Rent to own homes in metro Atlanta from Fresh Start Home Sales, for buyers who aren't mortgage ready yet and owners who need out of a house. Two doors, one company, working since 2016.
Buyers: find a home you love and rent it with the right to buy it later. Owners: get paid over time instead of waiting on a listing. We work across Atlanta, Snellville, Lawrenceville and Decatur, where homes listed in September 2026 took 53 to 80 days to go under contract, according to Realtor.com's residential inventory data.
Which one are you?
Steady income, but the lender says the credit score is short or the down payment isn't there yet, and the house goes to someone else. We work out what you qualify for first, then you find a home you love and move in at a price agreed in writing at the start.
What rent to own gives youAn inherited property, a rental you're finished with, or a house that isn't selling at the number you need. Selling on terms means the payments start, someone who wants to own it looks after it, and you stop carrying it.
What selling on terms gives youAnswers first
Two agreements at once: a standard lease with monthly rent, plus an option giving you the right to buy at a price set in writing, for the length of the term.
That's most of the people we work with. It means not this month, not that you can't own a home.
No. A deposit is your money, held for you. An option fee buys the exclusive right to purchase at a fixed price, and you own that right from the day you sign. How much it costs and why it isn't refundable.
No. An option is a right, not an obligation. If the term ends and you're not ready, ask about an extension or move out.
For buyers
Not a short list of whatever we happen to hold. We work out what you qualify for, then you go and find a home you love.
Agreed at the start, so a rising Atlanta market doesn't change what you owe.
A lender sees a score. We look at whether the monthly number works.
Knowing what you qualify for before you shop is what makes the search work. Start there and we're looking at homes you can actually get, rather than ones the numbers were never going to reach. Work out what you could afford, on your own numbers, before you call anyone.
