Atlanta houses we buy
We buy early-1900s bungalows and cottages in West End, Adair Park, Westview, Lakewood Heights and Kirkwood, mid-century ranches across southwest and southeast Atlanta, and houses in East Point, College Park and Decatur. Knob-and-tube wiring, failing sewer lines, termite damage and old roofs are common.
Georgia details that affect a sale
Georgia foreclosures move fast
Georgia foreclosures are usually non-judicial. The lender has to send notice at least 30 days before the sale and advertise it for four weeks, and sales happen on the first Tuesday of the month at the county courthouse. More on selling to avoid foreclosure.
Probate
Atlanta spans Fulton and DeKalb counties, and an estate is opened in the probate court of the county where the owner lived. See selling an inherited house.
Heirs' property
When a house has passed down without probate for a generation or two, title can be split among many heirs. That has to be sorted out before anyone can sell, and we'll work with the title company and your attorney to do it.
Why Atlanta owners sell to us
- Inherited and heirs' property houses
- Pre-foreclosure
- Houses that need full renovation (selling a house as-is)
- Rentals with tenants (selling a house with tenants)
- Back taxes (selling with a tax lien)
How it works
If listing with an agent would net you more, for example because the house is updated and you have time, we'll say so.
Atlanta seller questions
How fast is a Georgia foreclosure?
Usually fast. Most are non-judicial, with sales on the first Tuesday of the month after 30 days' notice and four weeks of advertising.
Can you buy a house that's owned by several heirs?
Yes, once title is cleared. We work with the title company and your attorney to get all the heirs to sign or to clear title another way.
Which areas do you buy in?
Atlanta and nearby East Point, College Park, Decatur and the rest of Fulton and DeKalb counties.
How fast can you close?
When title is clear we can often close in 7 to 14 days through a local closing attorney.
