From the first conversation to settlement

The sale, step by step

1. Tell us about the house
Start with the Leesburg address, the house's condition, who lives there, access, ownership, and the timing you have in mind. If an estate, mortgage payoff, lien, tax account, tenant, or notice is part of the situation, tell us what you know. You can start before every property question is settled.
2. Talk through the property and choices
We ask practical questions about the house as it stands, including condition, repairs, occupancy, access, and timing. We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. Then we talk through the sale paths that fit the property and what still needs to be checked.
3. Read the written offer and terms
We give written cash offers in 24 hours. You get a written offer and written terms before you commit, and we close through a title company. Read the price, responsibilities, possession, timing, costs, and property-specific conditions before you decide whether to proceed, compare another path, or stop before signing.
4. Check title, authority, and payoffs
The title company reviews the deed, ownership, who can sign, mortgage payoff information, liens, taxes, and the documents needed for closing. Bring any current statements, notices, or estate papers you have. If something is still unknown, start with what you know while the needed records are identified.
5. Review the settlement sheet and close
The settlement sheet shows 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.
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

Compare the Cash Offer and EZ Sale

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.

Leesburg and Lee County details

Check which local office handles the property question

Lee County identifies Leesburg as the county seat and Smithville as a separate city. The county lists separate Leesburg and Smithville city councils for planning and zoning, while its Building Inspection office serves both incorporated and unincorporated areas. The right office can depend on the property's actual location, so confirm the jurisdiction rather than relying on a mailing address alone.

Selling an inherited house in Georgia

A personal representative—the person appointed to administer an estate—may sell estate real property before probate closes when the will gives the representative power to sell or the probate court grants permission. Without sale authority in the will, the 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, any court order, and title record determine who may convey the property. If you need an estate attorney, we can help you find one.

Closing numbers

See how the settlement figures add up

The settlement sheet lays out the sale price, mortgage payoff, liens, taxes, closing costs, and the amount scheduled for disbursement. 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. State law makes the seller legally responsible, though the sale contract can assign payment to the buyer. The deed generally cannot be recorded until the tax is paid, and statutory exemptions may apply, so the person preparing the deed should check whether an exemption fits this sale. See Georgia Department of Revenue transfer-tax information ↗ and the official Georgia Code ↗.

When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs.

Mortgage balances, liens, back taxes, and your share of current property taxes are separate settlement items; Those amounts are separate from the closing costs we pay.

When things get difficult

We keep working through the bumps

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.
