What do Clients Say?

Working with Barb to sell my house was a great experience from start to finish. She had a ton of great advice from her years of experience in real estate and was on top of things at every step of the process. She was also super nice and a pleasure to work with.

Barb is a consummate realtor and we had a wonderful experience with her both purchasing a new-to-us home and selling our previous home. Energetic and passionate in what she does, Barb does a superb job of listening to your priorities and concerns and finding options and solutions to meet and exceed your needs. Thorough out the buying and selling process, Barb has been readily available day or night. From following up on details to a last minute run to change batteries before closing, Barb has been a partner we relied on. Her experience and expertise in the field is evident when you work with her, as well as her many contacts in the area to help you with anything from financing to finding a good handyman. If you are looking for a realtor, give Barb a call!

Barb is by far the best realtor out there! She made the buying and selling process as smooth as possible in this challenging market. I would highly recommend giving her a call if you are looking to buy or sell a home. You will not be disappointed.

Barb was our Realtor when we recently sold our home. Not only did the home sell within 3 days, but Barb went above and beyond to ensure everything went smoothly both before we listed and throughout the process before closing. Barb is friendly, knowledgeable, patient and kept us up to date during every step. We would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone buying or selling their home. She has a great personality and works tirelessly to make sure all the details are taken care of and her clients are satisfied. We give her 10 stars!

I can't say enough good things about Barb. She was both my buyer's and seller's agent. From our initial meeting to my home purchase and sale a year later, Barb kept me sane through the crazy process. She was extremely responsive and patient as we checked out new homes on the market. I appreciated how she didn't rush me and how invested she was in helping me find the right house, not just any house. When I finally found the home of my dreams, she guided me through the offer process and helped me craft an offer that won out over many others (without sacrificing my goals at the same time in order to get it accepted.) During my home selling journey, she was once again extremely attentive and a calming presence during some periods of anxiety on my end. She hired an amazing photographer who did a fantastic job photographing my home and during the one and only weekend I had showings, we ended up having 15 each day!! As a single mom, buying and selling a house was a stressful thing in itself and I don't know if I could have done it without her. I highly recommend Barb to anyone looking for a top notch agent.

Serving home buyers, sellers, & builders in Pittsburgh and surrounding communities for over 25 years. I love meeting new people and helping them get what they want in their new home or advising sellers as to how to get the absolute most money. Whether your referral is looking to “right size” from their current home, build a home, fill an existing home with wonderful new memories or change their Pittsburgh view to a water view in the mountains or beach, I'm here to serve them superiorly allowing my expertise to guide them to a great experience!

I’ve been fortunate to work with a myriad of builders over the past 20+ years and have a knack of being a great advocate for my clients in negotiating with builders. My expertise with blueprints allows them to benefit from my suggestions about light coming in your home with extra windows or a different type of window suggestion to make sure your furniture placement works, finding ways to get the space or rooms they want, talk through the things that easily could be changed later to keep them in budget, etc.
