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.

Gray is the Jones County seat. The City handles questions about its property-tax bills, while the Jones County Tax Assessor handles assessments. Jones County Planning and Zoning serves both the County and City of Gray and lists building permits, zoning permits, and inspections. Those office roles do not establish a particular property's bill, assessment, permit status, or open requirements.
If the house has an open notice or proposed work, the actual address and current record matter. The County's list of permit and inspection services does not mean a particular home needs a permit or that a sale requires a certificate.

Jones County Environmental Code Enforcement describes countywide solid-waste enforcement and lists abandoned or dilapidated homes among its service areas. An office description does not confirm a notice, deadline, or status for an individual property.
Closing questions
Yes. A Georgia personal representative can sell estate real property before probate closes when the will gives that power or the probate court grants authority under O.C.G.A. §53-8-13. If the will gives no power of sale, the personal representative must ask the probate court for leave. Being an heir or named executor alone is not enough to sign; the will, appointment, court order, and title record determine who may convey.

If you need an estate attorney, we can help you find one.
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. Confirm any postponement rather than relying on a discussion or unsigned agreement.

Georgia's transfer tax is based on the sale price: $1 for the first $1,000 or fraction, then 10 cents for each additional $100 or fraction. The seller is legally liable, although the sales contract can assign payment to the buyer. The deed generally cannot be recorded until the tax is paid. Some statutory exemptions may apply, so the deed filer should check the transaction against the Code.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including Georgia real-estate transfer tax. Mortgage balances, liens, back taxes, and your share of current property taxes are separate.
Georgia Department of Revenue: real-estate transfer tax · Official Code of Georgia, Title 48, Chapter 6
An ordinary sale does not itself end a lease. Georgia's Department of Community Affairs says a new owner is generally subject to the existing lease, and the former owner must transfer the security deposit to the new owner or refund it to the tenant. We include occupancy, access, and the lease terms in the sale comparison.

When you sell to us, we'll give you the written offer and terms before you commit, and we close through a title company. The title company confirms the final closing figures.
