My Tennessee Home Solution recently helped a local family deal with an urgent situation. We buy houses in Nashville, Tennessee, for cash, and we work with sellers who need professional and prompt real estate sales.
Charlene Lawrence and her sister, Angel Lawrence, along with their uncle, Darryl Sherrell, inherited the property at 1726 Arthur Avenue in Nashville after Ruby Lawrence’s passing. The comprehensive estate plan set out in Ruby’s last will and testament originally provided for Darryl to live in and maintain the home during his lifetime.
However, Charlene discovered that property taxes had gone unpaid, and the home was scheduled for a Davidson County tax auction. Although she successfully delayed the sale once, a looming January 2026 auction date posed a serious risk to the estate settlement and asset distribution.
What Complicated the Estate Settlement Process
The situation required settling the estate while balancing family relationships, deadlines, and legal requirements. Even though it became apparent that Darryl was willing to join his nieces in facilitating the sale of the property, Charlene and Angel didn’t have the funds to bring the taxes up to date before the impending Davidson County tax sale.
Without an estate planning attorney on board, the family also needed help completing the probate process and necessary paperwork to clear the title and prepare to sell the property once a buyer was located.
My Tennessee Home Solution Worked Promptly To Obtain Authority To Sell the Property
Charlene and Angel found My Tennessee Home Solution after an online search when a different company they had worked with didn’t pan out. That company suddenly lowered its offer without warning, and Charlene decided to find a home buying team that prioritized honesty and clear communication.
On October 8, 2025, Charlene first spoke with Brandon Speer at My Tennessee Home Solution. After discussing the situation with her, he contacted Darryl the following day to discuss the process required to sell the property.
How the Team Coordinated With Care and Precision
Brandon met virtually with Charlene on November 6, 2025. Home Buying Specialist Korbin Hoffmann later met with Darryl in person on November 17, 2025, to review and sign the agreement to sell the property. Charlene and Angel also signed the agreement on November 17, 2025.
When additional questions arose regarding Ruby’s estate, Transaction Coordinator Kalyn Kratzer worked closely with the title company to ensure all requirements were addressed promptly and without delay.
The Timely Sale Protected the Family’s Interests
The team finalized an agreement with the end buyer on November 24, 2025, and the sale closed successfully on December 17. Kalyn provided the family with consistent updates throughout the process.
Charlene later shared a positive review of the sale and estate settlement. She noted that the team listened carefully, stayed accessible, and guided everyone toward a resolution that felt fair and respectful.
