We connected with Jeff at a Coldwell Banker office and were immediately drawn to his knowledge of…read morethe city of Pittsburgh. He knew every neighborhood, the history, and all aspects of transportation to those prospective areas (which was important for us). My partner and I had a lot of boxes that needed to be checked for our future home, but Jeff rose to the challenge with ease. Something we were extremely grateful for was Jeff's patience. We toured 18 houses during our time together and never was he frustrated or put out by our needs. After our search we stumbled across a home that checked our long list of boxes and Jeff got us through the offer stage, inspection phase, and ultimately to closing. It was not only a pleasure to work with Jeff from a business standpoint, but it was great to get to know him better as a person. Not only did we have a great agent to help us with an important transaction, but we made a friend. If you are in the market for a new house, we highly recommend Jeff for your search. You will be in great hands and you will learn so much about Pittsburgh.

Renting and selling a home from out of state can be complicated and stressful, but Jeff was in constant communication throughout the entire process. Thanks Jeff!

When our house was on the market longer than we liked, my husband and I sought a new selling agent. Enter: Matt Ohlsson. From day one, Matt was responsive to texts, emails and phone calls. We met to discuss marketing, he quickly scheduled photos, and updated the MLS listing. It was only a few short days before the several showing requests came, and we ultimately sold the house! Matt truly had our best interest in mind throughout the entire process. He wasn't pushy with us about his personal opinions, and he made all counter-offers, as we requested. Selling our house was just the beginning of our relationship with Matt and only a fraction of what made him a fantastic agent. As we agreed to make repairs, per the inspection and FHA loan requirements, Matt was helpful every step of the way. He called in favors from contractors and radon companies, and he touched base regularly to ensure we were on track; his calming, reassuring voice kept me sane, as we prepared to sell our house and buy out of state over the holidays! I'd be honored to work with Matt again, and I will absolutely recommend him to friends and family looking to sell (or buy) a home!

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.

Diane helped me find my dream home…read more She is truly devoted to her clients and consistently goes above and beyond to make the process comfortable and stress-free. Unlike many agents, Diane genuinely prioritizes your happiness over the transaction. If she feels a house isn't the right fit, she'll be honest and tell you. Her integrity is matched by her deep knowledge of Pittsburgh and the surrounding areas, which was invaluable to me as someone new to the city. From our very first phone call, I knew I could trust her. She stood out from other agents I spoke with by being respectful, attentive, and taking the time to understand my needs through thoughtful questions. That personal approach made all the difference. I will absolutely work with Diane again for future home purchases, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, knowledgeable, and caring real estate professional. You can feel confident placing such an important investment in her hands.

We explained what we were seeking in a single family home, and told her we knew nothing about the area. Diane was able to guide us COMPLETELY on areas she thought would give us what we wanted. She would also tell us honestly whether or not she thought a house would fit our needs, and the real condition of the house. The financing and purchasing team were also just perfect ~ a totally seamless project. They all worked tirelessly with us for 6 months to find our perfect first home. Diane is a straight shooter who will also guide you on the property value, as well as all processes involved in purchasing a home. We definitely got a quality and valuable experience for our money. We have now been in the house a full month, and couldn't be happier! Definitely would recommend and will refer others to Diane and her wonderful team. We feel so fortunate to have found them!

Over the course of about a year she answered my many questions via text and email and call, usually within minutes. She didn't miss a single step of the process, and in fact was usually early with all of the minutiae involved. I felt that I was in very good hands. I just closed on my dream home (!), but there was a house before this that fell through after inspection. Due to her extensive knowledge of contracting, Dawn was able to give realistic estimates of the repairs needed, and, most importantly, she helped me make the decision to walk away from a house I had lots of hope for but would have ultimately ended up being a miserable money pit. I'm so grateful for that perspective, and also for the fact that I generally never felt any pressure to make a decision before I was ready, buy a house outside of my means, etc. etc. I'm so lucky to have worked with Dawn and would recommend her to anyone!!

We were able to meet with her, and tour homes on a recent planned vacation, she gave us a ton of options. She also introduced us to an awesome lender who helped us identify our options (Nicole with Movement mortgage is an incredible asset; and they love to work together: so it's a great fit for us!) Since we have returned to SoCal, I have been in touch with Sara frequently; she's warm, friendly and I have no doubt she will help us find the home of our dreams in due time! Keep in mind; your realtor is a professional who puts in a lot of time making your home dreams a reality, and there's nothing better than having a partner in our goal who understands what we are looking for, and cares enough to keep in touch/make friends for life. Can't wait to update this review when we have found "home", and I have no doubt, with Sara's expertise in the local community and her dedication to our vision, that we will find just the place, together!

She's the best, simply put! If you are looking for someone who is patient, honest and respectful of…read moreyour requests and time, Sara is your girl! We had the pleasure of working with her to buy our first house in Dormont and to sell that house seven years later and purchase a new one. PATIENCE is key in this process. I cannot say this enough. I always had this vision of a real estate agent being super pushy and aggressive with their buying and selling tactics. This is not the case for Sara. We took nine long months to find our first house in Dormont. She never pressured us to hurry up. I was talking to a friend one day who's a former real estate agent and they were like, I would have dropped you a few months in! So clearly you know Sara is patient. I loved that she got to know us enough that we'd walk into a house and she'd be like, NOPE, not for you. Again, never tried to push her opinion on us unless it was asked. And I did explicitly trust her with her opinion of houses. We finally found the right house for us, and of course negotiating was stressful, but she offered advice at every turn and was able to guide us to a successful deal. Then seven years later we were ready to move to a bigger house and sell our old one. Now I realize THAT is the stressful part... Selling your home! I was way overconfident with the market being hot and thinking we'd have some sort of bidding war on our house in the first week it was on the market. It was not. In the overall scheme of things the house went fast, about a month after we listed, but I was caught up in thinking our house was the most amazing perfect house ever and how dare anyone find fault with it :) We got a deal we were comfortable with and that closed our chapter there. With the new house, we searched and secured a deal on buying it before we sold the old one. We looked for about six months and I was so indecisive. I just couldn't find the "right" one. Sara again was very patient with us throughout the whole process. We looked at a lot of duds and finally came upon our future home. I was still not entirely sold but Sara was able to gently point out the good points and then eventually negotiate a great deal for us. For the neighborhood, we really lucked out. To this day I still say to my husband we got a steal on this place. Negotiating was SUPER STRESSFUL but Sara was always there to talk us through the inspection issues with both houses. Calm and cool always. Now I'm sitting here in our house after a year and am so happy and would gladly refer Sara to everyone who asks... Which I do all the time! Thanks Sara, you're the best and you'll be in good hands when you choose her as your agent!
