Selling To Us vs. Listing With A Local GA Agent
The Real estate market in Georgia quickly changed in Fall of 2022 when Interest rates rapidly rose at the fastest rate in US History. We’re still technically a seller’s market in GA, but the market has been “weird” since Fall of 2022. Supply has steadily crept up over the past 4 years to 3.3 months of inventory. Median sale price is only up about ~2% over pre-correction 2022 levels. The days of putting your house on the market and getting 10+ offers 10’s of thousands of dollars over list price ARE OVER. That ship sailed in 2022. It’s smart to look at your options and see what will actually help you best reach your goals with the sale of your house. While you may be able to get a higher “top line” sales price listing with a local agent, that doesn’t always boil down to more money in your pocket or less headache. The chart below has been updated with 2024’s most recent market data straight from FMLS, The leading MLS platform in Georgia. We looked at a rolling 6 months of data. Dive into the details below to compare your options.

Work The Numbers And See Which Way Helps You Get There…
Generally YOU WILL end up Netting more money if you list with an agent, however with that comes with a lot of hassle, time, and uncertainty. You also have to factor what your time is worth… Getting the house ready for sale, Keeping it nice for showings, Negotiating with unrealistic buyers, Inspections, Appraisals… They can all lead to anxiety of not knowing if and when the house will actually sell. An Agent Cannot guarantee they will bring you a buyer that will close, they can only put the property out there for sale, and HOPE the right buyer comes forward.
When you really work the numbers you start to see the real benefits that each way of selling your GA house offers.
Yes, here at SellHouseFastGA we won’t be able to offer you full retail value for your house… but we also offer other benefits that the traditional house sale route can’t offer. We can take some of that uncertainty and hassle out of the transaction.
Like…
From offer to close and cash in your hand in as little as 7 days
You can get rid of the headache of that property fast and avoid paying any more utility payments, tax payments, insurance payments, mortgage payments, you get the drill. If you list your house and wait 90+ days to close… you have to figure in all of the costs of holding that property during the time you have that property listed and are waiting for the property to close.
Don’t worry about fixing anything up or cleaning your house again and again for buyer after buyer
We don’t care how dirty your house is (we’ve seen worse!) or how many repairs are needed (a complete fixer? great! we love projects)... we’d like to make an offer on your house. This saves you time and money that you can keep in your pocket.
Don’t worry about paying those pesky closing fees (we’ve got you covered)
Because we are a full-service professional home buyer here in GA, we make it easy for you. We pay for all of the closing costs. What we offer you is what you get (of course minus any mortgage payoff or other encumbrances on the property). Pretty refreshing eh?

*An inspection contingency lets the buyer have time to do an inspection and back out of the sale or negotiate a new price if there are repairs that need to be done. If you can’t come to an agreement with the buyer, the buyer has the right to back out of the sale. Similar, a financing contingency gives the buyer the wiggle room to back out of the purchase if they can’t obtain a loan or if the home doesn’t appraise for the value that the bank needs to close the loan.
Here at SellHouseFastGA, we don’t use traditional bank financing so you don’t have to worry about our ability to close on a deal.
