Skip the 68-Day Wait — Sell Your Union City Home for Cash, As-Is

Georgia is an attorney-at-closing state, which means a licensed Georgia closing attorney - not just a title company - must oversee and conduct the closing. This is standard practice statewide, and it actually works in your favor: the attorney reviews the title, prepares the deed, handles all disbursements, and makes sure the transfer is legally clean. You do not need to hire your own attorney separately. We coordinate directly with the closing attorney, and you simply show up to sign. For more context on how the overall process works, Fannie Mae's guide to the home selling process is a helpful reference.

We start with recent comparable sales in your specific part of Union City - neighborhoods like Heritage Point, Oakley Township, and Princeton Lakes each have their own pricing dynamics. From there, we factor in the home's condition, any repairs or updates needed, and what it will take to bring the property to resale value.

Right now, Union City's median home price is around $243,000 and homes are averaging 68 days on the market - that's a buyer's market where traditional buyers are negotiating down. We account for that reality honestly. We also cover closing costs, including Georgia's real estate transfer tax and recording fees, which saves you money compared to a traditional sale where those costs come out of your proceeds. The offer you see is what you walk away with.

Possibly, depending on how long you have owned the home and your profit on the sale. Georgia does not impose a separate state capital gains tax - capital gains from real estate are taxed at the regular Georgia income tax rate. If you have lived in the home as your primary residence for at least 2 of the last 5 years, federal law excludes up to $250,000 in gains ($500,000 if married filing jointly). Georgia also imposes a real estate transfer tax of $1.00 per $1,000 of the sale price, but we cover that as part of the closing costs. Talk to a CPA about your specific situation - the tax picture depends on your purchase price, improvements, and how long you have held the property.

Yes - we buy houses throughout Union City (zip code 30291), including Heritage Point, Princeton Lakes, Lakeside Preserves, Oakley Township, Ben Hill, Washington Road, Highwood Park, and Deerwood. If your property is in or near Union City in the South Fulton corridor, contact us and we will confirm your address right away. We do not limit ourselves to specific streets or subdivisions.

You generally cannot sell an inherited property until you have legal authority to do so. In Georgia, that means completing probate through the Fulton County Probate Court and obtaining either Letters Testamentary (if there is a will) or Letters of Administration (if there is not). Once you have that documentation, you can convey clear title to a buyer.

We have worked through estate sales in the South Fulton area before, and we are used to waiting on the probate timeline when necessary. If you are still in the middle of the process, reach out now - we can give you a preliminary offer and be ready to close as soon as probate clears.

Georgia uses non-judicial foreclosure, which is one of the fastest in the country. Once a lender publishes the first notice of sale, you typically have approximately 37 days before the foreclosure sale date. That is not much runway. If you are already receiving notices, a cash sale is one of the few options that can close fast enough to stop the process - we can often close in as little as 10 to 14 days. Do not wait until the sale date to act; reach out now so we can look at your timeline and tell you honestly whether a cash sale is still possible.

A direct cash buyer like Eagle Cash Buyers purchases your home with our own funds. We make the decision, we write the check, and we close. There is no middleman.

A wholesaler puts your home under contract and then assigns that contract to another buyer for a fee - meaning you may wait weeks only to find out the deal fell through because the wholesaler could not find a buyer. An iBuyer (like Opendoor or Offerpad) uses an algorithm to price your home, often charges a service fee of 5% or more, and typically requires the home to meet condition standards. If your Union City home needs work, an iBuyer will likely decline or reduce the offer significantly. With us, condition is not a barrier - we buy as-is.

Yes, condition factors into the offer - but it does not disqualify you. We buy Union City homes with deferred maintenance, fire or water damage, outdated systems, and yes, code violations or unpermitted additions. We account for the cost of resolving those issues on our end, which is how we can still make you a fair offer without asking you to fix anything first.

Unpermitted work is common in older South Fulton area homes. We have seen it before. Be upfront about what you know - that helps us give you an accurate offer the first time rather than renegotiating after an inspection.

No. Leave it exactly as it is. You do not need to patch walls, replace appliances, clean carpets, or haul anything to the curb. If there is furniture or belongings you want to leave behind, that is fine too. We handle all of it after closing. This is the as-is process - it means what it says.

Right now, homes in Union City are sitting on the market for an average of 68 days - and that is before accounting for price reductions or buyer negotiations. A traditional listing also comes with agent commissions (typically 5%-6%), staging costs, and the risk that a buyer's financing falls through at the last minute.

With a cash sale, you skip all of that. No repairs, no showings, no agent fees, no waiting. You get a firm offer within 24 hours and can pick a closing date that works for you - often within two weeks. For sellers who need certainty more than the possibility of a higher price after a 68-day market test, a cash offer is the better trade-off.
