Selling a house in Georgia: the rules that matter
Who runs the closing
Georgia law requires closings to run through a licensed closing attorney rather than a title or escrow company. It doesn’t slow a cash sale much — attorney-run cash closings in two to three weeks are normal.
Seller taxes and fees
Georgia’s transfer tax is modest — $1.00 per $1,000 of the sale price, customarily paid by the seller.
The foreclosure clock
Georgia is a non-judicial state with one of the fastest timelines anywhere: sales happen on the courthouse steps the first Tuesday of the month after about 30 days of published notice. A foreclosure can go from first notice to auction in a single month.
