Stacey A. George

Exceptional guidance through a complex commercial property acquisition

As a small business owner expanding our operations, we needed to navigate the purchase of a multi-use commercial property in Grand Rapids. The transaction quickly became complicated due to zoning issues and seller contingencies. We engaged Stacey George at Varnum LLP based on a strong recommendation, and it was the best decision we could have made. Stacey’s deep, 21-year background in real estate law was immediately evident. She meticulously reviewed every document, clearly explained the implications of each clause in terms we could understand, and proactively identified potential title concerns that could have caused significant problems down the line. Her recognition by Best Lawyers in Real Estate Law is well-deserved and was reflected in her strategic approach. Stacey negotiated firmly on our behalf, securing crucial concessions and ensuring a clean closing. Beyond her technical expertise, her professionalism and calm demeanor kept what could have been a stressful process remarkably smooth. We achieved a fantastic outcome and have secured Stacey as our ongoing counsel for all future real estate and business legal matters. Her experience is an invaluable asset.
