Question 1

What triggers a lis pendens on a office in Atlanta?

Accepted Answer

A lis pendens is a recorded notice that a property is subject to a pending lawsuit, typically a foreclosure action. Properties with active lis pendens filings are trackable in public records and represent one of the earliest signals of a distress event. In Atlanta, the most common triggers for office buildings are Buckhead office softness, Westside industrial pipeline, multifamily concessions widening in Midtown. Identifying assets early in this sequence, before the situation becomes public, is the core of OffMarketX's sourcing model.

Question 2

How long does a lis pendens process take for office buildings in Atlanta?

Accepted Answer

Timelines vary by jurisdiction and complexity. In GA, lis pendens filing processes for office buildings typically run 60 to 180 days from initiation to close, though contested matters can extend significantly. OffMarketX engages at the earliest stage to give buyers maximum time for diligence and negotiation before court or servicer timelines compress the process.

Question 3

Does OffMarketX list office buildings in Atlanta under lis pendens?

Accepted Answer

No. OffMarketX is not a listing platform. We connect principals, sellers under lis pendens filing pressure with buyers who can close without a public process. Sellers sign a confidentiality agreement before any details are shared with buyers, and every transaction is structured principal-to-principal. There are no broker commissions on either side.
