Can I list a tax property before I get the deed in the mail

[Kimi McCarty]

I bought an over the counter tax property in Tennessee. It's my very first property ever. I live in California. I made the offer in April I sent my closing costs and the county informed me at the end of June that it had closed and the deed would be sent to me within 8 weeks. It's only been about 6 weeks but I'm anxious to sell it. So I'm wondering do I need to wait?

I called a title company in Tennessee. They told me that they can't pull the title to see if its in my name until I have a buyer. They gave me  a website to check  and see if the county had recorded the deed. They have not.  I'm thinking they are so slow they probably haven't updated the website.

I strongly suggest you pay the title co. to do a  title search on the property, for other outstanding liens, taxes, etc. and to  tell you what needs to be done to sell the property.  You may, or may not, have clear title.
