Mobile Notary Support for Real Estate
Georgia is an attorney-closing state
An attorney closing state is a state that requires a lawyer to attend or supervise the closing of real estate transactions. In these states, lawyers ensure the legal requirements of the purchase or refinance loan are met, and that the interests of seller, buyer, or borrower are protected.
The State of Georgia places a high regard on the presence and participation of closing attorneys or agents in real estate transactions. While an attorney must maintain supervision of the process, a Notary may still handle the notarization of loan documents.

What is a Settlement Agent?
Settlement agents, also known as closing agents, are third party intermediaries who help the buyer and seller to finalize real property loan transactions through the transfer of securities to the buyer and the transfer of compensation to the seller.
A settlement agent for loan closing transactions can be an escrow officer, real estate attorney or title company representative that conducts the closing or "settlement" of a residential or commercial property purchase. They also function as a liaison coordinating the attendance and document signing services for all parties, and the verification that each side has performed their Notary required responsibilities as outlined in the contract.
