Money and choices
Compare what you may keep, not just the sale price
What you keep depends on the written price and the costs tied to your house: repairs, cleanout, selling costs, mortgage payoff, liens, back taxes, your share of current property taxes, and the bills you carry while it is for sale. The calculator lets you change assumptions and compare possible net proceeds.
Cash Offer or EZ Sale: compare the written numbers
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.

Who pays Georgia real-estate transfer tax and closing costs?
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including Georgia real-estate transfer tax. Your mortgage payoff, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate.

Can an executor sell an inherited Calhoun house before probate is finished?
Yes, when the will gives the executor authority to sell or the probate court grants permission. 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. If you need an estate attorney, we can help you find one.

Can I sell a Calhoun rental house while a tenant is living there?
Yes. An ordinary sale does not by 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. Bring the lease and deposit records into the sale discussion.

Can I sell a Calhoun house with an open code violation?
You can ask about selling while a code question is open. A sale does not show whether an order, recorded lien, repair deadline, or occupancy restriction has been satisfied. Georgia local governments enforce construction codes, so check the current record with the government that handles the property. When you sell to us, we're the buyer, so the repairs become our job.

What if my Georgia power-of-sale foreclosure already has a sale date?
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.

Do I need every document before I call?
No. You can call before you have everything figured out. Start with the property address, what you know about its condition and occupancy, and the timing question on your mind. A deed, lease, estate paper, tax notice, lien notice, or court paper may help answer the next question, but you do not need perfect paperwork before calling.

Which Calhoun or Gordon County office should I ask?
The 2023 joint comprehensive plan identifies Calhoun as Gordon County’s county seat. A countywide reference does not establish whether an individual property is inside the city limits. Start with the City of Calhoun for a city-service question or Gordon County for a county-record question, and confirm which government handles the address.
