Commercial real estate in Northeast Georgia — from retail strip centers in Gainesville to industrial properties in Barrow County — involves legal issues that residential transactions simply do not. GA Law Group provides the comprehensive commercial real estate counsel that buyers, sellers, developers, and lenders need.
Commercial Acquisitions and Sales
GA Law Group represents buyers and sellers in commercial property transactions — conducting legal due diligence, negotiating purchase contracts, reviewing existing leases and tenant estoppels, addressing title issues, coordinating with lenders and 1031 exchange intermediaries, and conducting the closing.
Due Diligence
Commercial real estate due diligence covers: title examination, survey review, zoning and land use compliance, existing lease review and tenant estoppels, environmental site assessment review, access and easement analysis, and review of municipal liens and special assessments. GA Law Group identifies issues during due diligence — while you can still negotiate or walk away — rather than after closing when the problems become yours.
1031 Exchange Coordination
A Section 1031 like-kind exchange allows property owners to defer capital gains tax by reinvesting the proceeds from a property sale into a new qualifying property. The exchange rules are technical and the deadlines are strict. GA Law Group coordinates with qualified intermediaries to ensure the exchange is structured correctly and completed on time.
