About Hurry Homes — Atlanta's Trusted Cash Home Buyers

We get it — selling a house is supposed to be a fresh start, not another headache. But if your property needs work, or you're dealing with foreclosure, divorce, bad tenants, or an inherited house you never asked for... the traditional route feels impossible. That's exactly why we built Hurry Homes.

We're a local Atlanta team — not some faceless corporation or call center. We buy houses directly from homeowners across Metro Atlanta, and we pay cash. No agents, no commissions, no waiting months for a buyer who may never show up. We've helped families across Fulton, DeKalb, Clayton, Gwinnett, Cobb, Douglas, Henry, Rockdale, Fayette counties walk away from stressful properties with cash in hand and peace of mind.

Whether your house has fire damage, code violations, or just needs more work than you can afford — we don't care. We buy it as-is, and we close on YOUR timeline. We've seen it all, and we're not here to judge. We're here to solve the problem so you can move on.

Why More Atlanta Homeowners Are Selling for Cash

The Metro Atlanta housing market is shifting in ways that make cash sales more attractive than ever. According to the Atlanta REALTORS Association, the median home price in Metro Atlanta reached $411,000 as of late 2025, while single-family homes now sit on the market an average of 55 days before going under contract — up from 34 days the year before. For homeowners dealing with distressed properties, that timeline stretches even longer.

Meanwhile, foreclosure activity in Georgia continues to climb. ATTOM Data Solutions reports that Atlanta had 522 foreclosure starts in March 2025 alone, placing it among the top 10 metro areas nationally. The foreclosure rate in Metro Atlanta stands at approximately 1 in 2,145 homes — roughly double the national average. For homeowners behind on payments, selling for cash before auction is often the smartest financial decision.

Rooted in Atlanta — Built on Trust

Hurry Homes is the real estate acquisitions arm of Marathon Empire Holdings. We live and work in Metro Atlanta. We know the neighborhoods — from the revitalizing corridors of Bankhead and West End, to the family communities of Riverdale and Forest Park, to the growing areas of Lithonia and Stonecrest. When we make you an offer, it's based on real, local market knowledge — not a generic algorithm.

We work with a network of licensed Georgia professionals — real estate attorneys, title companies, and local contractors — to ensure every transaction is smooth, legal, and fair. Our construction partners at KB2 Construction handle all renovations, which means we can accurately assess repair costs and pass that fairness on to you in our offer.

The Atlanta Heirs Property Crisis

An estimated 30,000 or more heirs properties exist in Georgia, according to housing advocacy organizations. Heirs property — where a home is passed down without a will or clear title — disproportionately affects lower-income Black homeowners in Metro Atlanta. Fulton County has been known to retroactively revoke homestead exemptions after a homeowner dies, billing heirs for years of back taxes. Many heirs cannot get loans, cannot access disaster relief, and cannot claim homestead exemptions on the property. This crisis is especially acute in Clayton County and South Fulton, where many homes have been in families for 20 to 40 years.

Hurry Homes works with these families regularly. Our closing attorney has experience navigating Georgia's heirs property laws, including the Uniform Partition of Heirs Property Act (Georgia Code Title 44, Chapter 6, Article 5), which provides protections against forced partition sales. If you've inherited a property and feel stuck, we can walk you through your options — no obligation.
