Selling a home in North Metro Atlanta involves multiple cost categories — brokerage compensation, closing attorney fees, Georgia's state real estate transfer tax, county recording fees, property tax prorations, and HOA charges where applicable. Georgia law fixes the transfer tax rate and the recording fee structure, but most other costs are negotiated in your contract. Because the allocation and amounts vary by transaction, the only reliable way to know your net proceeds is to run a personalized seller's net sheet with a local agent who knows your county and your market.
