   It pulls the recorded sales nearby. In Tennessee, each sale goes on file with the county register.

3. 3

   It picks the comps and adjusts each one. For market time it uses the FHFA House Price Index for Tennessee, which rose 0.9% in the four quarters to the second quarter of 2026 (how comps are chosen and adjusted).

4. 4

   You get a client-ready PDF. Your name, photo and brokerage go on it as “Prepared by”, every adjustment is shown, and you can swap any comp.

No. Tennessee sale prices are public record. When a deed is recorded, the buyer (or trustee) must state under oath, on the face of the deed and in front of the county register, the actual price or the property's value, whichever is greater. That sworn figure is part of the public deed. The buyer pays the realty transfer tax on it.

Realty transfer tax (recordation tax): "Tennessee imposes a tax of $0.37 per $100 for the privilege of publicly recording documents evidencing all transfers of realty ... This tax is generally based on the greater of consideration paid or the value of the property." Paid by the grantee (Tenn. Code Ann. § 67-4-409(a)).
