Locally owned. Built on professionalism.

Neel, Robinson & Stafford is locally owned and operated. We’re an Atlanta firm, not a national title chain, and we’ve served metro Atlanta for over 30 years. Our paralegals and attorneys are involved in every detail of your file, so issues are resolved early, not at the table.

Our practice concentrates on four areas of law: residential real estate closings, commercial real estate, estate planning and probate. We work as hard for our agents and lenders as they work for their buyers and sellers.

Buyers

Know exactly what to bring: one valid, unexpired photo ID, your homeowner’s insurance for our review, and your funds sent the right way.

Buyer checklist

Sellers

We handle payoffs, HOA letters and last-minute adjustments so your final net is right the first time.

Seller checklist

Real Estate Agents

The agent-attorney partnership is what makes a closing run smoothly. We work as hard for you as you do for your buyers and sellers.

Lenders

We’re here to work together: an open line to our team, fast responses and quick turnaround times.

How We Work

Our four keys of professional service.

Every closing we handle is built on the same four commitments. They’re why agents and lenders have sent us their clients for more than three decades.

  1. Legal Competence

    Attorneys and paralegals are involved in every detail, and every file is carefully checked for accuracy before closing.

  2. Considerate

    Your time is valuable, so we keep you informed throughout the process, from the first call to the closing table.

  3. Responsible & Reliable

    We return calls sooner rather than later, answer emails promptly and keep track of every instruction and special request.

  4. Education & Technology

    Ongoing training for our team, and regular legal tips we share with Atlanta’s real estate community.

Wire Fraud Warning

Our wiring instructions will not change.

Wire fraud is one of the biggest risks in any real estate closing, and we take it very seriously. Before you send or receive a wire, please call us at a number you know is ours to confirm the instructions. We’re always glad to check.

Questions

Good questions, plainly answered.

Still have questions? Call 404.459.9600, Monday through Friday, 8:30am to 5:30pm Eastern.

How do I send my funds for closing?
Under the NRS Good Funds Policy, all funds due at closing by all parties are wired to the NRS escrow account before your closing, so everyone can be paid on closing day. Before you wire, please call us at a number you know is ours and we’ll confirm the instructions with you.
What identification do I need to bring?
Buyers and sellers each need one valid, unexpired form of photo identification. Please also bring any original documents requested by our firm, your agent or your lender.
Why do I need owner’s title insurance if an attorney examined the title?
No examination, however thorough, can reveal hidden defects such as forgery, deeds from minors, missing heirs or similar names. An owner’s policy insures you against these risks for a one-time premium, for as long as you own the home.
What if I can’t attend the closing?
We’ll help you plan for it. Let us know as soon as possible and we’ll walk you through your options. Additional approvals and fees may apply.
Can you accommodate special requests?
Yes. We’re happy to arrange wheelchair access, welcome language translators or schedule separate closing times. Please let us know in advance. Additional fees may apply.
