What Clients Are Saying

Tony helped us sell our home in two days! He was knowledgeable, efficient and great to work with. During the craziness of the market, he made me feel comfortable every step of the way. I would highly recommend him if you’re buying or selling a home in Pittsburgh.

Stephanie Vanbalen
Absolutely outstanding. Kevin is proactive in searching for properties and has an excellent eye for structural and repair issues. He was a great guide for me as a first-time investment property. What an asset!

Hannah Venture helped us buy a multi family property and she was very knowledgeable and easy to work with during the whole process. There were a few issues with the property that we were worried about but with Hannah's help and guidance they were easily solved. I will definitely be working with Hannah again to buy or sell a property.

Rohan Murphy

Brittany considered every expectation that we had as her clients. Her excellent communication skills led to a successful sale of our home and the purchase of our forever home. She met every expectation that we presented to her. Brittany’s availability never faltered. During the entire process of selling and buying a home, she supported us and explained the process throughly. We highly recommend Brittany as a professional real estate agent who will accept your goals as a personal matter.

I was browsing Zillow one day and found a house I was interested in and I got matched up with Christine! Christine went above and beyond in helping me purchase my first home. Any time I had questions or wanted to tour a house she was immediately on it. This woman is what I would say is the definition of motivated and determined. Christine made my experience of touring and buying a home a BREEZE. There was never any grey areas she kept me informed and updated on everything every step of the way, at any time of the day. Writing offers for me at 11 at night when I randomly decide I want to make an attempt on a home… She dealt with my impulsive & indecisiveness without batting her eyes as I struggled to decide which homes I wanted to see. It took me 6 or 7 tours and not once did she show any frustration with me. Smiling radiant ball of sunshine! If you get linked up with her through Zillow you’ve found yourself a very hard working determined individual… You’re lucky to work with her! Thank you Christine and Deacon Hoover ! You guys made a dream come true!!!!!

My partner and I LOVED working with Matthew as our buyer's agent. He is an excellent listener who understood what we were looking for and what we liked. He is very direct and honest, never the "salesman," so he was always on the lookout for issues with any house we liked and was sure to share them with us so that we would not have any surprises if we chose to make an offer. Anytime I asked Matthew a question, he did thorough research ASAP to give me the best possible answer, so I certainly learned a few things from him! Matthew always went the extra mile to help us out and make sure we got exactly what we wanted - which we did! I'd 100% recommend him to anyone in western PA.

I was very unsure where in Pittsburgh I wanted to buy. Lindsay allowed me the freedom to explore multiple areas within the city and various home styles. She was patient and knowledgeable. Thanks Lindsay!

I was buying my first home and Kristen was able to hone in on properties within my budget and help me navigate all of the confusing lingo. She did a fantastic job and I would buy or sell with her again.

Graham was a fantastic agent, and I will certainly use him again. He was extremely responsive, tactful, and most importantly had my best interests at the forefront throughout the whole process. Thanks Graham!

Hannah Sosinski worked with us for just under a year making sure we had all the knowledge we needed and perfect home to buy as first time home buyers. She makes sure you have the best experience and fights for the buyers she’s working with to ensure they aren’t getting wronged in anyway possible. She takes all the information you provide and gives her honest opinion during each house showing so that you know if the home is perfect for your families needs or something that isn’t right at the time. 10/10 experience and have already referred her to multiple family members and friends.

Courtney Nagy

I had asked Chris to sell my home of almost 20 years, b/c I know how professional, focused, driven & amiable Chris is. He did not disappoint! My home was not an easy sell, yet Chris made me feel confident w/ my decisions during the process & respected my opinions. Chris, professionally guided me, however, never influenced me into agreeing to something that I was not comfortable with. Chris, was always on task and despite his busy lifestyle, Chris always responded to my calls/texts, immediately and addressed the issue, if needed. If you are looking to sell your home or buy...Chris Saluga, will not quit until you are happy. Chris, will make your needs/wants regarding a home, his priority. Call, Chris!

Sean helped us buy our first home. From beginning to end he was responsive, kind, and very knowledgeable. Sean always gave his honest opinion when showing houses and didn’t rush the process. Sean made us feel like family from start to finish and we would love to work with him in the future.

I don't think our experience could have been any better. Shannon was responsive to every email, call and text. She was on top of things that we needed repaired after inspection and made sure that we got a deal that made sense for everyone. We could not be happier with our experience.

Matthew and my family were battling the absurd housing market earlier this year. He helped get us in the exact area we wanted, fitting within our budget, ideal timeline, helped us deal with all of the emotions that came with the frustrating process of missing out on other homes, and negotiating a price for a house under appraisal price in a market where houses were routinely going over appraisal value. Matthew is someone who really focuses on your needs and wants when looking at houses and will do his best to make you happy with a home that fits your situation perfectly. Could not have asked for a better person to work with in our first home buying experience.

Nick Frost

Lindsay is an amazing real estate agent she's helped me and my mother purchase homes in the last year she went above and beyond all of our expectations and found the exact homes we were looking for, she answered every question we had and provided resources to help us secure our properties I couldn't be more pleased Lindsay is the best.

If you are looking for a realtor who is responsive and wonderful to work with, then look no further! Kristen is experienced and professional, all while making you feel like a good friend! She quickly understood our likes and dislikes and then helped us tailor our search based on that criteria. My husband and I both felt lucky to have Kristen guide us through our house-buying experience, knowing that we were in very capable hands! Kristen went above and beyond to ensure that the process went as smooth as silk and without any surprises. We highly recommend Kristen for your Real Estate agent.

Ashley was the best choice for us while taking this step. She was knowledgeable, kind, easily adapted to our preferences, and honest. Her main concern was us making an investment. She was so patient with us through the whole process since we really didn’t know much about anything. I would recommend Ashley to anyone.
