Inheriting a house is not the same as owning it. The title does not automatically transfer because a will says so, and signing anything before the estate is settled is how people end up with a problem instead of a property.
If someone you know is sorting out a loved one's estate right now, share this with them.

Chandler is the one at our Atlanta Northside office who explains what closing on a first house, or sorting out an inherited property, actually involves.
He's been with GSH since March 2025 and spends most of his days on estates, land development, and first-time purchases.
If you've closed with Chandler, say hi in the comments!

Two houses in Metro Atlanta, same price, a few streets apart, and one carries a bigger property tax bill.
The difference is usually the city line. An address inside city limits pays city taxes on top of county, and the homestead exemption changes depending on where you land.
Clyde walks through how to check before the offer goes in. Agents, which county line surprises your buyers most?

If your GAR contract went binding before September 28, your closing date may have just moved.
Governor Kemp’s gas tax State of Emergency automatically extends unexpired GAR deadlines up to eight days. Non-GAR contracts , such as many new construction contracts, typically don’t include this stipulation.
Save the client script on slide 2 for the next time a buyer asks.

A Georgia landlord who returns a security deposit late, or without the itemized statement, can end up owing up to three times the amount withheld.
Most of the trouble starts before the tenant ever moves in, with a move-in inspection list that never got signed. The full checklist is in the slides. Landlords and property managers, which step catches people most often?
