When you’re buying a home, how can you tell if you got a good deal or not?
Real estate agents might say it’s a good deal…
The seller might say it’s a good deal…
But is there a way that you can run the numbers for yourself?
Well, at Sunrise Properties, we’ve been buying and selling real estate in Knoxville for a long time now… and we’re pretty darn familiar with the market here.
In fact, the success of our business requires that we always run the numbers on properties to make sure that we’re staying profitable.
Want to know how we do it so you can do it, too?
Here’s the gist!
Determine Fair Sales Price — The easiest way to determine the market value of a home is to look at the sales price of other similar properties in the neighborhood that have sold within the last 3 to 6 months. The more recently they’ve sold and the more similar they are (in quality, square footage, location, and number of beds/baths), the more accurate their sales price will be for determining another property’s real value.
Deduct Cost of Repairs, Updates, Etc. — If the property you’re buying needs a lot of repairs or updates, then it’s important to deduct those costs from the fair sales price you came up with.
Consider Agent Commissions — Also consider agent commissions and closing costs. These will make a big difference in whether you get a good deal or not.
Hope that helps!
If you have a house that you want to sell fast, give us a call at 865-686-5338. We can make you a fair cash offer, purchase your home as-is, and close in as little as two weeks!

Due to the challenges of ongoing current events, more people than ever before are now working remotely — from home, at coffee shops, or in co-working spaces.
Maybe YOU — for the first time ever — find yourself working remotely.
And for many people, working remotely sparks a thought: “Well shoot… I can live anywhere I want…”
It’s a daunting thought but it’s also sometimes an exciting thought.
At Sunrise Properties, we’ve been buying and selling real estate in Knoxville for a long time and so, naturally, we love this area.
But it’s not for everyone. 🙂
And so we thought it’d be cool to compile the top 10 cities in the U.S. with the highest quality of life — maybe one of these places will catch your attention!
- Fayetteville, Arkansas - 7.5 Quality Of Life Score
- Austin, Texas - 7.3 Quality Of Life Score
- Minneapolis-St. Paul, Minnesota - 7.1 Quality Of Life Score
- Denver, Colorado - 7 Quality Of Life Score
- Colorado Springs, Colorado - 7 Quality Of Life Score
- Des Moines, Iowa - 7 Quality Of Life Score
- Raleigh, Durham, North Carolina - 6.9 Quality Of Life Score
- San Francisco, California - 6.8 Quality Of Life Score
- Portland, Oregon - 6.7 Quality Of Life Score
- Seattle, Washington - 6.6 Quality Of Life Score
At the very least, it’s something to think about.
And if you decide that you do want to move and you need to sell your house to do so, then give us a call at 865-686-5338 — we can make you a fair cash offer, buy your house as-is, and close in as little as two weeks!

Who pays for damages to a property?
The renter or the homeowner/landlord?
That’s a good question.
We’ve been working in real estate in Knoxville for quite some time and we’ve seen a lot of disputes between renters and landlords about who should pay for damages to a property.
The truth is that it really depends on the situation. Here are some costs that the renter usually isn’t responsible for…
— Property Taxes
— Home Maintenance
— Mortgage Interest
— Home Insurance
— Real Estate & Legal Fees
— Landscaping & Lawn Care
— Homeowners Association Fees
Now there are a few caveats here.
First, home maintenance refers to normal wear and tear on the house — for instance, the water heater stops working and needs replacing or the plumbing starts leaking and causes water damage. The homeowner should pay for those problems.
However, if the renter causes damage to the home directly — for example, from their pets, putting holes in the walls, breaking windows, etc. — then the renter will be expected to pay for those damages.
It’s important to note that renters can get renter’s insurance to cover liability damages — so if the renter is blamed for damages to the property, the policy will help protect them.
Ultimately — whether you’re a landlord or a renter — it’s best to work with people whom you trust and who you know will be honest about paying damages to the home when it’s required.
Hope that helps give you a better understanding of the renter/landlord relationship!
If you’re done being a landlord or if you know anyone who wants to sell their home as-is for cash, give us a call at 865-686-5338. We can make a fair cash offer in 48 hours and close in as little as two weeks!

How do you repair a cracked driveway?
At Sunrise Properties, we’ve been working in real estate for quite some time and we’ve seen our fair share of cracked driveways — we’ve also FIXED our fair share of cracked driveways 😉
So… how do you do it?
Fortunately, repairing a cracked driveway is probably something you can do yourself — it typically doesn’t require any special knowledge or ability.
But it depends on the type of crack(s) you’re dealing with.
Here are some tips…
Narrow Cosmetic Cracks — Small cosmetic cracks sometimes result because the concrete dried too quickly when it was poured. You can fix these small cracks by applying a concrete resurfacing solution.
Cracks ¼ Inch in Width — Cracks up to ¼ inch in width are usually because of shrinkage. These cracks can be filled with a polymer concrete crack sealant.
Cracks & Crumbling — Cracks and crumbling on the edge of the driveway is often caused by heavy vehicles. These can be fixed with quick-setting cement that includes an acrylic fortifier.
Wide, Jagged Cracks — If you notice large cracks with heaving or settling of the driveway, then you might need to do a full slab replacement. In which case, we recommend hiring a professional.
Hope that helps! You can use good ol’ Google to get more detail!

Thinking of remodeling your bathroom?
That might be a good idea!
Doing so can increase the value of your home and make the home easier to sell and more appealing to buyers.
But we don’t recommend remodeling your bathroom only to sell easier and for more money — the average bathroom remodel costs about $20,000 and the average homeowner only recoups 66% of that cost when they sell.
So it’s not really worth it if you’re only looking to increase the value of your home.
It might be worth it, however, if you’re going to live in the home for a while longer before you sell — that way, you can enjoy your new bathroom!
If you do decide to renovate, here are some tips!
Create a Budget — The first thing you should do is create a budget… that way you know how much you’re willing to spend before you dive into the weeds.
Hire a Professional — Definitely hire a professional for your bathroom remodel unless you’re a total expert. It’s an expensive investment and you don’t want it to get messed up.
Choose Durability — When you have the choice between cheap material and durable material, choose durability. It’ll probably be more expensive but it’ll also make your new bathroom last longer. (think marble or granite vs. laminate or formica)
Hope that helps!

Love gardening and wondering if there’s a way to use your green thumb to increase the value of your home?
Well, there might be!
Some buyers on the market today love seeing a well-kept garden when they view a home — it’s not just an amenity of its own, it’s also a sign that the current owners have cared for their property.
But of course, when it comes to selling your home, not all types of gardens are equally appealing to buyers.
So here are some tips!
Trees — Buyers love tall trees. They provide shade, privacy, and a feeling of being in nature. According to the University of Washington, mature trees increase property values by between 3% and 15%!
Tidy Garden — Naturally, your garden should be well-watered, weeded, and as pristine as possible when buyers view your home.
Popping Colors — A garden can be a great way to create visual appeal. Planting red or pink flowers up against the backdrop of well-manicured grass is something that buyers love to see. So don’t be afraid to use colors that “pop” in your garden.
Automatic Sprinklers — Many buyers love seeing a garden, but they don’t have tons of time to maintain it, so having automatic sprinklers in your garden is a HUGE bonus for them. It’ll be a little spendy to install, but it’ll be worth it when you make more money on the sale of your home!
Hope that helps!
If you’d rather sell your house as-is for cash, then give us a call at 865-686-5338. We can make you an offer within 48 hours and close in as little as two weeks. We’ll even pay all closing costs!

Thinking of installing solar panels on your roof to cut your energy bill?
In just 2019, there were 2 million solar panel installations in the U.S., according to PV Magazine.
But is it a good idea to install solar panels on YOUR home in Knoxville?
We’ve worked in real estate for quite some time in Knoxville and over that time, we’ve seen a lot of trends come and go. Solar panels — and the use of renewable energy to power homes — is probably a trend that’s only going to increase in popularity as the technology becomes more efficient and more affordable.
Still, there are some things to consider.
Cost — Solar panels aren’t cheap… and neither is the installation. The average homeowner can expect to spend about $15,000 to $20,000 to get solar panels installed.
Sun Exposure — Your location, the angle of your roof, and even your roof material will all have an impact on the efficiency of your solar panels. Go to solarreviews.com/solar-calculator to enter your address and get a better idea of how many solar panels you need and how much you stand to save on your electric bill.
Consider Your Electric Bill — Solar panels don’t pay for themselves overnight. Instead, they save you money on your electric bill every month, slowly recouping the initial investment. So look at your electric bill and think about how long you want to live in your house. Solar panels are a long-term investment, not a short-term one.
Hope that helps!

Having to choose between paying for your kid’s college and home repairs?
It seems that there are more places in the budget for money to go than there is money most days, doesn’t it? Sometimes it’s hard to choose because everything is important – we understand! Especially when it comes to a college education.
Currently, the average cost of a 4-year degree ranges from $103,000 - $215,000, per educationdata.org. That’s a significant investment, usually worthwhile, but still it might put you in a position to prioritize where your paycheck needs to go.
If you find yourself coming up short on the home repair side, give us a call – 865-686-5338. Some repairs just can’t wait and have a way of creating a domino effect, going from bad to worse. We buy homes for cash in Knoxville and can close quickly to take the pressure off when it comes to home maintenance so you can focus on your kid’s educational needs.
If you’re dealing with more budget demands than cash, here are a few thoughts to help with planning for college expenses…
Consider A Local State Or Community College – When it comes to saving on tuition and living expenses, it will help save some money if you look at a local state or community school with lower tuition, and where your student could still live at home to save a lot of money on expenses. It’s not always a teen’s first choice to stay local, but it will definitely save money.
Apply for All The Scholarships – Sure, it can become another part-time job to chase down scholarships, but there is a lot of free money out there if you look hard enough. Apply for everything you can find and then look and apply some more. Many students have paid for tuition and expenses this way. A great resource for this is scholarships.com.
Consider an On-Campus Job Opportunity – On-campus jobs not only help provide an income for students, but it’s also a great way to get immersed in college life, make friends, and learn about other happenings on campus. If you have a student who is good at time management and is disciplined enough to get their work hours in, as well as study hours and classes, working their way through college is another great option.
Hope these ideas help!

Unhappy with how much your real estate agent’s commission is?
Good news!
You can ALWAYS negotiate that number.
(If they tell you that it’s non-negotiable, it’s probably a good idea to find a different real estate agent to work with.)
At Sunrise Properties, we’ve been buying and selling real estate for quite some time in Knoxville... and so we’re quite familiar with this process.
In fact, here are things you can use as leverage to negotiate with your agent!
Home Desirability — If your home is in a very desirable neighborhood and/or if it’s in the ideal price-point for buyers, then it’ll probably sell fast. And that means you might be able to negotiate a lower commission since the agent’s job is going to be easy.
Price Point — The more money that your house is worth, the more that the real estate agent stands to make, even if they have a slightly lower commission. So if your home is quite high-value, then it’s worth asking the agent if they can take a slightly lower commission.
Time Of Year — When you sell your home also makes a difference. If you sell when homes sell easily (summer), then you can probably negotiate a better commission. If you sell when homes don’t sell easily (winter), then you don’t really have leverage here.
Hope that helps! And if you’d rather sell your house as-is fast for a fair cash price, give us a call at 865-686-5338! We can close in as little as two weeks and we’ll pay all closing costs!

Selling your home in Knoxville?
Naturally, you want to get as much money as possible for your property!
But real estate agents know that… and some will take advantage of that by simply telling you that they’ll be able to sell your house for more than other agents — and they’ll give you a listing price that’s too high.
At first, that might seem like a good thing.
You’ll get more money, right?
Well, not exactly.
As The Balance writes, “A seller who chooses an agent based on which estimate is highest without considering other factors is the ultimate loser. Yet almost every seller operates in this manner. It's a shame because so few agents take the time to educate sellers that other factors such as marketing plans and the agent's negotiation abilities are far more important than the estimate of value.”
Overpricing a home on the MLS will almost always mean it takes longer (sometimes 6 months to a year) for the home to sell… and your agent will probably recommend reducing the price after a few months anyway if it hasn’t sold.
So it’s really just a lose, lose.
Ideally, choose an agent based on their negotiation abilities, their level of honesty, and their marketing savvy.
And if you’re wondering about the true value of your home, then checking out your Zestimate is a good first step — run that number by your agent and see what they have to say!
Happy selling!
Oh — and if you want to sell your house fast for cash, give us a call at 865-686-5338. We can close in as little as two weeks, buy as-is, and we’ll pay all closing costs!
