Longleaf Home Buyers, LLC, co-owned by Rita and Paul Grimes, is a direct cash buyer based in North Augusta, South Carolina, that buys across the Augusta area, with a BBB business start of November 2019. It pairs the largest review base on this list with a written offer formula, a 7-to-14-day close with standard closing costs paid, and a written statement that it does not list homes. The trade-off: a South Carolina headquarters, a “since 2007” claim against a 2019 BBB start, accreditation only since 2025, and no mobile homes. Ask them this before you sign: “Will Longleaf Home Buyers, LLC take title itself, and is the price fixed unless a written inspection finds something new?”

It names all six Georgia property types we track, including storm damage and manufactured homes with or without land, and it writes a 7-day floor and a no-closing-cost policy. The trade-off: a 2023 start, a Tennessee PO box as the only address on its site, and an investor buyers list.

The trade-off: one BBB complaint, offer inputs but no formula, and a typical 30-day close behind the 7-day headline. Ask them this before you sign: “Your Columbus page says most sellers close in 30 days. What closing date will you put in my contract, and is Rapid Fire Home Buyers LLC the buyer of record?”

It names all six Georgia property types we track and puts a 7-to-60-day window with no fees or closing costs in writing. The trade-off: its own terms say it wholesales and may assign, two BBB complaints, a 4.5 average, and no offer method beyond “less than retail”.

Selling a Georgia home for cash means a closing run by a licensed Georgia attorney, a state transfer tax of $1 per $1,000, and, if you are behind on payments, a foreclosure sale that can come within weeks of the notice. Ranked buyers cover Augusta, Savannah, Columbus and metro Atlanta.
How much do cash buyers pay in Georgia?
Two ranked buyers publish a formula. Longleaf Home Buyers subtracts repair costs and holding and transaction costs from after-repair value, and Christian Buys Houses subtracts selling cost, rehab and its profit, with a worked example in which a $300,000 house becomes a $200,000 offer. Home Buyers of Savannah and Rapid Fire name their inputs. Many investors screen deals with the 70% rule, a formula, not a measured offer.
Compare net to net, never a cash price against a listing net. A cash sale saves the commission, but you may still pay the transfer tax, your share of the closing attorney’s fee and the owner’s title policy, depending on your contract.
The purchase price and every deduction from it
State transfer tax: $1 per $1,000 of price ($355 at a $355,000 price); the Department of Revenue says the seller is liable, though contracts often move it to the buyer
The closing attorney’s fee and the owner’s title policy: we found no neutral Georgia figure for either, and who pays is negotiable
The closing date, and what lets the buyer reprice or walk away
How the Georgia market affects a cash sale
Georgia prices are flat while sales fall and supply rises. Each figure below names its source and period.
The statewide median sales price was $355,000 in September 2026, up 1.4% from a year earlier, with 5.2 months of supply, per Georgia REALTORS. The median combines single-family homes, townhomes and condos.
In the same report, homes sold took 62 days on market, against 57 a year earlier, and closed sales fell 9.8% from a year earlier.
The metro Atlanta median was $416,000 in September 2026, up 1.5%, across 11 counties, per Atlanta REALTORS.
All-cash purchases were 25.3% of Atlanta-metro sales from January to April 2026, down 2.6 points from a year earlier, per Realtor.com.
Georgia had 8,433 properties with a foreclosure filing in the first half of 2026, up 52% from a year earlier, per ATTOM.
In the same ATTOM report, Georgia had 8,164 foreclosure starts, the fourth most of any state, and the Macon metro had the fourth highest foreclosure rate among large metros.
What the seller owes before closing
In Georgia much is left to the contract, so the closing attorney’s checklist is where the duties show up.
No state seller disclosure form: Georgia follows “buyer beware”, but a seller who hides a serious defect the buyer could not find can still be sued, even with an “as is” clause
Federal lead paint disclosure for homes built before 1978, including as-is cash sales (EPA)
The state transfer tax, declared on Form PT-61 and paid to the Clerk of Superior Court before the deed is recorded (Department of Revenue)
Usually, a credit for this year’s property taxes up to closing, and any HOA payoff letter the closing attorney requests
Your homestead exemption is tied to you as owner; the buyer files its own, so do not assume your capped value carries over

Do I need a lawyer to sell my house for cash in Georgia?
Yes. The Supreme Court of Georgia held in 2003 that only a licensed Georgia attorney may close a real estate sale or oversee the signing of a deed. That is a court rule, not a statute. The closing attorney is usually chosen by the buyer, and you may hire your own. Some buyers’ sites say a title company closes, so ask any buyer to name the Georgia closing attorney who will oversee the deed signing.
A buyer who wants you to sign a deed at your kitchen table with only a notary is a red flag. We found no Georgia law giving home sellers a cooling-off right: once you sign a purchase contract, its terms are your protection.
Foreclosure in Georgia moves fast
Most Georgia lenders foreclose without going to court. The lender must mail you notice at least 30 days before the sale. The sale is advertised weekly in the county legal newspaper for four weeks and held on the courthouse steps on the first Tuesday of the month, between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m.
Once the sale happens, Georgia law gives you no right to buy the house back, so the time to sell is before that first Tuesday. If the lender wants to collect a shortfall, it must ask a judge to confirm the sale within 30 days and show the house sold for its true market value.
“We buy houses” letters in Georgia
A “we buy houses” letter is a legal solicitation, and Georgia sets what it must say. The Attorney General lists the notice it must carry at the top in capital letters, starting “THIS IS A SOLICITATION.” Since May 2024, a letter that names a price must also say “THIS OFFER MAY OR MAY NOT BE THE FAIR MARKET VALUE OF THE PROPERTY,” and a price below the county assessed value must say so (HB 1292).
A buyer that breaks the rule faces three times the seller’s damages or $600 per violation, whichever is greater, and a misdemeanor. Report a letter missing those warnings to the Attorney General’s Consumer Protection Division at (404) 651-8600.
Direct buyer or wholesaler?
Georgia has no wholesaling statute and no rule requiring a buyer to disclose that it may sell its contract, so your contract is your protection. Ask whether the buyer will close in its own name with its own money, and put the answer in writing.
Longleaf Home Buyers says it does not list homes, and Rapid Fire Home Buyers says it buys with its own funds and never lists on the MLS. Property Problem Solvers’ own terms say it may assign its contract to another buyer, and Cash Out House runs a page for wholesalers. If someone markets your house to other buyers without a license, you can ask the Georgia Real Estate Commission whether that requires one.
Does Opendoor buy houses in Georgia?
Yes, according to its own Atlanta page, which also names Athens, Augusta, Macon and Savannah and says you can close in 21 to 60-plus days. It publishes no fee percentage, and its help center lists mobile and manufactured homes, including those on permanent foundations, as not eligible.
Offerpad lists only an Atlanta market in Georgia. HomeGo has an office in Chamblee and says properties are generally resold simultaneously, as-is, to a non-affiliated entity. Sundae and Express Homebuyers list no Georgia market, and HomeVestors and Joe Homebuyer franchise pages blocked our check.
Property types that change the deal
Heirs property, tax sales and manufactured homes shape what a Georgia cash buyer will pay and how fast it can close.
Inherited homes: you usually need an estate administration, a probate order that no administration is needed, a year’s support order, or a recorded transfer-on-death affidavit before you can sign the deed, and every heir who owns a share usually signs
Transfer-on-death deeds: if a parent left you the house this way, you must record your affidavit within nine months of the death or the house goes back into the estate (HB 413)
Tax sales: you can usually redeem within 12 months by paying what the buyer paid, later taxes and a 20% premium for the first year (DeKalb Tax Commissioner). If the sale brought more than you owed, you can claim the excess from the county yourself; Gwinnett says you do not need to pay anyone to do it.
Manufactured homes: a home is titled like a vehicle unless a Certificate of Permanent Location (Form T-234) was recorded and the title cancelled; if there is still a title, the buyer needs it signed over
Tenants: the lease usually comes with the house, so hand over the deposit and lease at closing. For leases signed or renewed since July 1, 2024, a deposit cannot exceed two months’ rent (Safe at Home Act)
HOA homes: from January 2027, a homeowners association covered by the state Property Owners’ Association Act must register with the state before it can file liens or foreclose (SB 406)
When a cash sale is the wrong call
A cash sale wins when time, condition or certainty matter more than price, and loses when you can wait. In our worked example, a Georgia home worth $355,000 after repairs (the Georgia REALTORS median, September 2026) and needing $40,000 of work (our assumption) nets about $207,800 from a 70%-formula cash offer after about a month, $295,200 from listing as-is at $315,000 after about 3 months, and $291,900 from renovating and selling at $355,000 after about 5 months. Each column pays the state transfer tax and costs of $482 a month (median taxes from the 2024 American Community Survey plus NerdWallet’s February 2026 Georgia insurance sample). The listing paths also pay a 5.74% commission (Clever survey, August 2026, 31 Georgia agents).
The gap between listing as-is and the cash offer, about $87,300, is the price of speed in this example. It leaves out the closing attorney’s fee, the owner’s title policy and recording fees, because we found no neutral Georgia figure for them. The median mixes home types and conditions, and the 70% figure is an investor rule of thumb, not a measured Georgia offer. The calculator above sets the as-is price at 90% of the median and the cash price at 90% of that, so at its default inputs only its repair-and-list figure matches this example.
Cash tends to win for a foreclosure sale date, heirs property, a tax-sale house, a manufactured home on owned land or a tenant you cannot remove. It tends to lose for a move-in-ready house when you can wait a few months.
Deed fraud in Georgia and where to report it
Sign up for FANS, the free statewide alert from Georgia’s court clerks. It emails or texts you when a document is filed under your name or address. It cannot stop a fake deed, but it tells you fast. Since January 2025, anyone filing their own deed must e-file and prove their identity, and since May 2024 you can sue anyone who knowingly records a forged deed on your property for at least $5,000 plus legal fees (HB 1292).
Report deceptive buyers and solicitation-notice violations to the Attorney General’s Consumer Protection Division at (404) 651-8600 or (800) 869-1123 toll-free in Georgia, unlicensed brokerage to the Georgia Real Estate Commission at 404-656-3916, a forged deed to local police and the Clerk of Superior Court, and fraud to the FTC at ReportFraud.ftc.gov.
A “we buy houses” letter without the capitalized solicitation notice, or with a price but no fair-market-value warning
Anyone asking you to sign over your deed to “stop foreclosure” or to get a loan; talk to a HUD-approved housing counselor or a lawyer first
A buyer who wants a deed signed without a Georgia closing attorney
A “cash for your future listing” deal that records a memorandum against your home; the Attorney General’s MV Realty settlement terminated more than 3,300 such memoranda

Common questions
Our methodology
Every ranked company passed two pass/fail gates, then earned up to 100 points across six checks. We rank by score, not size, and publish every company that did not make the list.
Gate 1 (pass/fail): a named legal entity on the company’s site or BBB file
Gate 2 (pass/fail): a physical address on at least two of site, BBB and Google, with no conflicting address
Founding date, 15 points: 15 for a third-party date with no conflicting claim, 7.5 when the company’s claim conflicts with the record, 0 with no third-party date
Reviews, 20 points: Google count of 100+ earns 20, 30 to 99 earns 15, 10 to 29 earns 10, under 10 earns 0
BBB file, 15 points: 15 for A+ and accredited, 10 for A+ not accredited, 5 for Not Rated or a lower letter grade, 0 for no BBB file, minus 2 per complaint in three years
Closing timeline and fees in writing, 15 points: 15 for a day count plus a fee policy, 10 without a day count, 7.5 for only one of the two, 0 for neither
Offer method, 15 points: 15 for a formula or worked example, 8 for named inputs, 3 for “fair offer” only, 0 for nothing
Georgia property types, 20 points: the share of six named on the company’s own pages (foreclosure, inherited or heirs property, tenant-occupied, liens or back taxes, fire, water or storm damage, mobile or manufactured homes)
Ties: the company with fewer unresolved record conflicts ranks higher, then the one with more Google reviews
No company paid to be included or ranked. A company whose own site makes a trust or business-model claim contradicted by a third-party record or its own terms is held until resolved. Google ratings were pulled on the dates shown; deal volumes are company-stated and were not matched to deed records. We did not search Secretary of State records, Real Estate Commission licenses or court records for this update, so “no complaints” means none in the BBB file.
The buyers we checked and did not rank
63 companies and programs did not make the list, most for a reason you can check in two minutes. We state the record conflict, never a motive.
Myers House Buyers (Augusta)Held. Its site says “we don’t list houses”; a job post listed under the Myers House Buyers name describes managing “the home listing process”, and a Realtor directory lists Paul Myers Real Estate, LLC at the same address. It has 887 Google reviews (checked Oct 26, 2026) and would score 96.7.
Georgia Fair OfferHeld. Its site says “We’re BBB accredited”; BBB says it is not accredited. It would score 82.5.
Home Cash Offer ProsHeld. BBB rates it F with alerts for misuse of the BBB name and logo and an accreditation revocation.
Georgia House Buyers, JD Buys Homes, Columbus Property Solutions, We Buy Houses Hotlanta, Better House Buyers, Sunlit Properties, Middle Georgia Cash Homes, Click House Buyers, Uncle Bill Buys HousesPassed both gates but scored 72.2 or less: founding-year conflicts, few Google reviews, no offer method, BBB complaints or a suspended accreditation, or a site we could not read. Georgia House Buyers (72.2) is the best Macon buyer we found and Sunlit Properties (50.5) the best in Athens.
Maximum Cash Home BuyersAddress conflict: BBB lists 945 Church Street Ext NE in Marietta, Google lists the same number on Church Street Ext NW, and its site gives no address. It would score 82.2 once the address is confirmed.
Diamond Equity Investments, Cash House Buyers 4 You, Spanish Moss Home Buyers, HBI Home SolutionsAddress conflict: no two of the company’s site, BBB and Google give the same street address.
Triple Offer Property Buyers, Tossie Buys Houses, VP Buys Homes, Goings Places Home Buyers, Local Key, SOS Home OffersFewer than two of the company’s site, BBB and Google give a street address (SOS Home Offers’ site also blocked our check). Local Key names all six Georgia types and would score 73.
