Auction Purchase / Proving Ownership

[Christopher Williams]

I purchased a foreclosure in Atlanta a little over a week ago. We are trying to get the water turned on, but the City of Atlanta will not accept the Certificate of Sale/Receipt from the auction company. They have informed me they need a Warranty Deed or a Quit Claim Deed. I have confirmed with the auction Attorney we will not be receiving the Warranty Deed until the 2nd week in December at the earliest. Do anyone have any suggestions or have you had to deal with a similar situation?
