Sell your Georgia house for cash, or for a net you lock in first
Get a written as-is cash offer and close with a Georgia attorney on the date you pick. If the house is in good shape and you can wait about two months, compare it with our Retail Buyer Program, where your net is fixed in writing and we sell to a buyer who will live there.

Two ways to sell your Georgia house
Cash offer. We buy the house as it stands: no repairs, no cleaning, no showings. You get the number in writing with the math behind it, and a Georgia closing attorney handles the rest. The earliest closing is about 15 days out; later is fine. How our cash offer works.
Retail Buyer Program. For a Georgia home with equity and only light wear, an investor discount can leave money on the table. Here we agree your net on paper, then market the home to owner-occupant buyers with a licensed agent. Price changes after that come out of our side. Plan on roughly 60 days. How the program works.

What to know about selling in Georgia
How a Georgia sale closes with us
Every Georgia sale we make is closed by a licensed Georgia attorney. That attorney runs the title search, holds the buyer's money in escrow, settles your mortgage and any liens out of the proceeds, and records the new deed. The deed is not handed over until the title checks out and your payout is released.
Georgia real estate transfer tax
Georgia charges $1 for the first $1,000 of the sale price and 10 cents for each additional $100. On a $150,000 sale that works out to $150. It is paid when the deed is recorded, using the PT-61 form.
The Georgia Department of Revenue says the seller is liable for the tax, although the contract often has the buyer pay it.
Inherited homes and county probate courts
Each Georgia county has a probate court that handles wills and estates. Before an inherited house can be sold, the closing attorney will want to see the court papers showing who has the authority to sign. Getting those in hand early is usually what sets the closing date.
Our guide to selling an inherited house covers the practical steps.
Foreclosure in Georgia: no judge, fixed dates
Georgia lets lenders foreclose without going to court, as long as they give proper notice. The lender must advertise the sale in the county's official legal newspaper once a week for the four weeks before the sale.
Sales happen on the first Tuesday of the month (the first Wednesday if Tuesday is a holiday), between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. on the county courthouse steps. Once the ads start, you are usually about a month from the auction. A sale that pays off the loan has to close before that date, so call early.
This is a plain-language summary, not legal or tax advice, and rules change. Check with a local attorney or title professional before you rely on it.

Selling in Georgia: questions
How fast can you close in Georgia?
Fifteen days is about the shortest we can do, and that depends on the attorney's title search coming back clean. Later dates are fine too. Facing a first-Tuesday auction? Put the date in your first message.
Do I have to go to the attorney's office to close?
Not always. Many closings can be signed with a mobile notary or remotely, depending on the closing attorney. We will set it up around you.
