Pittsburgh is Hot
Okay, not that kind of hot . . . in fact, cold and snowy. But the real estate market is HOT right now. We have entered the spring market early and strong with home sales looking to possibly exceed last year’s sales, even without the government’s tax credit. So what does that mean for you? [...]
Good News for Home Buying Pittsburgh Physicians
Are you a medical student or resident awaiting news of the March match to find out if you will be relocating to Pittsburgh to complete your training? Are you already practicing in Pittsburgh and finally have the time and energy to consider moving into a larger home? As the spouse of a Pittsburgh doc, I [...]
Never Assume
When I was in high school, my AP English teacher would often say (in an affected British accent), “when you assume, you make an Ass out of U and Me.” When you engage an agent to list your home for sale, please don’t assume. I have seen too many listings with bad and/or too few [...]
Fun with Freddie and Fannie
Hi everyone! First off, I must apologize for my LONG absence. I got derailed from blogging when I was working on my last newsletter and then never got back on track. But here I am again and I promise to do a better job. I’ve decided to mix things up a bit. Because I’m finding [...]

Free Professional Home Staging Service
As your listing agent, I want your house to sell for the greatest amount possible in the least amount of time. If you have read my blog posts, you know that I believe strongly that home staging is critical to achieving this goal. The way we live in our homes and the way we need [...]
Modern Marketing for Home Sales
I love Pittsburgh, but we are not always up on the latest trends. Although a portion of the city works in very high tech businesses, overall I would characterize Pittsburgh as fairly low tech. And that’s fine. Except I think your real estate agent should be able and willing to market your home aggressively online. [...]
Is That a Doggie in the Window?
Pittsburgh is a dog lover’s city so selling a house in Pittsburgh with a dog or two inside shouldn’t be a problem? Should it??? Well . . . Here’s the problem. Some people just don’t like dogs. They’re scared, even of the small yappy ones, or allergic, or just grossed out by the hairy fellows. [...]
