Local Help for Fayette County Homeowners.
Fayette County lies south of the airport, home to Fayetteville, Peachtree City and Tyrone. Well-regarded schools and planned communities keep demand steady, and many owners here have equity worth protecting with a sale before a foreclosure date.
If you’ve fallen behind or received a notice of sale, Jerry Richardson can walk you through where you stand, what your home might sell for as-is, and whether selling to a cash investor before the sale date could protect your equity. There’s no obligation, and your information is never sold.
How foreclosure works in Fayette County
Like the rest of Georgia, most Fayette County foreclosures are non-judicial. The lender must mail you a notice at least 30 days before the sale and advertise it in the county’s legal newspaper once a week for four weeks. The sale itself takes place on the first Tuesday of the month at the Fayette County courthouse in Fayetteville, between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. After the sale, there’s no right to buy the home back.

Your options before the sale
- Catch up, modify or postpone: reinstatement, repayment plans and loan modifications.
- Sell before the sale date: pay off the loan and keep any remaining equity.
- Short sale if you owe more than the home is worth.

Answers for Fayette County homeowners. Every situation is different, so call Jerry with yours.
Foreclosure sales for property in Fayette County are held at the Fayette County courthouse in Fayetteville, or another location the county designates, on the first Tuesday of the month between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m.
Georgia law requires your lender to mail a notice at least 30 days before the sale and to advertise it in Fayette County’s legal newspaper for the four weeks before the sale. The notice names the sale date and the attorney handling it. If you’re unsure, call your servicer or the attorney named on the notice.
