Sending funds to our office - Wiring Instructions
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 CertifID: an easy-to-use solution to validate your identity and securely share our wiring instructions before funds are transferred.

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 CertifID: an easy-to-use solution to validate your identity and securely share your wiring instructions with us.
