Selling a home in Chestatee
Buyers in Chestatee arrive with the same questions: is golf included, do I get a slip, who do I call. A seller who answers them with documents, not adjectives, builds trust and avoids disputes after closing. Gold Peach Realty can feature your home on this guide, written the way the covenants actually read.
Many Chestatee listings repeat claims the documents do not support. A buyer or attorney who checks them will lose trust. The way to sell well is to say less and prove more.
Gather the documents buyers ask for
- The current welcome packet and every recorded amendment. HMS marks the Chestatee welcome packet as updated April 6, 2026.src
- Written terms of any slip you hold, from the slip owner, and whether they let a buyer take it over.
- Any written offer or terms from the golf club that apply to owners.
- The association’s current dues statement and any assessment, from the association.
- Records of past Modification Requests for work done to the home. Exterior changes need a Modification Request filed through the HMS portal; complex questions go to cmrc@chestateepoa.com.src
- Your sewer billing history from the Developer Office.
Say what is true, and no more
Three statements that cause trouble when listings make them without papers: that golf is included, that a slip is part of the home, and that the home can be used for short-term rental. The documents say Under the covenants the golf course is not association common property, and owning a lot or association membership gives no right to use it; use rights are set by the course owner.src They also say The covenants say owning a lot or association membership alone gives no right to use or own any boatslip; rights are granted by the slip owner on its terms.src And they say Short-term rentals (Airbnb, VRBO and similar) are expressly prohibited by an amendment to the covenants, whether or not the owner lives in the home.src
