A Local Atlanta Home Buyer You Can Trust
Ellenwood is one of those communities that flies under the radar — but if you own a home here and need to sell, you know the local market has its own rhythm. Not every property qualifies for a traditional listing, and not every seller has the time or resources to go that route.
Marcus Costen Real Estate buys houses throughout Ellenwood and Henry County in any condition and any situation. We’re a local Metro Atlanta buyer with over 20 years of Georgia real estate experience — not a call center, not a wholesaler, and not an out-of-state hedge fund. We make fair cash offers and we close on your timeline.
Whether your home is off Fairington Road, near Ellenwood Road, in the 30294 zip code, or anywhere in the surrounding area, we want to hear from you.
Call or text (678) 404-9161 or fill out the short form below to get your offer within 24 hours.
Section: Why Ellenwood Homeowners Choose a Cash Sale
The Ellenwood market has grown significantly over the past decade as buyers look for more space south of Atlanta — but growth doesn’t solve every seller’s problem. Older homes, repair needs, and complicated ownership situations still make a traditional listing the wrong move for many homeowners.
Here’s what drives Ellenwood sellers to call us:
Your property needs work. Ellenwood has a wide range of housing stock — from newer subdivisions to older homes on larger lots that need significant updating. We buy houses as-is regardless of condition. No repairs, no cleaning, no staging.
You have a situation driving your timeline. Foreclosure, financial hardship, relocation, divorce, or an inherited property you don’t know what to do with — whatever the situation, we can move fast. Some closings happen in as little as 7 days.
You want to avoid the traditional selling costs. Agent commissions, closing costs, repair expenses, and carrying costs while your home sits on the market add up fast. Selling directly to us eliminates most of those.
You want a guaranteed close. No financing contingencies, no buyer cold feet, no last-minute renegotiations. Cash is cash — when we make an offer, we mean it.
Section: Situations We Help Ellenwood Homeowners With
We’ve helped homeowners across Henry and Clayton County work through some of the toughest situations in real estate. If any of these apply to you, we can help:
- Pre-foreclosure or mortgage default
- Inherited properties in any condition
- Divorce or separation
- Non-paying or difficult tenants
- Vacant homes accumulating costs
- Homes with fire, water, or storm damage
- Properties with liens, back taxes, or title problems

There’s no situation we haven’t seen. Reach out and let’s talk through your options.
Section: Our Simple Process
Step 1 — Tell us about your Ellenwood home. Call (678) 404-9161 or fill out the short form on this page. A few quick questions about the property and your situation — that’s all we need to get started.
Step 2 — Receive your cash offer. We’ll use our direct knowledge of the Ellenwood and surrounding South Atlanta market to put together a fair, no-obligation offer — typically delivered within 24 hours of your initial contact.
Step 3 — Choose your closing date. Fast or flexible — you set the timeline. We’ve closed transactions in 7 days and we’ve given sellers several weeks to prepare for their next move. Whatever works for you works for us.
Section: Why Local Experience Matters in Ellenwood
Ellenwood sits at the intersection of Henry, Clayton, and DeKalb counties — which means property values, school districts, and market conditions can shift significantly depending on the exact location of your home. That kind of nuance gets lost on a national platform running automated valuations.
It doesn’t get lost on us. Marcus Costen has been a licensed Georgia real estate agent since 2005 and has worked across all of these counties. We know what homes in Ellenwood are actually worth, what the carrying costs look like, and how to get a deal to closing without unnecessary delays.
We’re the buyer — not a middleman. That means no contract flipping, no surprises, and no excuses at closing.

The Traditional Way
Listing your house with an agent
The amount of time, money, and stress involved with listing your house adds up.
- The months it takes to sell add up
Your home is costing you money the whole time it sits on the market. Some people just can’t wait 90 days to sell their house. Plus you don’t get to choose when you want to close. - Fees and commissions stack up. Plus closing costs.
On average, 6% in commissions/fees are paid by a seller. Plus another 2% in closing costs. - Plenty of showings and disruption to your life
Not only do you have to get your house ready to show, but the number of showings can provide a serious disruption to your life. - You could be on the hook for repairs.
Depending on what pops under during the inspection period, you could be on the hook for repairs that you didn’t know you needed

Choosing the right cash home buyer for you
When you sell your house fast locally there are 3 options…
Option 1
List your house on the market with a real estate agent: From listing to cash in hand it’s usually 45-90+ days, hassles of open houses, commissions, and uncertainty.
Option 2
Sell the house yourself (FSBO): You’re doing all the work an agent would do, saving a bit of money but costing dozens of hours of time.
Option 3
Sell for cash to us: Avoid all of the hassles with listing on the market, pick your closing date, no obligation to see our offer, no need to do repairs, and we LOVE the most difficult situations agents or other investors won’t touch.
When you contact us and submit the short property information form, we’ll give you a fair all-cash offer on your house within 24 hours… and the best part is: we can close whenever YOU choose to close – it’s entirely up to you.
It doesn’t matter what condition the house is in, or even if there are tenants in there that you can’t get rid of… don’t worry about it. We’ll take care of it for you. And if you need the cash quickly, we can close in as little as 7 days because we buy houses with cash and don’t have to rely on traditional bank financing.
