If you need to sell a house in Grovetown, you don’t have to list it, fix it up, or wait months for the right buyer. Longleaf Home Buyers buys houses directly, for cash, in any condition. We’re a family-owned, faith-led company run by Paul and Rita Grimes, and we’ve been buying houses across Columbia County and the CSRA since 2007.
Tell us about your house, and within 24 hours you’ll have a fair, written cash offer, with the math behind it. There are no fees, no commissions, and no obligation. If listing with an agent would get you more, we’ll tell you that too.
Helping Military Families Sell on a PCS Timeline
Grovetown sits right next to Fort Eisenhower, and a lot of the homeowners who call us are service members and military families with orders in hand. A PCS move doesn’t wait for the right buyer to come along. You may need to sell before you report, or you may have already moved and be trying to manage a vacant house from another state.
We can set the closing date around your report date, handle much of the process remotely, and buy the house as-is so you don’t have to coordinate repairs, cleaning, or showings from a distance. If you’d rather keep the house as a rental, we’ll tell you honestly whether that makes more sense for you.
When a Cash Sale Makes Sense in Grovetown
Every situation is different, but these are some of the reasons Grovetown homeowners reach out to us:
- You have PCS orders and need to sell quickly, or you’ve already moved and the house is sitting empty.
- You’re a tired landlord: tenants, turnovers, and repair calls from out of state have become more trouble than the rent is worth.
- Your tenants are still in the house and you want to sell without waiting for the lease to end.
- The house needs work, like flooring, paint, HVAC, or damage left behind by a tenant.
- You owe close to what the house is worth and can’t afford agent commissions and closing costs on top.
- You’re going through a divorce or a major life change and need a clean, simple sale.
- You want certainty: no showings, no open houses, and no buyer financing that can fall through.
How Selling Your Grovetown House to Longleaf Works
1. Tell us about the house
Fill out the short form on this page or call (706) 760-9783. It only takes a couple of minutes, and a real person on our local team will call you back.
2. We meet you and explain our offer
We schedule a time to see the house in person, or with a family member, property manager, or agent if you’ve already moved. Within 24 to 48 hours, you get a written cash offer, and we walk you through how we arrived at it.
3. Close on your date
If the offer works for you, we close at a local closing attorney’s office in as little as 7 to 14 days, or later if you need time. We pay the standard closing costs, and you can leave behind anything you don’t want to move.
Selling a Rental With Tenants in Place
Grovetown has a lot of rental homes, and selling one with tenants inside is hard on the open market. Buyers who want to live in the house can’t move in, showings disrupt your tenants, and many lenders won’t finance an occupied rental. We buy rentals with tenants in place, including leases with late payments or damage, and we’ll talk through the lease and the timeline with you before you decide anything.
Selling a House in Georgia: What to Expect
In Georgia, real estate closings are handled by a licensed attorney, so your sale closes at a local closing attorney’s office. Property taxes are billed by Columbia County, and your share is usually prorated to the closing date. Before you sign anything, we’ll show you, line by line, which closing costs we cover and exactly what you’ll walk away with.
Selling to Longleaf vs. Listing With a Grovetown Agent
If your house is updated and move-in ready, you have time, and top dollar matters more than speed, listing with a good local agent may put more money in your pocket. We’ll tell you that honestly. Selling to us makes more sense when the house needs work, when timing matters, or when you want certainty: no inspections that can kill the deal, no buyer financing to fall through, no appraisal contingency, and no agent commission.

We buy houses throughout Grovetown, from older homes near downtown to the newer subdivisions around Fort Eisenhower, and across Columbia County, including Evans, Martinez, Appling, and Harlem.

Grovetown FAQ
Can I sell my Grovetown house if I’ve already moved away?
Yes. Many of our Grovetown sellers are out of state by the time they call. We can handle most of the process remotely and coordinate access with a family member, neighbor, or property manager.
Can I sell if I owe close to what the house is worth?
Often, yes. Because there are no agent commissions and we pay the standard closing costs, selling to us can leave you with more than you’d expect. We’ll run the numbers with you so you know exactly where you stand before you decide.
How fast can you close?
Most sellers close in 7 to 14 days after accepting our offer. If you need more time, we close on the date you choose.
Is there any obligation if I request an offer?
None. Our offer is free, and there’s no pressure to accept it. If another option is better for you, we’ll say so.
