I have an SBA 7A closing for real estate coming up in the next 2 months.
In Georgia (they require an attorney for residential closings, do they require an attorney for commercial closings) 

&amp;#x200B;

What are all the steps involved?

&amp;#x200B;

And which of these steps can I hire someone to do?

&amp;#x200B;

I know of the following:

Appraisal: Bid out to a 3rd party, I pay for the service and am reimbursed at closing.

ESA report: Bid out to a 3rd party, I pay for the service and am reimbursed at closing.

Lenders Attorney: Draws up all documents for me to sign.

Title: I believe I can hire this service What does it actually really do though?)

Closing Attorney: I can hire this person, What are their duties and how much overlap between the closing Attorney and the Lender's Attorney is there?  Is there a special certification for SBA closing attorney?
