Decades Of Real Estate Experience


At Richards & Richards, LLP, we assist home buyers, sellers and real estate investors with residential and commercial real estate sales and purchases. We also support lending institutions such as banks, mortgage brokers and private financing companies as well as real estate brokers, agents and companies. We have offered our assistance throughout western Pennsylvania for two generations. We are title insurance agents and we underwrite policies for national title insurance companies.

Our founder, the late John Richards Jr., was considered a pioneer in accommodating real estate clients. He was one of the first attorneys who would meet at places of the client’s choosing for real estate closings. His service and the quality of his work were continually recognized by the Best Lawyers in America publication, and he was responsible for drafting the model forms used by Realtors throughout Pennsylvania.

Today, John T. Richards III and Jennifer Rea Abel continue that tradition of customer service and provide real estate closing services to many individuals and corporations across western Pennsylvania.
