Everything you need to know to go FSBO the smart way—without giving up support or control.
Why Homeowners Are Skipping the Agent
Georgia homeowners are rethinking the traditional 6% commission structure. With modern tools and platforms like Egguity, it's now possible to sell your home confidently—without giving up thousands in agent fees.
Whether you're looking to keep more equity, move faster, or just prefer a hands-on approach, this guide will walk you through every step of the For Sale By Owner (FSBO) process in Georgia.
Is It Legal to Sell Your Own Home in Georgia?
Yes. Georgia law allows homeowners to sell their property without a licensed real estate agent. This is known as “For Sale By Owner” or FSBO. You are legally allowed to:
Set your asking price
Market your property
Show your home to buyers
Negotiate offers
Work directly with a buyer’s agent or unrepresented buyer
That said, you must still follow a few legal requirements.
What Legal Steps Are Required?
Even without an agent, Georgia sellers must:
Disclose known issues using a Seller’s Property Disclosure form
Hire a licensed real estate attorney to handle closing
Comply with fair housing laws
Egguity helps you meet all these requirements seamlessly through our built-in tools and partner network.
Pros and Cons of FSBO in Georgia
Pros | Cons |
Save thousands on commission | Requires more upfront effort |
More control over the sale process | Limited exposure if not listed on MLS |
Direct communication with buyers | Risk of pricing mistakes |
Egguity bridges the gap—offering guidance and exposure without the traditional agent cost.
How to Sell FSBO in Georgia (Step-by-Step)
1. Prep Your Home for Sale
Declutter, deep clean, and consider professional photos. First impressions matter.
2. Price Your Home Strategically
Use comps from your area, not just Zillow estimates. Egguity helps you access real market data.
3. Create a Compliant Listing
You’ll need a compelling property description, disclosure forms, and marketing copy that reflects the home's true value.
4. Market Your Listing
List your property online, on social media, and through local channels. With Egguity, your listing gets the exposure it deserves—without paying 3%.
5. Handle Showings and Offers
Stay responsive, be ready to negotiate, and always document everything. If a buyer has an agent, be prepared to pay a buyer’s commission (typically 2–3%).
6. Close with a Real Estate Attorney
In Georgia, an attorney—not a title company—handles closing. Egguity connects you with trusted attorneys who can guide you through the paperwork and final steps.
How Much Can You Save Selling FSBO in Georgia?
On a $400,000 home, avoiding a 3% listing agent fee could save you $12,000 or more. Even if you pay a buyer’s agent 2.5%, you’re still ahead.
Should You Use a Platform Like Egguity?
If you want the savings of FSBO but the support of a professional team, Egguity offers:
Tools to price, list, and manage your sale
Access to a network of attorneys and service providers
Guidance from listing to close
Transparent, flat-fee pricing
No pressure. No 3% commission. Just smart selling.
