Local Help for Fulton County Homeowners.
Fulton County runs nearly the full length of the metro, from Milton and Johns Creek in the north, through the city of Atlanta, down to South Fulton, Fairburn and Palmetto. Homes range from intown bungalows and condos to large suburban houses, which means the right path out of foreclosure can look very different from one ZIP code to the next.
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 Fulton County
Like the rest of Georgia, most Fulton 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 Fulton County courthouse in Atlanta, 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.
- Free help from a HUD-approved housing counselor at 800-569-4287.

Foreclosure sales for property in Fulton County are held at the Fulton County courthouse in Atlanta, 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 Fulton 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.
Yes. You still own the home until the sale is completed. If a sale closes before the date and pays off your loan, the foreclosure stops, and any remaining equity goes to you. Jerry can help you understand whether a cash sale makes sense.
