Can I close faster if I pay cash?

Paying cash removes lender underwriting and appraisal from the closing timeline, which are usually the slowest steps in a financed purchase, so a cash closing can move as fast as the title work and attorney scheduling allow. Georgia still requires a licensed attorney to prepare and execute the deed regardless of how you are paying, and that attorney's availability often becomes the actual pacing factor. A clean title with no liens speeds things up further. Joel Boss can tell you realistically how fast a specific property could close for a cash buyer.
