touring, discuss how the agent would represent you and work with you. Take financing questions to your lender.
When you find a home, discuss recent sales of similar homes, your offer price and the proposed closing date with your agent. Ask your agent which contract terms and deadlines you would need to track before closing.
Once you're under contract, confirm contract deadlines with your agent, inspection timing with your inspector and financing deadlines with your lender. Check the closing arrangements and when you can move in.
