Straight answers to the questions every homeowner asks us.
How fast can you actually close?
In as little as 14 days from the day you accept our offer — sometimes faster if title work comes back clean. But the date is genuinely your choice: if you need 60 or 90 days to arrange your next move, we'll close on your schedule.
Do I have to make any repairs or clean the house out?
No. We buy houses exactly as they sit — damaged roofs, old kitchens, code violations, even houses full of belongings. Take what you want and leave the rest; we handle everything else.
Are there really no fees or commissions?
Really. We're not agents, so there's no commission. We also pay the typical closing costs. The offer we make is the amount that goes toward you at closing (minus any mortgage payoff or liens on the property).
How do you decide what to offer?
We look at what your house would be worth fully updated, subtract what it will cost us to get it there, and our margin for the risk. Unlike most buyers, we'll show you that math openly so you can judge the offer for yourself.
Is your offer negotiable, and what if I say no?
The offer is free and comes with zero obligation — plenty of people take it to compare against a listing, and we're fine with that. If our number doesn't work, tell us. Sometimes there's room, sometimes there isn't, but you'll always get a straight answer.
Can you buy my house if it has tenants in it?
Yes. We regularly buy occupied rentals, including ones with difficult tenants or evictions in progress. After closing, the lease and the tenants become our responsibility.
I'm behind on payments / in foreclosure. Can you still help?
Yes, and speed matters — in Georgia a foreclosure auction can happen fast. If we close before the sale date, the loan gets paid off and the foreclosure stops. Reach out even if the auction is close; we've closed on tight timelines before.
Is MarKey Home Buyers actually local?
Yes — we're an Atlanta company, owned and run by people who live here. When you call, you talk to an owner, not a national call center or a lead-reselling website.
