"Jane Bloch is the Best Realtor in Pittsburgh!…read more Jane was referred by a friend of mine and she responded quickly with doing a property analysis and assessing how I can get the most for my property. I was living out of town and Jane priced my property perfectly, and even assisted in some cleaning and staging to get more than I imagined for my property with no inspections and cash! Jane was very responsive and I was able to communicate with her at all times and she was very proactive in letting me know every step of the process. Jane is very knowledgeable of the area (one of the few Pittsburgh native realtors), helpful and friendly and I highly recommend Jane as your Realtor as she went above and beyond any real estate agent."

I have mixed feelings about this location based on two recent experiences - one being great and one…read morebeing not so great. My first experience was because I lost my debit card and needed a new one printed. The teller that assisted me was great, although a bit pushy with "selling me" on mortgage loans, car loans, etc. I get it though - that's her job. She was helpful when discussing PNC employee benefits (my fiance is an employee) on loans and such for the future. My second recent experience was because I lost my debit card again (must have been having a rough week lol). It was a different teller this time. While I appreciate that I was in and out pretty quick with my new card, it was not a good experience after I left. I had 10 errands to run immediately after leaving the bank. My card was getting declined one store after another, causing me to use a credit card. I couldn't understand what was happening until it dawned on me - the teller never asked me which bank account my new debit card was for and therefore, connected it to the incorrect account. I'm a little confused why he didn't verify which account, especially because the one he connected it to has zero dollars in it (I do not use this account hardly ever) vs. my normal account with money in it. This may seem like a minor mistake but every single bill I have is connected to one account and so then, all of my bills were bouncing because of this - a total nightmare. When I think back on the appointment, the teller was friendly but like I said, it was a quick appointment and I'm now remembering that he told me how he lost his debit card recently at a bar... Now, I hate to complain because I'm young and fun (in my opinion lol) but discussing the bar during a banking meeting isn't very professional and now led to all of these issues with my debit card. Overall, I guess I would return but will be very, very cautious of who the teller is and making sure I verify everything that they are doing. Honestly though, I will probably go to a different location because in my opinion, money is not to be messed with.

This PNC Bank is spacious and has lots of parking. Upon entering the building, an employee…read moreimmediately greeted my husband and me, asked what service we needed, and then directed us to the back. We needed to obtain a cashier's check, and although it was around lunchtime, no other customers were ahead of us in line. The teller and his manager were very helpful and polite. They checked our identification and debit card, and then they created the cashier's check in the correct amount for the correct payee. As we were walking out of the building, another employee thanked us for coming and said goodbye. This location of PNC also has a few lanes in their drive-thru.

Matthew was amazing! He helped us buy a house in Pittsburgh, and our search actually started while…read morewe were still living in Florida. He was available 24/7, was really quick to set up showings, and he has a background in construction so he was able to point out things that any other real restate agent would have never seen (and saved us from some bad houses). My wife and I will be working with Matt for every house we buy and sell in the Pittsburgh area, and recommending him to everyone we know.

Be cautious in dealings with Sofranko, particularly as a buyer. Recently, I was in the process of…read morebuying a restaurant from a seller who used Sofranko as a broker. I wired money to Sofranko to be used as partial down payment of the property. The seller decided that he couldn't uphold the terms of our agreement. So the deal ended and Sofranko kept all of my money -- thousands, not including the legal expenses that were incurred as part of a deal that could have never happened. I wasn't their client and had no dealings with them except as a buyer of a restaurant that happened to be listed through them.

Not to mention the poor seller was paying them a ton of commission. Dont give them a deposit and dont believe a word they tell you!

MAKE DEB YOUR REALTOR. She's a tireless advocate for you!…read more I was referred to Deb by friends in 2016 to buy my first house in Pittsburgh. Deb was on board with my priorities, and to boot, Deb would help mind my toddler while I looked at houses. Unfortunately, I got divorced in 2018, and Deb helped me efficiently sell that first house. I just bought my second house with Deb. As the first time, she went above and beyond to make sure I got the house I needed AND wanted. Deb tailors real estate experiences using her experience, knowledge, and network to get the optimum outcome for her clients. So I'm serious, MAKE DEB YOUR REALTOR. She's the best.

They've got plenty of drive-thru banking options if it's raining or you just don't feel like slowing down on your errand run. Inside, they have complimentary coffee if you're waiting to meet with someone, but the service is so excellent I can't imagine you'd ever have time to do much of that. All the staff is friendly, quick, and efficient. No matter how big the line, they serve everyone in just minutes. Just a note: the address is Peebles Rd., but if you're looking for the location of the bank, just go to the McIntire Shopping Center in the North Hills. It's at the end of the shopping center closest to Vincentian.

In 2024, I obtained insurance quotes from several insurance companies, and my husband and I decided to purchase auto, home, and umbrella insurance policies through Madia Insurance Agency, which sells Erie insurance, because they had the best communication, coverage, and premiums. Since then, my husband and I used the auto insurance to pay for a replacement windshield after a rock had flown off the road and cracked the glass. Madia Insurance recommended a particular repair shop. The repair shop replaced the windshield but unfortunately also cracked a bracket for the camera. We paid $100, and Erie paid the rest. Madia Insurance contacted the repair shop and got them to replace the windshield again and the camera bracket for free. My husband and I felt very happy that Madia Insurance advocated for us.

Bobby West was our realtor to sell our home and help us find our new home. We chose him based on…read morehaving several 5 star reviews. After our experience, we questioned if they were all real. Our home was listed, and wanting to sell we decided to put the price at the lower end of his recommendation range, trying to ensure it would not sit. Within 4 days he wanted us to lower the price by $10,000 because of only 2 showings. We did not feel great about this and felt this was too soon, but he pushed, so we agreed to lower by $7,000. Within a week we had 1 awful offer and one for asking. We accepted the one for the asking price. Now it was time to find our new home. We picked a day we could both get off work. He said he couldn't show us houses that entire day because he was taking his 2 dogs to a grooming appointment. We found our home through a different realtor in his office. Bobby made the offer and it was accepted. Here's where things take a turn. He said he took care of our earnest money going where it needed to go. He didn't. He told us he got permission from our seller so we could move in up to a couple days early. He didn't. We told him when our movers were coming and he was pushing to have the sellers do our walk through at the same time our movers would be moving our belongings out of the home. Everything was in writing via text messages. When the messages were copied back to him, he spun out of control. Messages became rude and unprofessional on his end. We didn't know how to respond to him. We decided to have another realtor from his company intervene. John Perry stepped in and was very professional and completed the rest of the communication and tasks. We would not recommend using Bobby West as a realtor.

We worked with Scott Boni out of the Bobby West team and it was a fantastic experience. We will…read moredefinitely be recommending Scott and Bobby to anyone else looking to buy a home. Scott guided us through he whole process was very patient with us and explained everything without over explaining. He helped us at every step of the way was always quick to reply and easy to contact and kept us informed. Scott also had great contacts through him he helped us pick a quality mortgage broker, home inspector and everything else we needed for the process. Scott was also extremely knowledgeable about the houses we toured and was able to point out things I never would have noticed or known to ask about. He was able to adapt as we figured out what kind of houses we were actually interested in and guide us to more like what we wanted. We toured a lot of houses and made two offers in our Journey and Scott was reassuring communicative and effective the entire way. Every weekend he would set us up to tour homes with an itinerary and a plan also including and getting us information on homes we found ourselves that we liked. Scott was a great Value as a realtor but more importantly to me he was just a very good person. I felt like i could trust him to actually have mine and my Wife's interests at heart. I never felt pressured by him and the man knew how to make us feel comfortable in the strange situation. He was easy to talk to without it ever feeling awkward or like an obligation even on our 10th or 12th house toured. He was fun to talk to while keeping us on track through all the tours and making good use of our time. He helped us weigh the pros and cons of the places we visited and helped us understand everything through his knowledge and experience. I'd highly recommend this group and Scott in particular if you are in the process of buying a house.
