Cook Capital
Buy | Sell | Invest | Develop
We buy land and property across East Tennessee as-is, and partner with landowners, investors and builders to develop it. Local, direct, and on your timeline.
Sell to Cook Capital
We buy it as it sits.
No repairs, no cleanup, no showings. If you own land or property you'd rather not deal with, call or text and we'll talk it through.
- Vacant land and acreage, any size
- Inherited property still in a late relative's name
- Houses that need work, or that you've moved out of
- Lots, small commercial sites and burnout lots
How it works
Call or text
Tell us where the property is and a little about it. No paperwork to start.
We do the homework
We look at the property and the recent sales around it, so the number is grounded in real comps.
Written offer
You get a number in writing. No obligation, no deadline.
Close locally
We close through a local title company, on the date that works for you.
Inherited land
Got a letter from us about family land?
County records often still show land in the name of a parent or grandparent who has passed. Selling it can feel complicated, especially when family lives out of state. Here is how we handle it.
Every heir is included
Everyone with an ownership interest signs, and everyone is paid their share at closing. We don't make side deals with one family member.
The paperwork is handled
We work with a local title company and title attorney to sort out the heirship paperwork when land is still in a late relative's name.
No one has to travel
Documents can be signed where you live. You don't need to visit, clear, or survey the land.
No pressure
If the answer is no, or not yet, that's fine. You're welcome to get your own advice or list with an agent.
Partner with us

About
Seven years. $50M+ in deals.
Chris Cook has spent more than seven years buying, selling and underwriting real estate across East Tennessee, with over $50 million in transactions. His approach is simple: find the value others miss, buy at the right number, and know the exit before he buys.
He has bought and resold foreclosures as an investor, valued homes for lenders through broker price opinions, built and sold his own company, and underwrites land, residential and commercial deals from Knoxville to the Tri-Cities.
Sellers get a straight number and a clean close. Partners get deals underwritten to make money, not just to get done.
