For Georgia real estate attorneys

Prepared sellers, at no cost to your firm.

An advertising and matching platform that puts your firm in front of Georgia home sellers who have already completed a structured property intake — and takes nothing from your fee.

What we are

Disclose & Close is a Georgia technology and document-preparation company. We give home sellers a free, plain-English intake that produces a seller's property disclosure draft formatted to the GAR F301 template. We do not interpret law, advise sellers, or evaluate their answers. Our platform records facts; every legal judgment belongs to the attorney.

A meaningful share of sellers who complete that intake realise they want a lawyer. Today most of them do not know one. That is the moment your firm becomes visible to them.

Advertising, not a referral — and why we are strict about it

Georgia Rule of Professional Conduct 7.3 prohibits a lawyer from giving anything of value to a person for recommending the lawyer's services, while permitting a lawyer to pay the reasonable cost of advertising. That line runs straight through the middle of what a platform like ours can be, so we have built on the correct side of it deliberately:

We are stating this plainly because you will have to satisfy yourself and your own counsel that participating is consistent with your obligations. We would rather you interrogate the structure now than discover a problem in it later.

What you receive

What it costs you

Nothing, today.

No participation fee. No subscription. No per-matter charge. No share of anything you bill. You never pay us, and we never pay you.

If we ever do charge participating firms, it would be for advertising and platform access, disclosed in advance. What it will never be is an amount that rises because a particular seller engaged you, or that is calculated from what you earn. That is the line Georgia Rule 7.3 draws, and we intend to stay well clear of it.

How we actually make money

You should know this before you sign anything, and we would rather tell you than have you wonder.

The seller pays us. You do not. Our revenue is per transaction, from the seller, for our own non-legal products: $75 for the Pre-Consultation Intake Preparation Package if they book a consult, and $499 for the Seller Prep Package if they go to closing. Ten sellers going to closing means we are paid ten times, and it means you are paid ten times by those same ten sellers. Two separate businesses being paid by the same customer for two different things.

What never happens is money moving between your firm and ours. We do not take a cut of your $1,500. You do not pay us for the client. Our fee does not come out of yours, and yours does not come out of ours. If our commercial interests ever pulled against that separation, the separation wins — it is the only reason a non-lawyer can operate this platform at all.

How the money actually moves

Each engagement is two independent transactions with two separate merchants of record:

The seller pays you

For your legal services, at the price you set, under your own engagement letter, through your own payment rails, into your own operating or trust account in accordance with Georgia Rule 1.15.

We never collect, hold, remit, or share in any part of your fee.

The seller pays us

For our intake preparation and coordination products, which are technology and document-preparation services, not legal services.

You never collect, hold, or share in any part of our fee.

The seller sees two line items, completes two checkouts, and receives two receipts from two different businesses. This is deliberate. It is what keeps the arrangement clear of Georgia Rule of Professional Conduct 5.4(a), and it is not something we are willing to simplify for convenience.

You set your own fees

The network publishes indicative pricing so sellers know roughly what to expect — a 45-minute consultation and flat-fee closing representation. Those are your prices, not ours. You set them, you publish them, you bill them, and you collect them. We do not set, negotiate, discount, or guarantee any fee you charge, and we do not hold you to a price you did not choose.

Your independence

What we ask of you

Where this stands

Disclose & Close is pre-launch. We are looking for a small number of founding Georgia attorneys to help shape how this works before it opens to the public. The partnership agreement has been through four rounds of legal review, and we would expect your own counsel to read it closely.

Talk to us

Email hello@discloseandclose.com with your firm name, your bar number, and the counties you close in, and we will send the agreement and set up a call.

Disclose & Close is not a law firm and does not practise law. Any attorney considering participation should review the agreement with their own counsel and satisfy themselves independently as to their obligations under the Georgia Rules of Professional Conduct.
