When you need the advice of a real estate attorney in Maryland, the Law Office of Stephen L.

Tax Lien Foreclosures - We secure our clients’ investments by performing the diligence tasks necessary to ensure a sound lien certificate purchase, including review of LTD’s, assessment information, exclusions, and drive by diligence (for informal valuations). Our staff tracks vital information into a database to maximize our knowledge of tax lien foreclosures in a given area. Contact us to learn more about our services. Mortgage Foreclosures – We assist institutional lenders throughout the State of Maryland through the foreclosure process. Our expertise in the foreclosure area extends from residential properties to the most complicated commercial properties. To learn more about our services, contact us. Residential Settlements - Whether you are refinancing your home, upgrading to a larger home, or selling your “empty nest”, an attorney is beneficial in resolving residential real estate issues. We protect your interests at sales closings, and help you execute your transaction so you can “move” forward as soon as possible. To learn more about residential settlements, contact us. Title Insurance – When you purchase real estate, you can see the land, the buildings, the landscaping and the view. However, there is one important thing you cannot see—the title to the land. Surprisingly, the quality of any title is not always definite. Having an attorney review the previous owner’s title will cover you if a problem regarding legal ownership arises that was not discovered during the initial title search. The Law Office of Stephen L. Harker can ensure that your purchase is unimpeded by conducting the proper title search and issuing a title policy. To find out more about title insurance, contact us. General Real Estate – We advise individuals and businesses in the process of selling or purchasing real estate. This includes reviewing and preparing purchase agreements, title searches, and all other necessary tasks to reduce the potential risks inherent in real estate sales. Mr. Harker is very familiar with the laws and regulations governing real estate transactions in the State of Maryland. His clients rely on his ability to effectively negotiate within the nuances of any real estate transaction and to "close the deal." To learn more about how we can facilitate your transaction, contact us. From our office in Bel Air, we serve clients in Baltimore and Harford counties, as well as their surrounding areas. |
