The best first step is a conversation. We'll talk through your goals, budget, and timeline, and I'll connect you with a trusted local lender to get pre-approved. Pre-approval gives you a clear picture of what you can afford and puts you in the strongest possible position when you find the right home. From there, I guide you through every step — from finding the right property to negotiating the best terms and closing with confidence.

I work with buyers throughout Dauphin, Cumberland, and Perry counties, including Harrisburg, Camp Hill, Mechanicsburg, Hershey, Linglestown, Lower Paxton Township, Enola, Lemoyne, and surrounding Central Pennsylvania communities. If you're not sure whether an area falls within my coverage, just ask.

I strongly recommend it. Pre-approval tells you exactly what you can afford, makes your offer more competitive when you find the right home, and speeds up the process significantly. In a market like Central PA — where well-priced homes still move quickly — being ready to act matters. I can connect you with trusted local lenders who know this market well.

From the time you start seriously looking to closing day, most buyers are looking at 60 to 90 days, though it can move faster or slower depending on your situation. The search phase varies widely — some clients find their home in a few weeks, others take a few months. Once you have a signed contract, closing typically takes 30 to 60 days. Being pre-approved and knowing what you want shortens the timeline considerably.

The Harrisburg-area market has seen consistent appreciation over the past several years. Median home prices vary significantly by community — from the mid-$200s in some Harrisburg city neighborhoods to $400,000 and above in desirable suburbs like Camp Hill, Mechanicsburg, and Hershey. For current pricing in a specific neighborhood or zip code, I'm happy to pull real-time data for you.

Absolutely — relocation is one of my specialties. I work with buyers moving to Central PA for work, family, or lifestyle reasons on a regular basis. I can do video tours, help you understand neighborhood differences without visiting in person, and guide you through the entire process remotely until you're ready to visit and make a decision. The Harrisburg area is consistently ranked as one of the most affordable and livable markets in the Northeast, and I enjoy helping people discover what makes it a great place to call home.

Yes. New construction can be a great option, but it's important to have independent representation — the builder's agent works for the builder, not for you. I represent buyers through the entire new construction process, from lot selection and floor plan decisions to negotiating upgrades, reviewing the contract, and managing the walkthrough and closing.

I offer free, no-obligation home valuations based on current market data and my deep knowledge of local neighborhoods. I don't just pull numbers from an algorithm — I look at recent sales, active competition, neighborhood trends, and your home's specific features to give you an honest, realistic picture of value. You can request a valuation at HarrisburgForSale.com or call me directly at (717) 215-0917.

The honest answer is: it depends on your situation. The market is stable and inventory remains relatively low, which generally supports pricing for sellers. But the more important question is whether selling aligns with your next move. If you have somewhere to go and a reason to sell, this market rewards homes that are priced accurately and presented well. I'm happy to talk through the timing, the numbers, and what to expect before you make any decisions.

Homes that are priced correctly and marketed well in the Central PA market are typically selling in days to a few weeks in desirable areas. Homes that are overpriced or poorly presented can sit for months. Days on market varies by price range, neighborhood, and condition. I'll give you honest expectations upfront — not a number designed to win your listing.

A few things set my approach apart. I invest in professional photography for every listing — it's one of the highest-impact things you can do for online visibility. I use targeted digital marketing across multiple platforms to reach active buyers. And I price based on real data, not wishful thinking. I also have the backing of RSR, REALTORS — one of Central PA's most established firms — and a team that includes my father Jim and brother Jeffrey, which means deep local relationships and resources behind every transaction.

Pennsylvania sellers typically pay a real estate commission, a transfer tax (Pennsylvania charges 2% of the sale price, split evenly between buyer and seller — so 1% each), and miscellaneous closing fees. Depending on your situation, you may also have prorated property taxes, HOA fees, or payoff costs. I walk every seller through a full net proceeds estimate before listing so there are no surprises at closing.

Not always — it depends on your home, your price point, and your timeline. Some updates deliver strong returns; others don't. I help sellers make smart decisions about what's worth doing and what isn't, based on what buyers in your specific market actually care about. Sometimes the best strategy is pricing to reflect condition rather than spending money on improvements that won't add value.

Yes — and it's one I believe in personally. Central PA offers strong fundamentals for investors: relative affordability compared to major metros, a stable rental demand driven by state government employment, healthcare (Penn State Health and UPMC), and a growing employer base, and consistent long-term appreciation. The Harrisburg-Carlisle area ranked #7 on the WSJ/Realtor.com Spring 2025 Housing Market Index, reflecting strong demand and quality-of-life metrics. I hold the CCIM designation, which gives me a strong analytical foundation for evaluating investment opportunities.

I work with investors across a wide range of asset types — single-family rentals, multi-family properties, commercial investment real estate (including NNN properties), land for development, and mixed-use opportunities. Whether you're buying your first rental property or building a portfolio, I can help you evaluate opportunities, analyze returns, and make informed decisions.

My CCIM training gives me a rigorous framework for investment analysis — cap rates, cash-on-cash return, internal rate of return, and long-term appreciation potential. I look at the numbers honestly, including the costs buyers sometimes overlook: vacancy rates, maintenance reserves, property management, and financing assumptions. I'd rather pass on a deal than push you into something that doesn't pencil.

Yes. I regularly work with investors using 1031 exchanges to defer capital gains and redeploy equity into Central PA properties. The timelines are strict, so it's important to have an agent who understands the process and can move efficiently. I work closely with qualified intermediaries and real estate attorneys to make sure the exchange is handled correctly.

I work across the full spectrum of commercial real estate — office, retail, industrial, warehouse, medical, and mixed-use properties, as well as commercial land and development parcels. I represent buyers, sellers, landlords, and tenants throughout the Greater Harrisburg area and Central Pennsylvania. My CCIM designation — the most respected credential in commercial real estate — underpins everything I do in this space.

CCIM stands for Certified Commercial Investment Member. It's an internationally recognized designation earned through rigorous coursework in financial analysis, market analysis, user decision analysis, and investment analysis — plus a comprehensive exam and a portfolio of qualifying transactions. Only a small percentage of commercial real estate practitioners hold the designation. In Central PA, it's relatively rare, which means I bring a level of analytical depth to commercial transactions that most agents simply don't have.

Yes — tenant representation is an important part of what I do. If you're a business looking for office, retail, or industrial space in Central Pennsylvania, I represent your interests exclusively in the search and negotiation process. Most landlords have professional representation; you should too. My services as a tenant rep are typically at no cost to you — the landlord pays the commission.

Absolutely. I work with developers, investors, and end users on commercial land acquisitions throughout Dauphin, Cumberland, and Perry counties. Whether you're looking for a development site, an infill parcel, or agricultural land with commercial potential, I can help you identify opportunities, evaluate feasibility, and navigate the transaction.

I've been in real estate since 2011, joining my father Jim Koury at RSR, REALTORS right after graduating from Penn State. That's 15+ years working exclusively in the Central Pennsylvania market across residential, commercial, investment, and land transactions. I was born and raised in the Harrisburg area — this is my home, and I take real pride in knowing it well.

I'm licensed and active throughout Dauphin, Cumberland, and Perry counties, including Harrisburg, Camp Hill, Mechanicsburg, Hershey, Linglestown, Lower Paxton Township, Enola, Lemoyne, Carlisle, and surrounding Central PA communities. I also work in Lancaster and York Counties and other parts of South Central Pennsylvania when the situation calls for it.

I can represent both buyers and sellers, but never on the same transaction without full disclosure and consent from all parties. When I represent you, my job is to advocate for your interests. I take that seriously.

The easiest way is a call or text at (717) 215-0917. You can also reach me by email at [email protected] or through the contact form at HarrisburgForSale.com. I'm available seven days a week and typically respond quickly — real estate doesn't always happen on a 9-to-5 schedule, and neither do I.
