Georgia relocation guide

Moving to Florida & Georgia
Atlanta combines big-city career opportunity with Southern hospitality, tree-covered neighborhoods and four real seasons. It is one of the fastest-growing metros in the country and the economic engine of the Southeast. Here is why so many people are relocating to Atlanta and what to know before buying a home there.
Commute planning: Traffic matters in Atlanta. Map your commute, and consider MARTA rail access if you work in town.
Georgia homestead exemption: Georgia offers a homestead exemption on your primary residence. Apply with your county tax assessor after you close; deadlines vary by county.
Attorney closings: In Georgia, a real estate attorney conducts the closing. We coordinate with the closing attorney so you know what to expect.
State income tax: Unlike Florida, Georgia has a state income tax. Factor it into your budget if you are moving from Florida.
HOAs: Many suburban neighborhoods have HOA dues, and some include swim and tennis amenities.
We are licensed in Georgia and Florida and shop multiple lenders for conventional , FHA , VA and jumbo loans. Moving from Florida to Atlanta, or the other way around? We can help on both sides of the state line.
Ready to make Atlanta home? Get pre-approved or see what you can afford.
