2018 Georgia Super Lawyer Selection

Written by Joel Gerber. Posted in Real Estate

I was recently notified by the Super Lawyers publication that I was selected to the 2018 Georgia Super Lawyers list. Only 5% of attorneys in the State of Georgia receive this distinction. I am honored to have been selected to this prestigious group of lawyers for the second year in a row (you have to be 40 to qualify). What is special about this this statewide honor is that the list is selected in part by my peers in the legal profession. I love what I do, but couldn’t do it without the incredible support of the Realtors, builders, lenders and clients that continue to trust me and my firm. Also, it goes without saying that I am nothing without my team.

Mid-Year Thoughts

Written by Joel Gerber. Posted in Real Estate

As we move into the second half of the year I just wanted to take a few moments to express my sincere gratitude to all of the Realtors, lenders and clients that have given me the opportunity to help them this year. And what a year it has been so far! There is nothing that makes me happier than to see the Realtors I work with succeed. Not only are they successful but they are true professionals. Thank you for always holding me and my team to the highest of standards as that is what you and your clients deserve and must expect. I am especially grateful to those of you who let me know anytime we are not meeting your expectations. It’s the only way we can get better. Enjoy the rest of your summer and I wish each of you a safe and prosperous remainder of 2018.

As always, if you need help with anything at all, please do not hesitate to contact me anytime at (912) 484-1996 (even nights and weekends) or email me at jgerber@brannenlaw.com.
