Georgia State Financing & Investment Commission, operating as Gurvey Law, has been a trusted name in Georgia Real Estate Law since 2001. Located in Brookhaven, GA, this firm prides itself on being Georgia's MOST investor friendly closing attorney. They are dedicated to providing comprehensive legal services for a wide array of real estate transactions, ensuring smooth and professional closings for all clients.

The firm specializes in assisting real estate investors with complex scenarios, offering expert guidance and services for:

• Subject-To Transactions: Navigating the intricacies of properties acquired subject to existing financing.
• Wires & JV Agreements: Providing information and assistance with joint venture agreements and wire transfers.
• TRUSTS: Expertise in transactions involving properties held in trust.
• Assignments & Double Closings: Offering detailed support and legal counsel for wholesale transactions, including contract assignments and simultaneous (double) closings.
• Earnest Money A to Z: Clear and consistent guidance on the correct handling of earnest money deposits (EMD), emphasizing Georgia's legal requirements and best practices to avoid breaches of contract.

Gurvey Law maintains a strong stance on the professional handling of Earnest Money, clarifying that while Georgia does not mandate EMD for a contract's validity, its presence significantly impacts seller interest. They provide crucial insights for investors, particularly regarding double closings where separate EMD obligations may arise for each contract. The firm stresses the importance of written authorization for using an end buyer's EMD and advises against signing contracts without the means to fulfill EMD obligations. Their commitment is to ensure all parties understand their responsibilities, promoting transparency and adherence to contractual terms.
