Selling a commercial loan in Georgia

Georgia is a non-judicial foreclosure state. A power-of-sale foreclosure can complete in as little as ~37 days after notice, on the first Tuesday of the month — among the fastest in the country. There is generally no post-sale right of redemption. Because a lender absorbs carrying cost and risk for that entire period, a cash note sale today often beats carrying the credit through foreclosure.

Process

Foreclosure in Georgia

Georgia uses a fast non-judicial process driven by the security deed's power of sale, with advertising and a first-Tuesday sale. The speed limits carry — but a lender still bears price and ownership risk through any hold.

Selling the note instead

A note sale transfers the loan to a buyer for cash, removing the timeline, the legal cost, and the risk of ending up as the owner of the property.
