George A. Contis

Expert guidance through a complex commercial property purchase

I engaged George Contis at Giarmarco, Mullins & Horton to assist with the acquisition of a multi-unit commercial property in Detroit. The transaction quickly became complicated due to unexpected title issues and restrictive covenants from a prior sale. George’s focused expertise in real estate law was immediately apparent. He calmly dissected the problems, explaining our options with clarity and without unnecessary jargon. Drawing on his experience, he devised a practical strategy that involved negotiating with the seller's attorneys and title company to secure the necessary indemnifications and revisions, all while keeping the deal on track. His recognition in the field of real estate law is well-deserved. What impressed me most was his proactive communication; I was never left wondering about the status. The closing proceeded smoothly, and we secured the property with all protections in place. For anyone in Michigan needing diligent, strategic counsel on a real estate matter, I cannot recommend George Contis highly enough.
