Do I pay capital gains tax when I sell a house I inherited?
Capital gains tax on an inherited house is governed by federal tax law and generally starts from a stepped-up cost basis set at the value on the date of death, rather than what the original owner paid for it. That basis adjustment often reduces or eliminates taxable gain if the home is sold soon after inheriting it, but the actual math depends on the estate's specifics and how long you hold the property afterward. A CPA or tax attorney can calculate your actual exposure before you list.
When should I hire a real estate attorney in the home-buying process?
Timing matters less than most buyers assume, since Georgia already requires a licensed attorney to handle the closing on every transaction regardless of when that attorney first gets involved. Bringing the attorney in as soon as a contract is signed, rather than waiting until the week of closing, gives them more time to review title work and flag problems before they become deadline pressure. Joel Boss typically makes that introduction right after an offer is accepted so the attorney is not starting cold.
How do I figure out what I will actually net on a home sale?
Figuring out your actual net starts with your expected sale price, then subtracting your remaining mortgage payoff, any agent compensation you agree to pay, attorney fees, prorated property taxes, and Georgia's transfer tax, which runs $1 for the first $1,000 of consideration and 10 cents for each additional $100. A closing attorney provides an estimated settlement statement before closing that itemizes every deduction specific to your sale. Getting that estimate early, rather than assuming a round number, avoids surprises at the closing table. Joel Boss can build a realistic net estimate before you decide to list.
