George PLLC

John G. George, Jr. is a renowned attorney, consultant, speaker, and businessman with deep ties to the Texas real estate profession. 

For over 16 years, John has been a trusted advisor for prominent real estate industry professionals and principals who seek out his unique ability to advise on both legal and practical considerations.

John serves as the Co-Chair of the Texas Real Estate Commission Broker-Lawyer Committee to which the President of the State Bar of Texas twice appointed John to six-year terms (2017-2023/2023-2029). John’s colleagues on the committee elected him Co-Chair in 2022. 

In 2024, the Texas A&M University Texas Real Estate Research Center appointed John to the drafting committee for the TREC mandatory Legal Update 1 & 2 and Broker Responsibility continuing education classes. In this role, John is one of two “instructors of instructors” who teach the class required before any person may teach Legal Update 1 & 2 and Broker Responsibility to Texas real estate brokers and agents.

John frequently speaks at trade association conferences, broker events, and continuing education classes. For booking opportunities, please contact bookings@georgepllc.com.

Building on his desire to raise the bar and educate parties in real estate transactions, John founded Special Provisions, LLC which provides in-depth analysis of real estate contracts and legal issues, broker/agent risk-management applications, continuing education, and extensive self-help legal resources. 

John began his legal career trying complex jury and bench trials in state, federal, and bankruptcy courts across Texas and the nation for clients ranging from individuals to Fortune 50 companies. Over time, John’s passion for real estate transitioned his practice into advising real estate brokers/agents, buyers/sellers, lenders, and title companies in multiple capacities while he also pursued various business interests. In 2019, John co-founded an independent title agency, Hometown Title, and served as Chief Operating Officer and General Counsel. In addition to managing the organization, John personally closed hundreds of residential, commercial, and farm and ranch transactions. He successfully divested his interest in Hometown Title in 2023.

*Brokerage Formation, Governance, and Operations

*REALTOR® Association Ethics Complaints and Commission Disputes

*Consulting and Testifying Expert Witness Engagements

Clients frequently call John the “least lawyer-like lawyer until the situation requires it.” John takes great pride in this reputation, and his ability to relate to his clients and their situations arises from having walked in their shoes as an attorney, real estate agent, escrow officer, and business owner.
