Frequently Asked Questions
Selling to an investor group is a different experience than a traditional listing. We believe in total transparency—no “fine print” and no hidden agendas. Here are the answers to the questions we hear most often from Atlanta homeowners.
Q: Are you listing my house on the MLS or buying it?
A: We are not real estate agents. We don’t want to list your house; we want to be the ones who buy it. We are a professional investment group with our own private capital. This means we skip the months of showings, the “open houses,” and the risk of a retail buyer’s financing falling through at the last minute.
Q: Do I have to wait for probate to be 100% finished before I can sell?
A: No. Under current Georgia Probate Law (updated for 2026), if you have been appointed as the Personal Representative and have your Letters Testamentary or Letters of Administration, you typically have the legal authority to sell the real estate to pay debts or distribute assets. We work directly with your probate attorney to ensure the title is cleared correctly so you can liquidate the property while the rest of the estate is still being settled.
Q: The house is full of old furniture and trash. Do I have to clean it?
A: Absolutely not. This is one of the biggest “relief factors” for our clients. Take the items that matter to you—photos, heirlooms, and personal papers. You can leave the rest: old sofas, broken appliances, trash, and even unwanted vehicles. We handle the entire “clean out” as part of our service. You walk away light; we handle the heavy lifting.
Q: How do you determine the offer price for my house?
A: We use a simple, data-driven formula. We look at:
-
The Location: What are homes in your specific neighborhood (like Marietta, Decatur, or Sandy Springs) selling for today?
-
The “After Repair Value”: What would the house be worth if it were fully renovated to 2026 standards?
-
The Renovation Cost: We subtract the costs our team will spend to fix the roof, update the HVAC, or remediate mold.
-
The “Hassle” Discount: We provide a cash offer that accounts for the fact that you are skipping commissions, closing costs, and months of waiting.
Q: Do you pay “fair” prices?
A: We offer a fair price for a fast, guaranteed sale. While we may offer less than “retail” value, most sellers find that once they subtract the 5.84% agent commission, the 3.1% closing costs, the repairs, and the holding costs of a 4-month listing, the “net” difference is often surprisingly small. You are trading a bit of equity for the speed and certainty of a cash closing.
Q: Are there any fees, commissions, or closing costs?
A: None. This is where you save the most.
-
Zero Commissions: You save the ~5.84% typically paid to agents.
-
We Pay Closing Costs: We cover the attorney fees, transfer taxes, and recording fees (which average about 3% in Georgia).
-
The offer we give you is the amount of the check you receive.
Q: How are you different from a real estate agent or a “Big Tech” iBuyer?
A: Agents list properties and hope someone buys them, which can take 6–12 months. They also charge a commission of 3-6%. We buy houses directly. We don’t want to list your house; we want to buy it. This means you can get cash in your hand in as little as 7 days.
National “iBuyers” use algorithms that often result in “hidden service fees” of 5%–13% at the last minute. We are local. We live in Metro Atlanta. We walk through the house ourselves, we understand local sub-markets, and we don’t change our price once the contract is signed.
Q: Is there any obligation when I submit my info?
A: Zero. You are simply requesting a “Situation Evaluation.” Once we make an offer, the ball is in your court. We have a strict no-pressure policy. We encourage you to talk it over with your family or attorney. If it’s not the right fit for you, we part as friends.
