The legal obligations of buyers and sellers in Georgia

Long before the closing, you should retain an experienced attorney to prepare and review the contracts and other documents when you plan to buy or sell property. A veteran real estate lawyer will advise you on such issues as:

• Disclosure: When selling a property in Georgia, you are required to disclose defects in:
  • Roof
  • Structure
  • Electrical system
  • Plumbing
  • Heating
  • Ventilation and air conditioning
  • Septic system
  • Basement or foundation
  • Mechanical equipment
  • Stoves
  • Fireplace
  • Location of property in a wetlands or floodplain.
• Contractual obligations: Once both the buyer and seller have accepted the terms of the sale contract, each party has a legal responsibility to carry out the contract. Our knowledge of real estate law allows us to protect your investment and ensure that the other party lives up to the contract.

Our goal is to protect your time and money and avoid any real estate disputes. Our lawyers work hard to protect your interests and keep your investment secure

Providing trustworthy advice about your real estate transaction

For most people, buying a home is the largest transaction they will ever undertake. You need an attorney to represent you when you take this important step. A real estate agent or broker cannot, under Georgia law, perform the functions of an attorney. Agents who say they can do this are exposing themselves to penalties for the unauthorized practice of law. More important, from your perspective, agents and brokers do not have the legal training or experience to fully protect your investment and safeguard your contractual rights.You need our sophisticated team of real estate attorneys on your side. Our services include:

 

• Detailed contract review: Through a meticulous review of the documentation and a comprehensive title search, we help you prevent future real estate disputes, litigation, liens and other costly legal problems.
• Cost-effective representation: We have a reputation for providing professional and cost-effective counsel. We move quickly to avoid unnecessary expenses and delays.
• In-depth knowledge: Our real estate closing attorneys know the laws and regulations that govern the sale of real property. We keep you informed throughout all the negotiations, and, if necessary, aggressively litigate any disputes.
