Selling a Home in Tucker
About 48% of Tucker homes were built before 1980, so inspections often turn up older roofs, HVAC, plumbing or electrical work. Dexter is a licensed Georgia contractor with 20+ years as a contractor, so he can walk the house with you and help you decide which repairs are worth making before you list and which to leave for the buyer.
Listing on the open market is the usual route. On some properties, Dexter may make a direct written cash offer, disclosed in writing as a licensee acting as a principal for his own account. No offer is promised. See how listing works or request a home value estimate.
