Why Atlanta homeowners sell with Sundae
If you're telling your friends or family that you want to sell your house fast in Atlanta, they might recommend working with a traditional real estate agent. This is a viable option depending on your strategy. But for those with damaged and distressed houses, it might take too long to get it into market-ready condition.
Don’t have the money or time to complete major repairs recommended to sell your house on the Multiple Listing Service (MLS)? With Sundae, you can sell your Atlanta home fast to a pool of real estate investors without repairs, no open houses, receive your top offer with no obligation to accept, and pay no seller fees to Sundae.

Risks to selling your house fast
When you're trying to sell your house fast, there are three main risks you might run into:
The first is the risk of overpricing. If your home is priced too high, it will sit on the market for a long time and eventually be sold at a lower price—which means that it won't have sold as quickly as you would have liked.The second is the risk of underpricing. You could leave money on the table if you accept a low-ball offer or fall victim to a scam.
There are people in the real estate space known for scamming sellers by using predatory tactics like bait-and-switch. This is when you’re offered a certain price, then the buyer renegotiates for way less than they promised after they have you on the hook.
The third is the risk of not marketing the home properly. If your home isn't marketed effectively, potential buyers won't know about it or understand what makes it special enough to buy.
On Sundae’s marketplace, we market your home to a pool of over 20,000 real estate investors who pay cash. Our staff also helps come up with a starting price for offers, but several homeowners have sold for more and avoided low-ball offers. Best of all, there’s no obligation to accept an offer.
Compare multiple offers for your house on your timeline
Before accepting an offer today, it’s important to know what your house is worth when selling off-market. To get the most from selling a home as-is, you need to bolster competition for your home. That gives you a better chance of getting a higher offer.
Sundae's marketplace creates competition between real estate investors, which might lead to a handful of offers for you. During the home buying process, cash home buyers are competing with other investors for your business, they’re incentivized to put their best offer first. It may even help you get more than you asked for in the first place.

What our customers are saying
Royce & Lee B.
“Took the burden of selling off us”
One of the benefits of Sundae was that they took much of the burden of selling the house off of us. Sundae sold our house in under a month. We appreciated that Sundae represented our interest.
Roy & Blanche
“Thought of preparing to get the house ready was overwhelming”
We’d been thinking about selling the house for quite some time but just the thought of preparing to get the house ready for sale was overwhelming. When Sundae proposed their as-is program, that made a lot of sense for us.
Margie W
“There was a lot of stuff that needed to be done”
My sister and I shared responsibilities in taking care of my mom. She had passed away so we didn’t want a whole, long drawn out situation. We already knew none of us had the money or the time to put into the house because there was a lot of stuff that needed to be done.
Andrew H.
“My life has changed remarkably since selling with Sundae.”
My life has changed remarkably since selling with Sundae. Not having the weight of the uncompleted home hanging over my head is really a game changer.
Shelley D.
“I couldn’t recommend you enough!”
I’ve recommended you to several people, two of whom are actually going to use Sundae to sell their homes, plus I already have a friend who is about to close. I couldn’t recommend you enough!
Oscar S.
“I was somewhat baffled at how easy it was.”
It was the smoothest transaction I’ve ever done, and I’ve done about 5 houses in my lifetime. I was somewhat baffled at how easy it was. I was waiting for more paperwork, but none ever came. Everything was extremely simple and easy.
Ferdinand S.
“This company is legit.”
This company is legit... the process was smooth, straightforward and painless. Sundae definitely treated me more than fair and I recommend them to anyone trying to sell their place with no renovations and showings!
Stan M.
“Things turned out great.”
Well, at first I didn’t believe it, but that’s the way it turned out. I had him explain that to me, because I thought ‘how could somebody bid on a property and not physically inspect it themselves before making an offer?’ but it worked out great…Three of the offers I received were, in my opinion, absurdly high. But, I went with one of them and things turned out great.
Camille S.
“Was really cool to see a pool of buyers bid on my home.”
I really liked that you guys put the house out to your network of investors. It was really cool to see a pool of buyers bid on my home, I thought that was amazing. Having the ability to see all of the offers from investors on your marketplace made this a truly unique selling experience for me.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the fastest way to sell a house that needs work?
The most common way to sell a house is on the Multiple Listing Service (MLS) with a traditional real estate agent. If you choose to go this route, your agent might ask you to complete renovations–otherwise you risk having your house sit on the market.
There’s an alternate route available for homeowners looking to sell with no repairs: Sundae. Over a four day period, your house may receive offers on our marketplace. From there, you’ll be able to choose a closing date as few as 10 days away. The best part? No repairs or updates needed.
The fastest way to sell a house that needs work is by selling off market. This means selling with a fast cash offer either directly to an investor, iBuyer or using a marketplace like Sundae. In doing so, you’ll be able to save time and money that would’ve otherwise been spent on renovations.
Even though your house may not be at risk of entering foreclosure, you want to move on with your life. When evaluating ways to sell, consider all of the on-market and off-market options.

How long does it take to sell a house in Atlanta, Georgia?
If you're thinking about selling your house, you may be wondering how long it will take to sell. It takes an average of 85 days to close in Atlanta on Sundae’s marketplace from start to finish. On Sundae’s marketplace, the biggest advantages are that you can sell off-market and close in as little as 10 days after receiving your highest offer.
On the Multiple Listing Service (MLS), the time it takes to sell a house depends on several factors. For example, the condition of your home. When your home is dated or distressed, it might take longer to sell than if it were in tip-top shape. That’s why some traditional real estate agents will recommend that you renovate before selling, which may be time-consuming.
Another factor is location– depending on the local amenities and desirability of the neighborhood, it might take more or less time.

What’s the difference between Sundae and an iBuyer?
Homeowners in the Atlanta area who want fast cash often turn to local home buyers like “we buy houses” companies and iBuyers. While we offer a fast sale, we’re not an iBuyer. iBuyers give you a “take it or leave it” offer today, but may have fees associated with closing. In addition, they tend to prefer houses that require minimal repairs, so that they can put it back on the market quickly.Your home may be damaged or dated, but that doesn't mean you can't sell it with speed.
Our business model is different: no fees paid to Sundae by the seller, no repairs, and no "take it or leave it" offers. Sundae’s marketplace puts you in the driver’s seat and you choose whether to accept an offer. On average, sellers get 22+ offers.

Is now a good time to sell a house in Atlanta?
With interest rates rising, you may be wondering whether or not now is a good time to sell your house in Atlanta.
Interest rates affect potential buyers’ purchasing power. As rates go up, people are able to afford less on a monthly basis. This could have the effect of limiting the buyer pool. If you’re considering selling, but want to wait it out, just remember that you can't predict what the future of the market will look like.
We recommend evaluating the Atlanta real estate market right now before making a final decision. The median sales price of a home in Atlanta is $410,000, which is an increase of about 11.7% this past year. That means that your home’s equity has likely increased.
