Choosing a Closing Attorney in Georgia

Choosing a Closing Attorney in Georgia

In Georgia, the closing attorney represents the lender that provides the loan, (or the Buyer in an all-cash transaction), but the BUYER names the closing attorney in the sales agreement. The closing attorney’s role is significant, as they ensure all parties understand the complexities of the real estate closing process.
As the buyer, you have the option to select the closing attorney. You have the opportunity to find someone who specializes exclusively in real estate, one who is transparent about the fees they charge, and one who makes it clear they will answer every question and use as much time as it takes to be sure the buyer feels comfortable with the process and the outcome.
Regarding the delivery of earnest money, the Buyer (or the Buyer's agent) is responsible for sending all earnest money to the Closing Attorney by wire transfer and immediately notify Seller when it has been done
