Where foreclosure notices are published

In Hawkins County, foreclosure and trustee-sale notices run in The Rogersville Review.[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.

Why this matters in Hawkins County

For a Hawkins 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 Hawkins County homeowners do, at no cost to you.
