The Georgia Land Guide

Buying & Selling Lots, Acreage, and Rural Property the Smart Way
By Georgia brokers Ron & Addison Corbin · The Corbin Real Estate Team

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)

Who this book is for

This is the right guide if you:

  • Own raw land and aren’t sure how to value or position it
  • Are considering buying acreage for a home, farm, or homestead
  • Want to understand soil tests, perc tests, zoning, variances, and utilities
  • Prefer clear explanations over technical jargon
  • Want expert insight from agents who actually walk land—not just houses
