Compare your choices
Ask an agent or plan a seller-managed sale around the house as it stands. Include repair bids, cleanout, preparation, photos, showings, inspection responses, commissions, concessions, utilities, taxes, insurance, mortgage payments, and how long you may carry the property before settlement.
A listing may fit if the house is ready to show and you can take on preparation and waiting time. Compare the likely amount left after costs, not only the asking price.
You can ask for a written cash offer based on the property and the facts you know, without first repairing, cleaning, or clearing it out for a sale to us. Compare the written price and terms with your payoff, liens, taxes, occupancy plan, and the costs of holding the house.
You see the written terms before you commit, and a title company handles closing. The right comparison depends on your house and what matters to you.
We have two ways to buy. A Cash Offer is built for speed, condition, and tough situations — heavy repairs, tight timelines, difficult circumstances. EZ Sale is often the better fit when the house doesn't need major repairs and you want a higher number. Either way, you compare written numbers and you pick what works best for you.

Local property facts
Chatsworth is Murray County's county seat, but the City and County are distinct local governments. Eton is a separate incorporated city. Confirm the parcel's jurisdiction before relying on a city permit record, county inspection contact, or local notice.
Chatsworth's Building & Zoning page lists building permits, inspection records, certificates of occupancy, and zoning verifications as City services. Murray County says its Building Inspection Department serves unincorporated Murray County and the City of Eton. Those different service areas do not establish a blanket inspection or clearance requirement for a sale; ask the office responsible for the property about any existing record or notice.

Chatsworth Code Enforcement responds to City zoning, property-maintenance, building-code, and ordinance complaints. Its guidance says a vacant house inside the City must be maintained as if occupied. Do not extend that City rule to a county parcel; confirm the address and any notice with the responsible local government.

Paperwork, taxes, and deadlines
A Georgia executor may sell estate real property before probate closes when the will grants a power of sale or the probate court grants authority under O.C.G.A. §53-8-13. Without authority in the will, the personal representative must ask the probate court for leave to sell. Being an heir or named executor alone is not enough to sign; the will, appointment, court order, and title record determine who may convey.

Georgia charges $1 for the first $1,000 of sale price or fraction, then 10 cents for each additional $100 or fraction. State law makes the seller legally liable, although the sales contract can assign payment to the buyer. The deed generally cannot be recorded until the tax is paid, and statutory exemptions may apply.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including Georgia real-estate transfer tax. Your mortgage, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate.

For a Georgia power-of-sale foreclosure, the sale is held on the first Tuesday of the month at the county courthouse. Notice must be published once each week for four weeks, and the lender must send the borrower notice at least 30 days before sale. A completed, valid power-of-sale foreclosure has no post-sale redemption period. Check the lender's notice and confirm any postponement rather than relying on a discussion or unsigned agreement.

An ordinary sale does not itself end a lease. Georgia's Department of Community Affairs says a new owner is generally subject to an apartment's existing lease terms. The former owner must transfer the security deposit to the new owner, who becomes responsible for it, or refund it to the tenant. Share the lease, deposit records, access arrangements, and possession expectations as you compare offers.
