In Georgia, funds due at closing in amounts exceeding $5,000.00 must be wired. Due to an increase in Wire Fraud, we have implemented the use of ClosingLock: an easy-to-use solution to validate your identity and securely share our wiring instructions. Prior to your closing, you will receive a link to ClosingLock. You can make your payment directly through their portal or download a copy of our wiring instructions to take to your bank.
If you are receiving funds from a closing at our office (either as sales proceeds or from a refinance of your property), you have the choice of receiving a check (which your bank may put a hold on) or a wire transfer (which is immediately available to you as soon as it posts to your bank account). In order to protect against wire fraud, we use ClosingLock: an easy-to-use solution to validate your identity and securely share your wiring instructions with us. Prior to your closing, you will receive a link to ClosingLock so that you can securely upload your banking information to us.
If you not a Georgia Resident, but are selling Georgia Property, you may be required to pay a Withholding Tax at closing. We will ask you to complete this form before closing to determine your tax liability. We cannot advise you on tax issues, so please consult with a tax professional if you need help completing this form.
