The Georgia Land Guide
Buying & Selling Lots, Acreage, and Rural Property the Smart Way
Land doesn't follow the same rules as houses
Buying or selling land in Georgia requires a different mindset, different tools, and a different strategy than residential real estate.
Whether you’re working with farmland, a wooded homesite, raw acreage, recreational property, or a future build site, this guide walks you through every major step—without the confusion or guesswork.
Inside this guide, you’ll learn:
- How to analyze **soil, topo, septic feasibility, and water access**
- What to check in **zoning, easements, surveys, and legal access**
- The truth about **well vs. municipal water**, and hidden utility costs
- How to read **flood maps, wetlands, and environmental reports**
- Smart pricing strategies for acreage in different Georgia regions
- How to market land properly—photos, drone footage, and MLS rules
- What land buyers expect (and what scares them away)
