Browse owner-financed properties in North Georgia with Gold Peach Realty
Whether you’re buying or selling, owner financing creates a direct deal — no bank required. The seller acts as the lender, you make monthly payments, and both parties benefit.
Exhibit A
Exhibit B
No bank. No underwriter. Just two parties reaching a fair deal — often in a matter of days.
01
Work with Gold Peach Realty to identify properties in North Georgia available for owner financing — land, homes, or rural acreage.
02
Agree directly with the seller on price, down payment, interest rate, and payment schedule. Georgia law governs the promissory note and security deed.
03
An attorney drafts the purchase agreement and security deed. Closings typically happen much faster than a conventional mortgage.
04
Pay the seller directly each month. Build equity. Refinance with a bank later if needed — or pay out the balance on your own schedule.
