How foreclosure sales work in Shelby County
Tennessee mortgage foreclosures are usually non-judicial. The substitute trustee advertises the sale in a newspaper in Shelby County three times (T.C.A. 35-5-104) and sells the property at public auction, normally at the courthouse, to the highest bidder.
There is no upset bid period, and the buyer usually takes the property subject to any senior liens. Sales are often postponed or cancelled when the owner pays or a loss-mitigation review is pending, so confirm the date with the trustee shortly before the sale.
Our Tennessee data comes from the published sale lists of substitute-trustee firms. It does not yet include every trustee, so some sales in the county are not listed; more coming.
This is general information, not legal, financial or investment advice. Talk to a Tennessee real-estate attorney before you bid.

How does a Tennessee foreclosure reach a sale?
Most Tennessee mortgage foreclosures are non-judicial sales under a deed of trust. The substitute trustee publishes the notice of sale in a local newspaper three times, the first at least 20 days before the sale, and sends notice to the borrower (T.C.A. 35-5-101 and 35-5-104).
Is there a redemption or upset bid period after a Tennessee foreclosure?
There is no upset bid period. The statutory right of redemption exists by law but is almost always waived in the deed of trust, and the notice of sale states whether it was waived (T.C.A. 66-8-101). Read the notice before you bid.
