If your home in Crossville or elsewhere in Cumberland County is headed toward a trustee sale, here is exactly how the process works locally, and the option most homeowners never hear about: selling before the sale to protect the equity that the courthouse auction would erase.

Where a trustee sale happens in Cumberland County
A Tennessee trustee sale is a public auction. In Cumberland County it is held at the front door (Main Street entrance) of the historic Cumberland County Courthouse at 2 North Main Street in Crossville.[1]
Sale location
Cumberland County Courthouse 2 North Main Street, Crossville, TN 38555
The exact date, time, and terms for any specific sale are set in that property's published notice, not by a fixed schedule. Always confirm against the current notice.
Where foreclosure notices are published
Tennessee law requires the sale to be advertised before it happens. In Cumberland County, foreclosure and trustee-sale notices run in Crossville Chronicle.[2] As of a 2025 change in the law, the notice must also be posted online for at least 20 continuous days. If you think a sale may be scheduled on your home, these are where it would appear.
Surplus funds, redemption, and records
If a Cumberland County home sells for more than the debt, the extra (surplus funds) belongs to the junior lienholders and then the former owner. The office that handles disputed surplus and the related records:

Why this matters in Cumberland County
For a Cumberland County homeowner with equity, a trustee sale can erase it for the loan balance in about sixty seconds.
If you have equity and any time before the sale, selling on your own terms through a marketed auction that still beats the deadline usually keeps far more of your money than doing nothing or taking the first cash offer. That is what FALCO helps Cumberland County homeowners do, at no cost to you.
