What Sellers Say About Us
★★★★★
Jason was absolutely the best man for this job!!! After my father passed I was left to pick up pieces and help my elderly mother get it together. In the process I found out their house was in a less than livable state as the AC was not working and they had about 35+ years of collecting stuff and layer upon layers of dust! This was definitely not going to be an easy task but Jason took it and worked miracles with getting it sold and held up every promise that he made!!! Very rare you find anyone with the work ethic, determination and morals that he has!

Jared was great to work with and really helped us out. The tenants were leaving and did not maintain the house. They bought it as-is and even closed before the tenant moved out. Thank you so much and glad we gave you guys a call!

Southeast Homebuyers Is a top-tier company to work with. My mother-in-law recently used them to sell her home, the process was so simple. I have to give a shout out to Michael “Mike”. As he helped explain everything in a way that we could understand and he was on top of everything. Gave us updates as things progressed. The law office that they use was so helpful as well. If you’re selling a home, this is the place that you want to use if you want an easy and stress-free Process.

Why Hall County Sellers Choose Southeast Homebuyers
We started Southeast Homebuyers in 2019 to make selling a problem house less stressful. The two founders, Carlos Saez and Jason McTague, worked their way up from entry-level roles to executive leadership at a previous home buying company closing roughly 500 deals a year. Since then we have bought over 300 homes, and we’re rated A+ by the BBB.
We’re two founders and a small team, so when you call you talk to the people who do the work. We listen to your situation first, explain what we can offer and why, and answer your questions plainly.
As cash home buyers, we buy houses anywhere in Georgia. Our house buying process is simple and, as a bonus, we can pay closing costs, too. Save time and money by selling to a professional cash homebuyer.

Selling a House in Hall County, Georgia
Hall County is in the foothills of the Blue Ridge, about an hour northeast of Atlanta. Gainesville, the county seat, is known as the Poultry Capital of the World, and the county includes a large stretch of Lake Lanier, the Army Corps of Engineers reservoir built in the 1950s. Beyond Gainesville you’ll find Oakwood, Flowery Branch, Clermont, Lula and Gillsville, the Hall County parts of Buford and Braselton, and unincorporated communities like Chestnut Mountain, Murrayville, Candler, Belmont and Chicopee.
Homes here run from older houses in and around Gainesville, near Brenau University and downtown, to lake-area properties and newer subdivisions along I-985. As of October 2026, per Redfin, home prices in the county have hovered around $400,000 and homes take about 70 days to sell, which is a long wait if you need out of a house. We buy houses across the county, and the situation behind a sale changes a lot from one part of the county to the next, so we start by asking about yours. We’ve bought three Hall County houses in the last 12 months, two in Gainesville and one in Flowery Branch, and more since we started in 2019, with purchase prices from $40,000 to $245,000. If your property is in a neighboring county, take a look at our Atlanta and Marietta pages or call us to ask about your area.
Common Situations for Hall County Homeowners
Inherited property
Estates in Georgia usually go through probate court, which in Hall County means the Probate Court in Gainesville. If you’ve inherited a house you don’t want, or the heirs live in different states, we can talk about buying it once someone has the legal authority to sell.
Facing foreclosure
Georgia foreclosures don’t go through a judge. Sales happen on the first Tuesday of the month at the county courthouse, after the lender sends written notice. If you have a notice, call us early and we’ll go over your options, including whether a sale makes sense before the auction date.
Rentals and tenants
A tenant who stopped paying, a roof nobody wants to replace, or a rental you’re just tired of managing. We can talk about buying it without you making repairs or arranging showings.
Repairs, taxes and liens
Older houses come with expensive surprises, and back taxes or a recorded lien can stall a regular sale. We’ve spent years working with title companies, lenders and attorneys, so those problems are familiar to us.
Hall County Home Seller Questions
Do you buy houses on or near Lake Lanier?
Yes, we buy houses on and near the lake in Hall County. Much of Lake Lanier’s shoreline is managed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, and docks generally need Corps permits, so we’ll ask early about the dock and shoreline situation. Call us and we’ll talk through your property.
I inherited a house in Gainesville and live out of state. Can you still help?
Yes. Estates in Hall County usually go through the Probate Court in Gainesville, and we can work with the executor or heirs from wherever they live. We coordinate with a local closing attorney so you don’t have to be here for every step.
Do you buy outside Gainesville, like Chestnut Mountain, Murrayville or Chicopee?
Yes. We buy houses in unincorporated communities like Chestnut Mountain, Murrayville, Candler, Belmont and Chicopee, in the Hall County parts of Buford and Braselton, and in smaller towns like Gillsville, Lula and Clermont.
How fast can I get an offer?
We make a cash offer within 24 hours once we have the details on your property. Closing happens on your timeline, not ours.
Do I need to make repairs before selling?
No. We buy houses that usually need work, so you don’t have to fix or clean up anything before we make an offer.
Is there any obligation?
No. Our offer is free and has no obligation. You decide whether it’s right for you.

Options For Selling Your House Fast In Hall County, GA
OPTION 1
List your house on the market with a real estate agent: Homes in Hall County take an average of about 70 days to sell, before the time it takes to close, plus you must deal with the hassles of open houses, commissions, appraisals, and financing falling through at the last minute.
OPTION 2
Sell the house yourself (FSBO): You’re doing all the work an agent would do to save money on selling expenses, but it costs you a lot of time and stress.
OPTION 3
Sell for cash to Southeast Homebuyers: Avoid the hassles of listing on the market, pick your closing date, and don’t bother with cleaning up or repairs. There is no obligation to see how much we can pay, and we LOVE the most difficult situations agents or other real estate investors won’t touch.
