GRECAA was instrumental in the passage of the Georgia “Good Funds” law found at O.C.G.A. 44-14-13. In 1999, GRECAA proposed the concept of canceling old open loan deeds by Attorney Affidavit, resulting in the creation of O.C.G.A. 44-14-3 (c.1). Numerous other legislative bills have been dropped, amended or outright rejected due to GRECAA’s involvement.

GRECAA currently has over 175 members, comprised of individual practitioners as well as major real estate closing firms in the Atlanta metropolitan area and other cities across the state of Georgia. GRECAA, INC. looks forward to working with all parties involved to ensure that real estate closings in Georgia continue to be conducted in a professional, affordable and consumer-friendly manner in the future.
