What does a Kennesaw seller actually pay at closing in 2026?

Closing costs for a Kennesaw seller run through a net proceeds worksheet built from the actual sale price, the mortgage payoff, the Georgia transfer tax, the closing attorney's fee, and any repairs or credits negotiated with the buyer. Georgia law makes the seller legally liable for the transfer tax, though many contracts shift that cost to the buyer, and every Georgia closing must be handled by a Georgia-licensed attorney rather than a title company alone. Joel Boss walks Cobb County sellers through that worksheet using their actual numbers before they list.
