Why You Need an Experienced Georgia and South Carolina Real Estate Closing Attorney
The states of Georgia and South Carolina require that a lawyer guide you through the real estate closing process. Your lawyer needs to make sure you understand the terms and conditions of the sale and explain any state or county laws that apply to your transaction. The buyer and the seller need to work with their own lawyers as a lawyer can only represent one party at the closing.

Whether you are a buyer or seller, we will protect your rights and help you effectively close your real estate transaction.

Residential Real Estate Closings in South Carolina and Georgia
For many of us, purchasing a home is one of the most significant investments of our lifetime. At Bannon Law Group, LLC, our lawyers have helped many South Carolina and Georgia residents purchase a home. Whether you are buying your dream home or you are purchasing your starter home, one of our skilled real estate lawyers can help you navigate the entire closing process. Real estate documents are not written in plain English. They contain technical and legal language, making it challenging for the average person to understand their obligations and rights under the law.
A dedicated Georgia and South Carolina real estate closing attorney from our firm will carefully review your closing documents to ensure that there are no red flags and help you understand all of the terms of your agreement. We will assist you with the contract signing through the closing. Unfortunately, buyers and sellers do not always agree on the purchase agreement terms. When a dispute arises, delays and litigation can happen. Conflicts that commonly occur in residential real estate transactions include the following:
- What items are included in the real estate sale
- Whether repairs need to be made to the property
- When possession of the property will occur, and
- Issues related to land use and zoning

Refinancing
An important part of purchasing a home is obtaining the lowest interest rate possible. Refinancing your home can help you take advantage of lowering your debt payments, making home improvements, or paying out bills. Many people do not consider all of the benefits of working with an attorney to help with their refinancing transactions. At Bannon Law Group, LLC, we have assisted many clients in refinancing their homes. We will work with your preferred lender to ensure that all available title insurance discounts and other discounts have been utilized. We will also ensure that the closing is handled quickly to avoid wasting your money or time on your refinance.
Real Estate Owned (REO) Closings
A Real Estate Owned (REO) closing involves a sale in which the seller is a lender, government loan insurer, or governmental agencies. Most REO closings occur due to a foreclosure on a defaulted mortgage loan. If you are purchasing an REO home, it is crucial that you work with an attorney who knows all of the additional legal requirements in these types of complex cases.
Not every South Carolina or Georgia attorney understands the nuances of REO transactions. At Bannon Law Group, LLC, our attorneys have the necessary legal knowledge and experience to provide you with excellent representation in your REO closing. We will work to make REO closing as painless and smooth as possible.
