Georgia Real Estate Overview
Georgia follows standard escrow/title closing practices with attorney involvement common but not required. The state has specific disclosure requirements and regional MLS systems.
Federal Compliance Checklist
Lead-Based Paint Hazard Disclosure
Federal law (Residential Lead-Based Paint Hazard Reduction Act of 1992) requires sellers of homes built before 1978 to disclose any known lead-based paint or lead hazards and provide buyers with the EPA’s lead hazard information pamphlet. Buyers must also be given a 10-day opportunity to conduct a lead paint inspection or waive that right.
Fair Housing Act (No Discriminatory Advertising)
Under the federal Fair Housing Act, sellers (and their agents) must not publish any advertisement for the listing that expresses a discriminatory preference based on protected classes (e.g. race, color, religion, sex, disability, familial status, or national origin). For example, statements such as 'no children' or other exclusions in home listings are unlawful.
State-Level Rules Sellers Must Follow
No Standard Disclosure Form, But Must Disclose Defects
Georgia is a buyer-beware state – sellers are **not required by law to fill out a standardized disclosure form**. However, Georgia sellers **must disclose known material defects** about the property that could not be discovered by the buyer upon a reasonable inspection. Failing to disclose a known latent defect (for example, a termite infestation or an unseen structural crack) can lead to liability for fraud. Most Georgia home sellers choose to complete the Georgia Association of REALTORS® Seller’s Property Disclosure Statement as a best practice, although it’s not mandated by statute.
County & City Considerations
Local Requirements
Georgia does not impose additional local disclosure requirements. Disclosure duties and practices are set by state law and the common law obligation to avoid fraud. Sellers should be mindful of any local ordinances (for example, if the property is in Atlanta and there’s a city ordinance about low-flow plumbing upon resale), but those typically concern required upgrades rather than disclosures.
Seller Disclosure Requirements
What sellers must disclose in Georgia:
- Georgia Residential Property Disclosure Act requires disclosure form
- Must disclose known material defects affecting property value
- Soil conditions, septic systems, and water damage disclosure
- Lead-based paint disclosure for pre-1978 homes
- Termite and pest treatment disclosure required
MLS Rules & Listing Logistics
MLS Practices
In Georgia, as elsewhere, a property must be listed by a licensed broker to appear on the MLS. A written listing agreement is required. Georgia MLS systems (e.g., FMLS and GAMLS) also follow the Clear Cooperation policy for timely listing of publicly marketed properties. MLS rules in Georgia require at least one property photo and complete listing information. Any advertising in the MLS must comply with fair housing laws (so no exclusionary language). Status changes like contract pending or closing must be reported in the MLS promptly per MLS rules.
How Much Equity You Keep on a $350,000 Sale
Every seller sees the math before launch. We assume a $10,500 buyer-agent incentive (3%) across all options so you can compare apples-to-apples with “flat fee” services that tack on a percentage at closing.
| Option | Upfront Fees | Due at Closing | Total Listing Cost | Buyer Agent (3%) | Total Listing & Selling Costs | Savings vs 6% |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Meydomo Flat-Fee MLS1 | $199 | $999 | $1,198 | $10,500 | $11,698 | $9,302 |
| Housecoin “Flat Fee”2 | $0 | $3,500 | $3,500 | $10,500 | $14,000 | $7,000 |
| Houzeo Silver Plan3 | $249 | $1,750 | $1,999 | $10,500 | $12,499 | $8,501 |
| Traditional 6% Agent4 | $0 | $10,500 | $10,500 | $10,500 | $21,000 | — |
* Buyer-agent line assumes a 3% incentive across every scenario. Sellers can set Meydomo buyer-agent payouts anywhere from 2% to 3%.
1 Meydomo pricing: $199 to launch, $999 at close. Buyer-agent incentives remain optional.
2 Housecoin advertises no upfront cost but charges 1% of sale price at close (marketed as “flat fee”).
3 Houzeo Silver plan: $249 list fee plus 0.5% at close, subject to $999 minimum (houzeo.com/pricing).
4 Traditional listing assumed 3% listing-side commission and 3% buyer-agent commission (typical 6% split).
