You might not know that you have many options when it’s time to sell! For many buyers and situations, a direct sale might be the way to go. However, before you sell to a professional Atlanta home buyer, take some time to learn about the company’s background. Different buyers operate in different ways, but no matter how they operate, you need to make sure you can trust them. Keep reading to learn the signs of a trustworthy home buyer in Atlanta.
How Long Have They Been In Business?
You don’t have to rule out a company just because they are new to the game. Everyone has to start somewhere. However, a company that has been around for awhile likely has streamlined their process and is obviously doing something right to still be in business. A company with a longer amount of time in business will likely have more knowledge and local market experience, allowing them to pay you a fair price for your Atlanta house.
Can They Provide References?
Any great home buyer will be able to provide references from past clients. Don’t rely solely on the top reviews they have cherry picked. Asked to get references from their last 5 transactions if possible. This will allow you to get a better grasp of what people really think about the service. Create some questions ahead of time and consider asking some out of the box questions. This a big transaction, and you will want to make sure you are choosing the right buyer for your Atlanta house.
What Does Their Social Presence Reveal?
Not every business spend a lot of time on social media, however, there are some definite signs to look for. Do they reply to questions posted on their page? Do they engage with customers or just post content? Do they allow reviews on their Facebook page? If not, there is likely a reason why.

How Is Their Standing With The BBB?
Review the company on the BBB to find out if there are complaints against the company. You can take some reviews with a grain of salt. Sometimes people become frustrated about something out of the buyer’s control and opt to leave a negative review.
