Atlanta & metro Georgia
Sell your house fast in Atlanta.
We buy houses, land and lots directly from owners across metro Atlanta. As-is, off market, on your timeline — and nobody comes to the property before there is a signed agreement.
How it works here
HUSH SELL LLC is an Atlanta company. We are a principal buyer — we buy for our own account — not a brokerage, and we do not represent you in the sale.
There is no showroom to come to and no appointment to make. We work by phone, and the only time anyone goes to a property is after an agreement is signed. Our mailing address is 8735 Dunwoody Place, Ste N, Atlanta, GA 30350 and the number is (470) 470-9616.
- 1You call or text (470) 470-9616. Tell us the address, roughly what condition it is in, what is owed against it, and how soon you want to be finished. A few minutes on the phone.
- 2We work the number and come back to you — usually the same day or the next. Built from what you told us, comparable sales nearby, and what the work will cost. Nobody visits your property to produce it.
- 3If the number works, we sign. A ten business day inspection period follows, during which the property is looked at to confirm it matches what you told us. If it does not, we come back with a revised number and the reason, and you are free to say no.
- 4We close with a Georgia closing attorney in about thirty days, or later if that suits you better. You are paid at closing by wire or certified funds.
No listing, no sign in the yard, no MLS, no open house, no repairs, no cleaning out. You never pay us anything at any stage.
Where we buy
Across the metro and the counties around it — Fulton, DeKalb, Cobb, Gwinnett, Clayton, Cherokee, Douglas, Henry, Rockdale, Fayette, Coweta, Forsyth, Paulding, Newton, Walton, Barrow, Bartow and Hall — and in the rest of the state and the country besides. Atlanta is simply where we are, and the metro is where we know the streets well enough to be quick.
What we buy: single-family houses, townhouses, vacant and inherited properties, tenant-occupied rentals, vacant lots and acreage, and teardowns whose value is really in the dirt. Condition is not a disqualifier — fire, water, mold, foundation, a roof that is gone, a house that has been open to the weather. Describe it accurately and the number holds.
What a Georgia closing looks like
Georgia does a few things differently from the states you may have read about online, and they are worth knowing before you sell to anyone.
- An attorney closes it, not an escrow company. Georgia requires a licensed attorney to conduct a real estate closing. That is a protection rather than a hurdle: a lawyer, not a clerk, is reviewing the deed and disbursing the money. Remote and mail-away closings are routine, so living out of state is not a problem.
- Georgia uses a security deed, not a mortgage or a deed of trust. It behaves like a mortgage in practice, but the paperwork and the language are different, and so is what happens on default.
- Transfer tax is small. The state rate is $1 for the first $1,000 of consideration and 10 cents for each additional $100 — roughly one dollar per thousand. The seller is legally responsible for it, and on our purchases we pay it. The PT-61 declaration is filed electronically with the closing.
- Property taxes are billed by the county and are prorated to the closing date. Whatever is owed comes out of your proceeds, the same as it would in any sale to any buyer.
General information about how transactions work here, not legal or tax advice. Your own attorney or CPA should look at anything you sign, and we will wait while they do.
The situations we buy in
There is no single kind of seller. Most of what we buy comes from people whose circumstances changed and who would rather be done than manage a listing.
- Inherited property. A house two states away, an estate part-way through probate, siblings who want different things. What matters is who has authority to sell.
- Landlords who are finished. Tenants in place, behind on rent, or a unit that has needed work since 2019. Occupied is fine and we do not need it emptied.
- Divorce, relocation, a job that starts in six weeks. A date on the calendar that a listing cannot reliably meet.
- Properties that need more work than the owner wants to face. Fire, water, mold, foundation, a roof that is gone. Condition changes the number, not the answer.
- Back taxes, liens, or a judgment. Those are paid out of proceeds at closing, the same as a mortgage. Tell us early so nothing surprises the closing attorney.
- Vacant or out-of-state. Georgia closings are handled by a closing attorney and remote closings are routine, so you do not have to fly in.
If a foreclosure sale has been scheduled, tell us the date first. We are not foreclosure specialists and we are not a rescue service, but a sale that closes before that date can pay the loan off and put the difference in your pocket instead of leaving it on the courthouse steps. That is not always possible, and we will tell you straight if it is not. Georgia sales happen on the first Tuesday of the month, and Georgia gives no right of redemption once the property is sold — so the date matters more here than in many states. If a bankruptcy attorney or a HUD-approved housing counsellor would serve you better than selling, we will say so, and the Georgia Attorney General publishes free information that costs nothing to read.
When we are the wrong answer
A cash sale trades money for certainty and speed. If your house is in good condition, you are not in a hurry, and you can live with showings and an inspection contingency, a listed sale will usually net you more even after commission. When we think that is true of your property, we say so on the first call, and we receive no referral fee from any agent for sending you to them.
The middle case is the Not So Hush Sale: we agree a higher number with you in writing, list it with a licensed agent above that number, and you stay on title until a retail buyer closes. Sixty to ninety days rather than thirty, and it is a real listing with an agent and showings — that is the trade for the higher number.
