We Buy Houses Stone Mountain

7 to 60 days, we close on your schedule. One of our programs closes in about a week if you need cash now; if you need time to move or clear the house out, we pick a later date with you. A licensed title company handles the closing.

No. Many Stone Mountain homes were built in the 1970s to 1990s and still have original baths, older roofs or aging HVAC. We buy them as they are. You do not repair, clean or stage anything, and you can leave behind what you do not want.

No. There are no commissions and no fees, and we pay the normal closing costs. The price in our written offer is what we pay.

Not always. Probate happens in the county where the person lived; for most Stone Mountain homes that is the DeKalb County Probate Court in Decatur, which handles estate administration. Whether you need it depends on how the house was titled, whether there is a will, and who can sign. We work with the attorney and title company to find out. For one Stone Mountain widow, the attorney confirmed no probate was needed, and she never had to meet a contractor at the house.

Yes. Our team can handle the house from keys to clean-out, so you do not have to come back to manage it. That matters in unincorporated DeKalb, where owners of vacant homes are required to register them with the county and keep them boarded, secured and free of code violations. See how we handled a vacant Stone Mountain house for an owner who had moved away.

Georgia foreclosures are usually non-judicial and move fast. The lender has to send notice at least 30 days before the sale and advertise it once a week for four weeks, and the sale happens on the first Tuesday of the month at the county courthouse (for a DeKalb house, in Decatur). Georgia gives no right to buy the house back after that sale, so selling before the date is how you keep your equity. Call us as soon as the notice arrives. More on facing foreclosure.

Yes. Past-due taxes are paid off from your sale at closing. In DeKalb, the Tax Commissioner's office files a lien on delinquent property, and tax sales are held in front of the DeKalb County Courthouse on the first Tuesday of the month. If a house has already gone to tax sale, Georgia generally gives the owner at least 12 months to redeem it, at the taxes owed plus a 20% premium in the first year, so the sooner you act, the more you keep.
