Can I stay in my Alpharetta house after closing if my next home is not ready?

Staying in an Alpharetta home after closing is possible through a post-closing possession agreement, sometimes called a rent-back, where the seller pays the buyer rent for an agreed period after the sale closes. It has to be negotiated as part of the purchase contract, with a per diem rate, a firm move-out date and what happens if the seller overstays. Not every buyer will agree to it, especially in a competitive Alpharetta offer situation, so raise it early rather than after the contract is signed.
