Frequently Asked Questions

How much do I need for a down payment in Atlanta?

Most buyers put down 3–20% depending on loan type. FHA loans require just 3.5% (ideal for first-time buyers), while VA loans offer $0 down for eligible veterans. We partner with Atlanta lenders offering down payment assistance programs in neighborhoods like The Heights and Memorial — some buyers qualify for as little as $5,000 down on a $300K home.

Do I need to worry about flood zones when buying in Atlanta?

Yes — 1 in 3 Atlanta homes sits in a FEMA flood zone. We always run a free flood zone check before you tour any property and disclose if flood insurance is required (typically $500–$2,500/year). We avoid high-risk areas near bayous in Kingwood and Memorial unless the home has an elevation certificate.

How long does it take to buy a home in Atlanta?

From accepted offer to keys: 30–45 days on average (faster than the national average). Days 1–10 cover inspections (foundation, HVAC, and roof — critical in Georgia's heat). Days 11–30 handle appraisal and mortgage underwriting. Closing happens at a title company on day 30–45. Our buyers close 7 days faster thanks to a dedicated transaction coordinator who manages all paperwork and deadlines for you.

Do I pay my agent's commission as a buyer?

No — you pay $0 for representation. In Atlanta, the seller pays both buyer's and seller's agent commissions (typically 5–6% total). Your agent works exclusively for you with full fiduciary duty — negotiating price, repairs, and closing costs on your behalf

Atlanta’s standard for real estate integrity, expert market guidance, and generational wealth.
