How to Sell an Apartment in Georgia Without an Agent: A Guide for Owners | Unlim.ge

Selling a flat in Tbilisi or Batumi yourself? Documents to prepare, how to price it, list it on Unlim.ge, run viewings and close the deal at the Public Hall.

November 9, 2026

You can sell an apartment in Georgia without a real estate agent if your papers are in order: get a fresh extract from the Public Registry, compare prices with similar flats in your district, publish a listing with good photos and handle viewings yourself. The deal is signed at the Public Service Hall (House of Justice), where the change of ownership is registered. A basic listing on Unlim.ge is free, and real estate is one of the most viewed sections of the platform. Many foreign owners sell this way to avoid agency fees.

Selling yourself or hiring an agent

Sell yourself if the flat is registered in your name, has no encumbrances and you can be in Georgia for viewings.
Get professional help if there are several owners, a mortgage, a dispute over shares, or you live abroad and nobody can show the flat for you.

Documents to prepare

Public Registry extract. Buyers ask for it first: it shows the owner, the area and any encumbrances. You can get it online or at the Public Service Hall.
Passport or Georgian ID of every owner, and consent from co-owners.
Title document: the purchase, gift or inheritance contract under which you got the flat.
Proof of no utility debts. It saves a lot of questions at viewings.

Requirements change, so check the current list at the Public Service Hall before the deal.

Pricing the apartment

Find 5–10 similar flats for sale on Unlim.ge in your district: same size, floor and condition.
Do not compare new builds sold as black or white frame with renovated flats: their prices work differently.
Leave some room for bargaining: negotiation is normal when buying property in Georgia.
State the currency clearly. Property is often priced in US dollars.
If calls are slow after a month, revisit the price or the photos.

Writing a listing that sells

Daylight photos: every room, kitchen, bathroom, balcony, view, entrance and yard.
A clear title: rooms, district and the main selling point, for example "3-bedroom in Vake, renovated, sea view" or "2-bedroom in Old Batumi near the boulevard".
Facts in the description: size, floor, heating, renovation, what stays in the flat, parking.
Languages. Unlim.ge works in Georgian, Russian and English. Add a Georgian version so local buyers find you too.

Viewings and a safe deal

Arrange viewings by phone and keep a note of who is coming.
Have a second person with you and put valuables and documents away.
Do not take a cash deposit without a written receipt, and do not hand over keys before the sale is registered.
Settle the payment through a bank: a transfer or a safe deposit box.
Sign the contract at the Public Service Hall, where the new owner is registered in the Public Registry.

Tax on selling property

Income from selling real estate in Georgia is taxable in some cases and exempt in others, for example depending on how long you have owned the flat. Rules for residents and non-residents differ, so check your case on the Revenue Service website rs.ge or with a local accountant before you sell.
