Seller questions
What does it cost to sell a house in Georgia?
Typical seller costs in Georgia include the listing brokerage commission, any mortgage payoff, the Georgia transfer tax of $1 per $1,000 of sale price, the seller’s closing attorney fees, payoff and recording fees, a termite letter, prorated property taxes and any negotiated concessions or repairs. Use the seller net sheet to estimate your proceeds.
Who pays the transfer tax in Georgia?
In Georgia the seller customarily pays the real estate transfer tax, which is $1.00 for each $1,000 of the sale price.
Do I need an attorney to sell my house in Georgia?
Yes. Georgia real estate closings are conducted by a licensed Georgia attorney, who prepares the deed and handles the closing and the settlement statement.
How are property taxes handled when I sell in Glynn County?
Georgia property taxes are paid in arrears, so at closing the seller usually credits the buyer for the days the seller owned the home that year. If the seller already paid the year’s bill, the buyer reimburses the seller for the rest of the year.
