Why we love Marietta

First established as a tiny settlement during the 1820s, Marietta has since become the seat for the third most-populated county in Georgia and a vital part of the Atlanta metropolitan area. Marietta is home to Dobbins Air Reserve Base and is just a stone’s throw away from the natural splendors of Kennesaw Mountain and the Chattahoochee River. The population is approximately 61,000 strong, with families, retirees, and young professionals living side by side in a diverse community that offers culture, history, and more than its fair share of Southern charm.

Marietta’s housing market in a nutshell

Marietta’s real estate market is scored as “somewhat competitive.” The population of Cobb County is expected to grow by 250,000 people between now and 2050. Recent trend data suggests that Marietta is getting most of its newcomers from major coastal cities like New York and Los Angeles.

Redfin also tracks local environmental hazards to houses. Hazards that Marietta houses face include:

The Atlanta-area real estate market—including Marietta—is expected to continue growing in coming years. A growing housing market can be good for some sellers and bad for others. That’s why it’s good to have a trusted potential buyer in your corner when it’s time to sell.

Differences between We Buy Ugly Houses^® and iBuyers

If you decide to sell to an Atlanta off-market buyer, there is a good chance that you will come across an iBuyer company or two. An iBuyer is a business where the seller fills out an online form and receives an AI-generated offer on their house, usually within 24 to 48 hours.

The important thing to remember about iBuyers is that getting an offer is not the same thing as closing a sale. An iBuyer will sometimes send an inspector to your property and lower the offer, ask you to make repairs, or cancel the offer altogether based on the condition of your house. Most iBuyers charge commissions and/or fees as well.

We Buy Ugly Houses does an in-person home walkthrough as one of the first steps in the buying process, rather than basing our first estimate on data points like address and tax records. We don’t ask you to make repairs, and we don’t charge commissions or hidden fees.^†

We also pride ourselves on a high level of service. While iBuyers are primarily tech companies and may not be able to give you a lot of attention and care, we always do our best to put you first in your home sale.
