Credit unions have trusted us for 30 years. Here's what they value most:

A question we hear often: "How much are my closing costs going to be for my Georgia residential property?"

Our answer: expect Georgia residential closing costs, including any lender fees, to range from 2% to 5% of the property's purchase price. Where you land in that range depends on a couple of factors, mainly the transaction type and the loan amount.

That's the kind of question we break down in our newsletter every month, real numbers instead of vague estimates.

Closing deals is about more than paperwork. It's about relationships. For 30 years, we've built trust with credit unions and lenders across five states by doing one thing really well: making real estate closings smooth and straightforward.

When you work with us, you get attorneys who pick up the phone, answer your emails, and solve problems instead of creating them. That's what partnership looks like.

Did you know Sherman & Phalen handles closings in Alabama too?

We're often known for our work across Georgia, but our coverage spans across five southeastern states: Georgia, Florida, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Alabama. All under one roof, with one consistent process no matter where your deal is.

To make that even easier, we've just added Alabama to our online closing costs calculator. Whether you're a lender, credit union, or real estate professional working a deal there, you can get a clear estimate in minutes.

One firm. Five states. Zero complexity.

If you're closing deals in South Carolina, homeowners' insurance costs deserve a closer look right now.

The state's average annual premium sits around $2,708, already above the national average, and it's not leveling off. South Carolina saw some of the steepest rate increases in the country in 2025, with premiums climbing around 20%. Coastal markets like Myrtle Beach have even greater exposure, with some homeowners paying as much as $445 a month due to hurricane and storm-surge risk.

For lenders and investors, this isn't just a homeowner problem. Rising insurance costs change what a buyer can afford, shift debt service ratios, and can quietly kill a deal that looked solid on paper. The earlier you account for it, the better.

We regularly close South Carolina transactions and know this terrain. When the insurance questions come up (and they will), we're already prepared to keep things moving.

You know what we don't do? We don't inflate problems to justify billing more hours.

When title issues come up, we find solutions. We don't turn a fixable problem into a three-week delay because we're too lazy to research the answer. Our clients appreciate that we're focused on closing deals, not padding invoices.

It's part of being a real partner instead of just a vendor.

Work with attorneys who solve problems rather than create them. Get started here: https://shermanphalenlaw.com/contact-us/
