Harrisburg, Pennsylvania Real Estate Transaction Lawyers
At the Harrisburg law firm of Beinhaur & Curcillo, we handle the full range of real estate transactions from purchase to sale, residential to commercial 1031 tax-free exchanges, and refinancing for clients in south-central Pennsylvania. Our in-house title insurance agency, Colonial Land Transfer, Ltd., can handle anything from the small house on the corner for a first-time home buyer to a major commercial development. Whatever your real estate transaction needs may be, our law firm can assist you.
If you are entering into a real estate transaction, there are three important rules to consider:
- Don't ever go into a real estate transaction without a lawyer. A real estate purchase agreement is the largest collection of fine print you will ever see, and every line and box you initial is there for a reason. You may end up waiving important rights, or not providing yourself wit protection.
- If you are directed to use a title insurance company that is partnered with the real estate agent, mortgage company or developer, you should be aware that you will be the only person in the transaction who isn't represented. Everyone at the closing table is representing themselves or the seller, and no one has your interests in mind. You will be alone and unprotected, spending the largest sum of money in your life.
- For this reason, see rule number 1 again.
When you hire Beinhaur & Curcillo to represent your interests as a buyer or seller in a real estate transaction, you can be assured that your interest is our only interest. We do not represent banks, developers or real estate agents during your transaction. We are not concerned about winning or losing a commission, only in making sure that your interests are served.
