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.

Cornelia seller questions, answered
Can I sell my Cornelia house as-is?
Yes. USA Home Buyers buys houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us.
How do I compare an offer with what I might keep?
The sale price is not the amount left for you. Compare the written numbers and account for the mortgage payoff, liens, back taxes, your share of current property taxes, and other costs that apply to the sale.
How soon will I get an offer, and when could the sale close?
We give written cash offers in 24 hours. We provide the written offer and terms before you commit, and close through a title company. The 24-hour offer timing is about the offer, not a closing date.
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 I sell if a Georgia mortgage foreclosure is underway?
For a Georgia power-of-sale foreclosure, the sale is held on the first Tuesday of the month at the county courthouse. The lender must send notice at least 30 days before sale, and notice must be published once each week for four weeks. 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.
Can I call before I have every document figured out?
Yes. You can call with the property address and the question on your mind; you do not need every detail sorted out before starting a conversation.
Start with the question you have
You can call before every detail is sorted out. Start with the address, what you know about the house, or a notice or deadline that is on your mind. Call 888-274-5006 or use the form above. We answer 24/7.
Which local office handles the question?
For a City of Cornelia permit or inspection question, start with the City's Building & Zoning office. For Habersham County deed and real-property records, contact the County Clerk of Superior Court at 706-839-0300. City and County offices handle different questions; an address alone does not establish which office handles a particular property issue.
