Real Estate
Real Estate Attorney in Cartersville, Georgia
Real estate is the foundation this firm was built on. Our work ranges from a Saturday closing on a first home to complex commercial and leasing transactions, and every client gets the same level of attention regardless of the size of the deal.
What we handle
Closings, title, and everyday real estate
For homeowners, homebuyers, real estate agents, lenders, and local businesses across Georgia, we handle the transactions and issues that come up in day-to-day real estate work.
- Residential and commercial closings. Purchase and sale, title examination, curative work on clouded title, and coordinating with lenders and agents to keep closings on schedule.
- Commercial leasing. Drafting and negotiating leases for landlords and tenants, from a single retail space to a multi-tenant building.
- Land use, zoning, and entitlement. Rezonings, conditional use permits, variances, and the local approval process a parcel has to clear before it can become what a client needs.
- 1031 exchanges and entity structuring. Coordinating the timeline a tax-deferred exchange requires and advising on the right holding entity for a given investment.
- Real property disputes. Boundary and easement disputes, title defects, and disagreements between co-owners or neighbors.
Outdoor advertising
Billboard and outdoor-advertising real estate
We also represent billboard companies throughout the Southeast and Northeast in acquiring and disposing of billboard assets, leases, and easements. Billboard leases raise issues a standard commercial lease template doesn't address, including exclusivity, visibility protection, utility access for the sign, relocation rights, and permit and spacing requirements under state and federal outdoor-advertising regulation. We handle both the transactional and financing side of these deals, and this work isn't limited by geography; it follows the client and the asset.

Questions
Frequently asked questions
Do I need a real estate attorney for a closing in Georgia?
Yes. Georgia is an attorney-closing state, meaning a licensed attorney has to conduct the closing and disburse funds for most residential and commercial transactions.
What's the difference between a real estate attorney and a title company?
Georgia law requires an attorney to conduct the closing itself. Some title-related tasks, like a title search or issuing title insurance, can be handled by non-attorney staff working under an attorney's supervision, but the closing requires a lawyer.
Do you handle billboard leases outside Georgia?
Yes. Our outdoor-advertising real estate work covers billboard companies operating throughout the Southeast and Northeast.
Do you work with out-of-state buyers or sellers?
Yes, we regularly close transactions for clients who live out of state or are purchasing Georgia property from elsewhere.
