Dunwoody basics every seller should know
Dunwoody sits in DeKalb County, not Fulton, even though it borders Sandy Springs and is close to GA-400. That matters, because your probate, eviction and foreclosure matters all run through DeKalb County courts in Decatur.
The city's ZIP codes are 30338, 30346 and 30360. Dunwoody became a city on December 1, 2008, but it has been a suburb much longer. Suburban home building there began in the 1960s, so many single-family homes in Dunwoody are now 50 or more years old.
Why homeowners in Dunwoody sell for cash
Every seller has their own reasons. In Dunwoody, a few patterns come up again and again.
The house is from the 1960s or 1970s and has not been redone. Original windows, older electrical panels, aging decks and dated baths add up. Buyers who need a loan often want those items fixed or priced in. Selling as-is to us lets you skip that fight.
A move tied to work. Perimeter Center, which reaches into Dunwoody, is one of metro Atlanta's largest job centers. People take jobs there, and people leave them. When a transfer comes up, a fast and certain closing can help.
A rental that has become a burden. Some owners rent to people who work around Perimeter Center or attend Georgia State University's Perimeter College, which has a campus in Dunwoody. Turnover, repairs and late payments wear on a landlord.
HOA rules and deadlines. Some Dunwoody subdivisions and townhome communities have homeowners associations. Violation notices, fines or dues you can no longer keep up with can push a sale.
Life changes. Divorce, a death in the family, or downsizing after the kids move out can all make the house the wrong fit.
A direct cash sale is not always the best financial move. If your house is in great shape and you have time to wait, an agent may get you a higher price. Look at our listing versus cash sale comparison and pick what fits.
Selling a Dunwoody home with an HOA
If your subdivision or townhome community has an association, a little prep makes closing smoother. Find your covenants, your latest dues statement and any violation letters you have received. The title company will usually ask the association for a statement of what is owed before closing, and any past-due amounts are typically paid from the sale.
Open violations, such as a fence the board wants removed or a roof that needs replacing, do not have to stop a sale to us. We take the home as it is and deal with the association after closing. Just tell us up front so the offer reflects it.
Neighborhoods we buy in Dunwoody
We buy throughout the city. These are some of the areas sellers call us about:
- Dunwoody Village, the historic center of the community, known for its Colonial Williamsburg style dating to the 1970s shopping center.
- Georgetown, at the city's southern edge along I-285, with single-family subdivisions, apartments and its own shopping district.
- Perimeter Center, the office and retail hub around Perimeter Mall, with newer residential buildings around it.
- Winters Chapel, where Dunwoody meets Peachtree Corners, named for the church that has stood there since the 1870s.
- Tilly Mill, the area along Tilly Mill Road that includes Brook Run Park and the Perimeter College campus.
Selling an inherited house in Dunwoody
When a Dunwoody homeowner passes away, the estate is handled by the DeKalb County Probate Court. It is located in the Judicial Tower at 556 North McDonough Street in downtown Decatur. Check the court's website before you go, since some services there are by appointment.
Under Georgia law, the executor or administrator generally needs authority from the probate court before selling estate property. Getting appointed can take some time. We can give you a written offer early so the family can plan, and then close once the estate is ready. Read more about selling an inherited property, and talk with a Georgia probate attorney about the legal steps.
Dunwoody foreclosure: what happens and where
Georgia allows nonjudicial foreclosure, which means many lenders can sell a house without a lawsuit. In DeKalb County, foreclosure sales happen in front of the DeKalb County Courthouse at 556 North McDonough Street in Decatur. They are held on the first Tuesday of the month, between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m.
If you get a foreclosure notice, act quickly. Talk to your loan servicer and a HUD-approved housing counselor about options to keep the home. If selling is the better path, closing before the sale date may let you pay off the loan and walk away with any equity that remains. See our avoiding foreclosure page for more.
Tenant trouble at a Dunwoody rental
Evictions and other civil cases for Dunwoody properties go to the DeKalb County Magistrate Court. Its civil division is on the second floor of the courthouse at 556 North McDonough Street in Decatur.
You do not need an empty house to sell to us. We can buy with tenants in place and take over the lease. Our post on selling a house with tenants in Georgia explains how that works.
Downsizing from a Dunwoody family home
Plenty of Dunwoody owners bought a four-bedroom house to raise kids, and now the kids are grown. The yard, the stairs and the upkeep feel like more than you need. Getting that house market-ready can mean replacing carpet, painting every room and clearing out decades of storage.
Selling as-is lets you skip that list. Pack what you want for your next home, and do not worry about deep cleaning or touch-ups. You can also set the closing date around your move, so you are not paying for two places at once or rushing to get out. If you would rather list and get top dollar, that is a fair choice too. We are happy to give you a cash number either way, so you can compare.
Our process, start to finish
We keep things short and clear. You fill out the form or call, and we ask a few questions about the house. Then we set a time to see it in person. After that, you get a fair written offer with no obligation, and you are free to get other opinions.
If the offer works for you, we close at a local title company on the day you choose, as soon as 7 days out. You pay no commission and no fees to us, we pay all closing costs, and you never have to fix or clean anything.
