The short answer
No wholesaling-specific statute — but Georgia closings run through attorneys, not title companies, and that changes your paperwork plan. Below is the plain-English version of the rules Wise Revival operates under in Georgia — assignment, disclosure, licensing, and marketing — taken from the statute material reviewed through our legal gate.
Assignment: what the law allows
- Georgia has no wholesaling-specific disclosure statute (confirmed in Wise Revival's Georgia legal gate) — assignment runs on your contract language. If you intend to assign, your contract has to allow it.
- What Georgia changes is not whether you can assign, but how the deal closes once you do.
Disclosure and licensing requirements
- There is no Georgia statute requiring a wholesale-buyer disclosure, seller notice, or seller cancellation right of the kind some other states impose.
- Georgia is an attorney-closing state: only a duly licensed Georgia attorney may prepare or facilitate execution of a deed of conveyance (Supreme Court UPL Advisory Opinion No. 2003-2).
- Witness-only or notary-only closings are the unauthorized practice of law — a misdemeanor under O.C.G.A. §15-19-56.
- Georgia's Good Funds Law (O.C.G.A. §44-14-13) reserves collecting and disbursing closing funds to attorneys and lenders.
Marketing: where operators get in trouble
- No wholesaling-specific marketing statute applies, but the closing rules shape the deal: when a Georgia contract is assigned, the end buyer's closing still runs through a Georgia closing attorney — plan the timeline and the paperwork around that from day one, not at the end.
The Georgia operator checklist
- Contract language that expressly allows assignment.
- A Georgia closing attorney engaged for the closing — deeds are attorney work in Georgia.
- Closing funds collected and disbursed by the attorney or lender, per the Good Funds Law.
- No witness-only or notary-only deed closings.

Common questions
Is wholesaling legal in Georgia?
Georgia has no wholesaling-specific disclosure statute, so assignment runs on your contract language. The trap is elsewhere: Georgia closings run through attorneys, and deed work by non-attorneys is the unauthorized practice of law.
Can a title company close my Georgia deal?
Georgia is an attorney-closing state. Only a duly licensed Georgia attorney may prepare or facilitate execution of a deed of conveyance, and the Good Funds Law reserves collecting and disbursing closing funds to attorneys and lenders.
Does an assigned Georgia contract change who closes?
No. When a Georgia contract is assigned, the end buyer's closing still runs through a Georgia closing attorney.
