Residential and Commercial Real Estate Closings
The Law Office of R.W. Bross, P.C. provides experienced legal guidance for all types of real estate closings throughout Dawsonville and North Georgia.
Residential Real Estate Closings
Buying or selling a home represents one of life’s most significant financial decisions. Georgia law requires a licensed attorney to oversee all real estate closings, protecting the interests of buyers, sellers, and lenders throughout the transaction process. The Law Office of R.W. Bross, P.C. handles every aspect of residential closings with meticulous attention to detail.
Our Residential Closing Services Include
Contract Review and Delivery: The closing process begins when buyers and sellers sign the purchase and sale contract. We review all contract terms including price, earnest money, closing date, seller-paid costs, and contingencies to ensure complete accuracy.
Title Search and Examination: Our thorough title search identifies any potential issues with property ownership, liens, or encumbrances. We verify the seller legally owns the property and ensure clear title can be transferred to the buyer.
Title Insurance Coordination: Based on title examination results, we prepare title commitments and coordinate with leading title insurance companies to protect your investment. Title insurance safeguards against future claims or defects in property ownership.
Document Preparation: Our team prepares all necessary closing documents including deeds, affidavits, settlement statements, and lender documentation. Every document is reviewed for accuracy before closing day.
Closing Day Coordination: We explain all closing documents in detail, answer questions from all parties, and ensure proper execution of paperwork. Closing funds are collected and disbursed from our trust account, and we handle recording of the deed and security instruments.
Flexible Closing Options: We offer in-person closings, hybrid closings with electronic documents, and mail-out closings for parties unable to attend in person. Our mobile closing services bring the attorney to your preferred location when needed.
What to Expect During Your Residential Closing
The typical Georgia residential closing occurs 30 to 45 days after contract signing. During this period, we coordinate with buyers, sellers, real estate agents, and lenders to ensure all requirements are met.
Three Days Before Closing: Review your Closing Disclosure detailing all final transaction costs. Compare this document to your original Loan Estimate and address any discrepancies immediately.
Final Walk-Through: Conduct a final inspection of the property one to two days before closing to verify all agreed repairs are complete and no new damage exists.
Closing Day: Plan for the closing appointment to take a few hours. Bring government-issued photo identification, proof of homeowners insurance, and payment for closing costs via certified check or wire transfer. We will guide you through signing all documents and answer any questions that arise.
Commercial Real Estate Closings
Commercial real estate transactions involve significantly more complexity than residential closings. Multiple entities, detailed due diligence requirements, and substantial financial considerations demand experienced legal counsel. The Law Office of R.W. Bross, P.C. has the knowledge and resources to handle commercial transactions of all sizes.
Commercial Closing Services
Enhanced Due Diligence: Commercial transactions require comprehensive review of land use regulations, zoning laws, survey issues, and environmental concerns in addition to standard title searches and financial documentation. We thoroughly investigate all aspects of the property to protect your investment.
Complex Transaction Management: Commercial closings often involve extensive negotiation between individuals and corporate entities. We coordinate with all parties to ensure requirements are met and deadlines achieved.
Document Coordination: Commercial transactions can generate substantial documentation requiring careful organization. We ensure all documents are properly prepared, signed, notarized, and recorded.
Specialized Services: Our commercial closing services encompass property purchases, dispositions, 1031 exchanges, and specialized financing arrangements. We work with businesses throughout North Georgia on office buildings, retail spaces, industrial properties, and investment real estate.
