Real Estate Agents

You work hard every day to earn your good reputation in the industry. We honor and do all we can to enhance that.

Weissman has an unparalleled expertise on issues specific to real estate agents and brokers and many of our attorneys spend their professional careers focused on nothing else. The firm is experienced in all areas of real estate law with multiple resources for problem solving.

Contracts

Do you ever have questions about contracts? As General Counsel for the Georgia REALTORS® (GAR), Seth Weissman assists in preparing the forms used by GAR. As conditions and laws change, our firm helps insure that contracts remain up to date and insure a successful closing for all parties. As a result of our expertise in drafting contracts used in thousands of transactions in the past 25 years, no one knows contract law better.

Brokerage Counseling

We counsel agents and brokers on avoiding liability and how to anticipate potential problems and avoid disputes. We represent agents and brokers before the Georgia Real Estate Commission (GREC) and routinely handle brokerage and property manager relationship, commission, and agency matters. No one knows the laws better -- we drafted the revised Brokerage Relationships In Real Estate Transactions Act (BRRETA) and interpret state statutes and GREC rules that impact real estate agents every day.
