We buy houses directly — as-is, no repairs, no agent fees.
Selling a Marietta, Georgia house with foundation or structural problems
We buy houses in the condition they are actually in. Nothing to fix first.
What this actually means
Foundation and structural issues sit outside what most lenders will finance, which removes most buyers. They also range enormously in cost, from minor stabilisation to work costing more than the house is worth.
What usually goes wrong
Sellers get a repair quote from the company that will do the repair and never seek an independent assessment. The second problem is repairing without documentation, which leaves buyers unconvinced anyway.
Your options
Get an engineer's assessment and repair, then sell conventionally. Get an assessment and sell with it disclosed. Sell as it is to a buyer who expects to do the work. Keep it and monitor the movement.
What applies in Marietta, Georgia
Georgia's building, residential and fire codes are mandatory statewide: any structure in Georgia must comply with them whether or not the local government chooses to enforce them locally. (Source: https://dca.georgia.gov/community-assistance/construction-codes/mandatory-and-permissive-state-codes) Cobb County's inspections office permits construction only in the unincorporated parts of the county, so an owner has to establish which jurisdiction their address actually falls in before applying — and home renovations and demolition are both named residential permit types.

Common questions
Do I need an engineer's report? Not to sell to us, though it is useful for you to know. Will you buy a house that is still moving? Yes. Should I repair it first? Usually only if you have the money, the time and independent advice.
What we do
We buy properties with structural problems and take on both the assessment and the work. We cannot tell you whether a crack is serious. That is a job for a structural engineer.
How fast this can actually close
A cash purchase removes the two slowest parts of a normal sale: mortgage underwriting and the appraisal that goes with it. Most of the remaining time is the title search and the closing attorney's schedule. A date that suits you is usually negotiable. Needing longer is not a problem.
How selling to us works
You tell us about the property. There is no cost and no obligation. We look at it — in person where that is useful, and we do not ask you to prepare it first. We make an offer, and we explain how we arrived at it rather than simply naming a number. If the offer works for you, you choose the closing date. If it does not, that is a perfectly good answer and we leave it there.
