From first conversation to settlement
The sale, step by step
Step 1: Tell us about the house
Start with the property address, its condition, who lives there, access, and the timing you are considering. Share what you know about ownership, an estate, a payoff, a lien, or a notice. You can begin before every property question is settled. We buy houses as-is in Calhoun and Gordon County, Georgia. We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us.
Step 2: Talk through the property and your options
We discuss the house as it stands, your timing, access, occupancy, and the sale paths you want to compare. We give written cash offers in 24 hours. You can compare the written offer with listing or another option before deciding.
Step 3: Read the written terms while title work gets underway
You get a written offer and written terms before you commit, and we close through a title company. The title company reviews the deed, ownership and signing authority, mortgage payoffs, liens, taxes, and the documents needed for settlement. Keep any current statements, notices, or estate papers available so the right questions can be addressed.
Step 4: Review the settlement sheet and close
The settlement sheet lays out how the sale money breaks down. We always review the settlement sheet with the seller and walk through how the money breaks down so there is no confusion. We try to do that the day before closing so settlement is smooth; the title company confirms the final numbers. The title company handles the closing papers and confirms the final numbers. You're going to get a fair price and not have to do anything. Just show up at settlement.
Two ways to sell to us
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.

Local details that can affect the steps
Confirm the property location and who can sign
Calhoun is Gordon County's county seat. This page is about the City of Calhoun; a county-area reference does not establish that a particular property is inside city limits. Check the property's actual location before relying on city-specific rules.
For an inherited Georgia house, an 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. If you need an estate attorney, we can help you find one.
The title company checks the deed, signing authority, mortgage payoffs, liens, taxes, and documents needed for closing. Bring the statements or notices you have; a payoff, lien, back tax, or current property-tax share is separate from the closing costs described below.
Closing numbers
Read the settlement sheet and Georgia transfer tax
The settlement sheet shows the sale price, mortgage payoff, liens, taxes, other listed costs, and the amount scheduled for payment. We always review the settlement sheet with the seller and walk through how the money breaks down so there is no confusion. We try to do that the day before closing so settlement is smooth; the title company confirms the final numbers.
Georgia's real-estate 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, and some statutory exemptions may apply.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including Georgia real-estate transfer tax. This does not pay your mortgage, liens, back taxes, or share of current property taxes.
When the process gets difficult
We stay with the process
It's real estate. Sometimes there are bumps in the road. We won't disappear when that happens, and we'll be fighting to get this to the closing table.
What our sellers say
“LISTEN, PROPERTY TAXES GOT TOO HIGH FOR MY FIXED INCOME. SOLD IT TO THEM. WALKED AWAY WITH CASH. GLAD IT'S OVER.”
“Facing foreclosure ... Very stressful time... They handled it professionally and got me out of the debt...”
“no open houses. no realtors tracking dirt in. just a straight cash sale for our house so we could move. Glad it's over.”
