Sell Your House Fast in Macon, GA. Century-Old Cottage or Fixer-Upper.

We pay the closing costs on a sale to us, except your share of any transfer tax, and the purchase agreement sets this out. Eagle does not charge you an agent commission on a direct sale to us. Your mortgage payoff and any liens, delinquent taxes, HOA or association balances, agreed prorations and other seller obligations are deducted from your proceeds when applicable. The closing professional provides a settlement statement showing the charges and credits before closing. Transfer, deed, conveyance or similar taxes vary by state and locality. For a sale in Macon: about $1.00 per $1,000; by Georgia custom the seller pays, though the contract controls.

Selling a property as-is does not automatically eliminate disclosure obligations under applicable federal, state or local law. Tell us what you know about the roof, plumbing, electrical system, foundation, environmental conditions and any past damage or repairs so we can evaluate the property accurately and address known issues in writing before you sign. Georgia sellers commonly complete a Seller's Property Disclosure Statement, which may apply to your sale. A real estate attorney licensed in Georgia can confirm which disclosures apply.

Often, yes. Delinquent property taxes and many recorded liens can be paid from the sale proceeds at closing, provided there is enough equity and the required payoff or release can be obtained. The title search or other closing review will identify items that must be paid, released or otherwise resolved. A disputed lien, an unavailable payoff or debts exceeding the available proceeds can delay or prevent closing unless the issue is resolved or the creditor agrees to another arrangement. Tell us what you know upfront so the closing professional can investigate it early.

It depends on how title was held and Georgia law. Property held in the deceased owner's name alone may require probate or another estate procedure before anyone has authority to sign a deed. Property held in a trust or with survivorship rights may pass outside probate. A probate or estate attorney licensed in Georgia should confirm who has authority and which procedure applies. We can evaluate the property and make an offer while that is being established, but we cannot close until someone has legal authority to sign.

Eagle may purchase the property itself or, if the purchase agreement permits, assign its contractual rights to another investor or purchasing entity. Any assignment right is stated in the agreement before you sign. The agreement also states the price, closing date or timeline, contingencies and other material terms. The closing is handled by the title company, escrow holder, settlement agent or closing attorney used for the transaction.

A sale may help avoid a foreclosure sale if it closes in time and the proceeds are enough to satisfy the required payoff, or if the lender gives written approval to accept less. In Georgia, a foreclosure generally proceeds by a sale under the mortgage or deed of trust rather than through a court case. We cannot promise to stop or postpone a foreclosure; that depends on the lender or servicer, the trustee or sale process, the timing and whether the transaction closes. Contact us as early as possible and bring every notice you have so we can tell you whether our expected timeline appears workable. A HUD-approved housing counselor or an attorney licensed in Georgia can explain your legal options and deadlines. Our Georgia page explains how the foreclosure process generally works in the state.

Yes, when you own the land the home sits on. We do not buy a mobile home in a park or on a rented lot. If you own both the home and the land in Macon or elsewhere in Bibb County, send the address and we will tell you what we can offer.

We look at the address, the size and condition of the house, and what similar homes nearby have sold for. You get a written offer within one business day of sending the details. You are free to compare it with a listing and to decline it.

It can be, depending on your priorities. A cash offer means no repairs, no showings and a closing date you help choose, and we pay the closing costs except your share of any transfer tax, and your mortgage payoff and debts come out of the sale. A listing may bring a higher price but takes longer and usually means agent commission, so compare both before deciding.

No. We buy houses as they are, including those with worn roofs, old systems or damage. Spending money on repairs before selling is your choice, not a requirement. Tell us what you know about the house and we base the offer on its actual condition.

Georgia closings are generally handled by an attorney, who runs the title search, holds the funds and pays off any mortgage or debts from the sale. You pick the closing date, subject to the closing attorney's schedule, and most of our sales close in 21 to 42 days, or later if you need more time.

Yes. We can work with you by phone and email, and the closing can often be arranged without you travelling to Macon. Ask your closing office what it needs from you. If someone else will make the first call for you, we will want the owner to join the conversation before anything moves forward.

It depends on the house. Selling through a real estate agent usually means commission and repairs, while a sale to us has no commission and we pay the closing costs except your share of any transfer tax, and your mortgage payoff and debts come out of the sale. Compare the amount you would actually keep in each case, not only the headline price.

Yes. We buy rentals with tenants in place. The lease generally passes to the buyer at closing, and what that means depends on the lease terms. Send a copy of the lease if you have it, and we will explain how it fits into the sale.
