Negative Experience with Closing Attorney: As a small business with a significant volume of closings, we encountered a frustrating experience when a buyer requested to use this closing attorney. Despite our request to pre-sign documents early due to an impending hurricane (Helene), we were charged additional fees for this convenience. Furthermore, the settlement statement was not provided until the morning of closing, causing unnecessary stress. Shortly after the scheduled closing time, the attorney requested a contract amendment, threatening to delay the closing unless it was immediately completed. This unexpected demand, which had not been discussed during the entire contract period, was highly unprofessional. Based on these negative experiences, we cannot recommend this attorney for f

I was absolutely blown away by Haley's commitment to meeting the short closing date on the sale of my late sister's house. Especially after the underwriters threw us a big curveball by not accepting our quitclaim deed that was filed and accepted by the county. She worked with us to locate a reclusive, unreachable, homeless relative in Colorado! And even handled very messy family negotiations which ultimately ended in not only meeting the closing deadline, but even brought more open communication with that family member. It could have gone so badly! But she handled everything very professionally and, more importantly, with kindness and understanding. I was under so much stress and grief -- I couldn't have been her favorite call of the day, but her positivity and calm demeanor set the

I worked with the team of O'Kelley & Sorohan remotely on the closing of my home in Atlanta. It was a tough situation because I was out of the country and my sale happened so quickly -- the buyer requested to close within 2 weeks of the offer. The team was amazing - I was skeptical that we were going to be able to make it, as I have bought and sold homes before, but they got everything done -- ahead of time. They were also excellent with communication, quick to answer all of my questions, very detailed and accurate on all of my paperwork, and super flexible with my situation of being absent at closing. I highly recommend them for your property closing needs in Atlanta!

I have no other experiences for comparison, but I wasn't impressed. There was a minor error in our closing paperwork; the closing attorney had received our survey but written the paperwork as though no survey had been requested. There was a different attorney at closing. The person in charge of escrow accounts was non-responsive. I called at 8:30 before wiring and then again at 9:15 after wiring. I received no return call and my partner didn't get a response to his email. When a call was picked up in the afternoon, there wasn't any real tracking of the funds. Just a giant list of transactions for the day had to be searched.

The closing went smooth, however I closed on Friday and I was told to my check would be at the Midtown location on Monday. I call Monday to see if my commission check was ready and I was told it was at the Duluth location. I emailed the pre-closing rep the location I wanted to close at (which was the midtown location) so they already knew I wanted to pick up my check from midtown location. It is now Tuesday and I still do not have my commission check for selling my property. I’m a bit annoyed just because I was asked which location I wanted to use and I choose the midtown location and now I have to wait for someone to cancel a check from the Dulth office. I don’t like to wait for my money. I think someone needs to pay better attention to where checks are distributed. Just made my exp
