Where the official Cobb County list lives
The records behind this list are kept by the Cobb County Board of Tax Assessors / Cobb County GIS. Many counties let anyone look up a property there for free, and some publish the whole list. Check the office's website for the format and any fee.
The free route is real: for one list in one county, the county office may be enough.

Georgia rules and the Georgia guide explain how the process works.
Why these owners may sell
Owners who do not live in the house are less attached to it, and every repair, vacancy or tax bill is a reason to sell.
