If you're looking for a realtor that is knowledgeable and savvy without ever being pushy, who is…read moregenuinely kind without being fake, and someone who is a delight to be around but also is so organized and on top of things- Bobby West is that realtor! After a few months of working with Bobby, my husband & I have just closed on our first house in Pittsburgh (after relocating from out of state) and this experience has been infinitely easier with Bobby in our corner. He has great recommendations, I trust his opinions and he has a network of reliable contacts to share that have so far proven to be just as amazing as he is (financials, contractors, etc). The house that we ended up purchasing was one that we visited just before the open house was ending; this house that "might work" if we saw it in person ended up being exactly what we were looking for. The house was just listed and already had 3 offers on it, so my husband called Bobby at 5p on a Sunday to ask if it might be possible to submit our best offer before the 7p deadline that day. Bobby worked with our financial contact (who was also amazing, and who he recommended) to get the offer paperwork to us immediately and because of their fast teamwork, we were able to get the house that we really wanted on such short notice! It's also worth mentioning that we went to several open houses over the past few months, and all of the hosting realtors knew who Bobby was and they all had nothing but the best things to say about him. Bobby is a true asset to the community and everything he does is with the best of intentions. Also, since home buying is (often) an emotional and stressful internal experience, it helps to work with someone who has a calming and empathetic approach to their relations. This was something I immediately noticed when I met Bobby, and for such a large and costly decision taking place (this is true for anxious people especially), this reassuring demeanor really helps you to feel supported during the entire home buying process. These are just some of the reasons that I would recommend Bobby to anyone who is looking for a realtor. He is just the best!

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.

My experience selling my mother's home through Realtor Kelly Eckenrode was an overwhelmingly…read morepositive and seamless experience. When my 88-year-old mother decided to sell her house in Bridgeville, PA, I began researching realtors in the greater Pittsburgh area. I quickly narrowed it down to using a larger broker and I chose Berkshire Hathaway. Kelly was very well reviewed on their site and on the internet in general, and for good reasons, it turned out. My initial contact with her was very pleasant and I could tell she was well versed in the process of selling a house and the legal aspects also. (I'm a lawyer with prior real estate experience and I know the difference.) We set up a meeting with my mother and Kelly was very flexible with her schedule. The meeting went well, and my mother (who worries about literally everything) loved her immediately. She made herself very available. She quickly answered the phone and returned phone calls promptly. She was honest and transparent about the process and gave good and helpful advice that ended up benefitting her customers, rather than just herself. Once the house was listed, she secured a serious buyer in 48 hours, and for the asking price. She connected us with quality vendors to help clear the house for showing, performing some needed repairs, and handling the escrow and closing. The paperwork was all done promptly, correctly, and competently. The whole deal was done and closed in a month. I've seen many real estate transactions, and this one went exceptionally smoothly and fairly. Plus, she's a really nice person. I honestly can't think of a single issue with her representation or with the transaction that could have been handled better. In conclusion, if you need a very high-quality real estate agent in the Pittsburgh area and surrounding communities, call Kelly Eckenrode. I would use her services again in a heartbeat if I needed to.

$40,000 over asking price!!!…read more Daniel represented us in the sale of our home on Navahoe Drive in Mt. Lebanon. Early on in the process, he counseled us on improvements and updates that were needed to stage our older home for profitable sale. Despite our reluctance to invest in a property we were about to sell, he was resolute and his advice proved to be worthwhile. With respect to asking price, we decided to be conservative, and to allow the market to dictate where the actual sale price would fall. In a four-day whirlwind of home visits, offers and counters, we were fortunate to be able to sell our home at a tremendous price. Daniel managed this process for u.s, kept the lid on our emotions, and guided us to a very profitable sale. Our recommendation is unequivocal. Daniel is an outstanding agent, sensitive to his client's needs, but insistent about his professional opinions. A prospective seller could not find a more attentive real estate agent.

Right off the bat, he made sure my wife and I truly understood what we were getting into - what can we truly afford? can we expect to get a majority of the things we want within our budget? how much money will be need at closing? what should we expect in terms of allegheny county taxes? etc. He really helped level set expectations. And that was wonderful. But his greater value came when he took us to look at houses. Daniel provided great insight into what work / improvements needed to be done to each house and whether the improvements would actually increase the value of the house. Once we moved into the offer and contract phase, he provided consistent support, kept us on task and timeline, and was always available to answer any questions or concerns that we had. Honestly, I couldn't imagine a better experience and I couldn't imagine ever going through the process without Daniel leading the way. If you're in the market for a house, call him. You won't be disappointed.

We are working with Sara on our upcoming move from San Diego to PIT and I cannot believe we found…read moresuch an awesome partner in this process!!! 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!
