When you call Goings Places, you're talking to me — Dave Goings. I'm a former Infantry Officer, Ranger School graduate, and combat veteran. After serving our country, I brought that same discipline and integrity into real estate right here in Columbus, GA.
My wife Rebecca and I bought our first house as-is and renovated it ourselves — we literally ate dinner on sawhorses and drywall while we fixed it up. That's the photo below. I know exactly what it means to buy a house in any condition, because I've lived it. Every house I buy goes back into our community as a quality home for a new family.
Date night with Rebecca in our first as-is house — sawhorses, drywall, and all.
No judgment, no questions you don't want to answer. Just a fair offer and a path forward.
We wanted to let everyone know what a good experience we had with Dave Goings buying our house. He was honest, fast, nice and we never had any problems. Thanks Dave!
Dave was great to work with when I was looking to sell my mother's house after the probate process. He bought it at a fair price as is, for cash and no inspections. Very easy to work with.
Dave is an outstanding professional! He knows what he's doing! More than that...he's honest. You can trust him to do the right thing.
Both sides of the river. Georgia and Alabama.
Don't see your area? Call Dave — he probably buys there too.
Call, text, or email Dave. He'll personally come check out the house — you don't even need to be there if you can't make it. Dave makes you an offer. If you accept, we send it to the closing attorney to clear title (usually about 6 days). If any title issues come up, Dave works with the attorneys to solve them. Once title is clear, you pick your closing date. Done.
Any condition. As-is. Fire damage, water damage, mold, foundation issues, hazmat, tenant damage, hoarder house — it doesn't matter. Dave has seen it all and bought it all. You don't need to clean, repair, or touch a thing.
All of them. Divorce, inheritance, probate, foreclosure, behind on mortgage payments, out-of-town owner, squatters, non-paying tenants, occupied or vacant, tax delinquent, liens, contested titles — Dave and his team have handled every situation and will walk you through yours step by step.
None. Ever. No commissions, no closing costs, no hidden charges, no surprises. The offer Dave gives you is what you walk away with.
Sometimes a realtor does make sense — and Dave will tell you if that's the case. But if you value closing fast and simple, Dave is your guy. No pre-listing work, no showings, no days on market, no appraisals, no inspections, no banks complicating the process. Just sold.
Dave can pay you more — because there's no middleman. A lot of "home buyers" are actually wholesalers. They get your house under contract and then sell that contract to another buyer for a fee. That fee comes out of your pocket. Dave buys direct, renovates the home himself, and puts it back into the community. You should be getting that money — not a middleman. Be careful of this.
Once title is clear — which typically takes about 6 days — you pick the closing date. Most deals close in 14 days or less. But if you need more time, that's fine too. You're in the driver's seat.
Nope. Dave will come check out the property whether you're there or not. If you're out of town, dealing with a tenant situation, or just can't make it — no problem. He'll handle it.
Still have a question? Just ask Dave.
