Tennessee is a non-judicial foreclosure state. A trustee's sale can complete in roughly 30 to 60 days after the required published notice — one of the fastest processes. Tennessee allows a statutory right of redemption, but it is routinely waived in the deed of trust (and commonly is on commercial loans). Because a lender absorbs carrying cost and risk for that entire period, a cash note sale today often beats carrying the credit through foreclosure.
Tennessee foreclosures are non-judicial under the deed of trust's power of sale, with notice by publication and a trustee's sale. Most commercial deeds of trust waive the statutory redemption right, making the sale final and the process quick.
