Meet Paul & Rita Grimes
Longleaf Home Buyers is a family-owned and faith-led company. We’ve been buying houses in the Augusta area since 2007, first as Grimes Home Buyers, and today we buy more than 100 houses a year.
We meet with you in person and walk you through exactly how we came up with your offer. And if listing with an agent would get you more money, we’ll tell you that too.
“Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord.” Colossians 3:23

Selling to Longleaf vs. Listing with an Agent
Listing is the right choice for some houses. Here’s how the two compare, so you can decide what’s best for you.
| Selling to Longleaf | Listing with an agent | |
|---|---|---|
| Commissions | None | Agent commission |
| Closing costs | We pay them | Seller usually pays a share |
| Repairs and cleaning | None, we buy as-is | Often needed to sell |
| Showings | One walkthrough | As many as it takes |
| Time to close | 7–14 days, or your date | Depends on the buyer and the market |
| Chance the sale falls through | Low, we pay cash | Higher, buyer financing can fall through |

Frequently Asked Questions
How fast can you buy my house?
Most sellers close in 7 to 14 days after accepting our offer. If you need more time, we close on the date you choose.
Do I need to make repairs or clean up first?
No. We buy houses in as-is condition. Leave what you don’t want, and we handle the rest.
Are there any fees or commissions?
None. There are no agent commissions, and we pay the standard closing costs. The offer we make is the amount you receive at closing.
What areas do you buy in?
Augusta, North Augusta, Evans, Martinez, Grovetown, Hephzibah, Aiken and the surrounding CSRA, in both Georgia and South Carolina.
Is there any obligation if I request an offer?
No. Our offer is free and there’s no pressure to accept. If listing with an agent is the better choice for you, we’ll say so.
