Real estate agents in Georgia: what buyers ask
Who pays the real estate agent in Georgia?
Commissions are negotiable and not set by law. Since August 17, 2024, offers of compensation are banned from the MLS and buyers sign a written agreement first.
What must a seller disclose in Georgia?
Georgia has no mandatory state seller-disclosure form in the statutes reviewed. Caveat emptor is the general rule for used homes. A seller who knows of a serious hidden defect and stays silent can be sued for fraud.
