There’s a true joy to be home for the holidays, and we are blessed and excited to celebrate our first Christmas in our new home this year! For us, the holidays give us the opportunity to focus on both our extended family, and our own “little family.”
The holiday season around our home gets crazy between school plays, work parties, family gatherings, shopping, and the rest of life! We find moments of peace with a softly lit Christmas tree, a cozy fire, and our favorite music playing to help remind us to enjoy the season. We also discover joy both in old tradition, like Santa Walks on Christmas Eve, as well as in spontaneous moments, like inviting friends & family over for a last minute get together to enjoy take-out pizza and play games.
Our home is built not by the walls around us, but by the people we share our lives with. No matter where you are, or what you celebrate, we hope this season fills you with joy.
Finding your home: the Hanna Advantage®
Just like shopping for a home, when we started as real estate agents we shopped around for which brokerage to work with. Some were too small, without the training programs and expert advice we needed to become top agents, while others were too big, without the family-run and community focused approach we valued. What sold us on Howard Hanna was that it is a family owned, Pittsburgh based company that has national reach.
It’s no secret that Howard Hanna is the top choice in Pittsburgh. Over 30% of homes sold in Allegheny County are sold by Howard Hanna, and with our Hanna Advantages®, it’s easy to see why:
One-Stop Shopping: We have dedicated teams to support all aspects of buying a home, including mortgage, title, and insurance. The one-stop network allows you to focus on which home to buy (and what color to paint the walls!) while we take care of the rest.
100% Money Back Guarantee: When you’re ready to sell, Howard Hanna will support you by standing behind your asking price with a 100% Money Back Guarantee. Howard Hanna guarantees the buyer that they will be able to sell the home at or above its original purchase price if they decide to move in the first year for any reason at all.
Gold Advantage: Employees at many local companies including UPMC, University of Pittsburgh, Giant Eagle, and Westinghouse, can get a cash rebate after closing. Check out http://hannagoldadvantage.com/ to see if your company participates and learn more!
Sunday Showcase of Homes: Howard Hanna has more Open Houses than any other brokerage, and we feature the best of the best each Sunday on WTAE.
Buy Before You Sell: This program helps answer the age old question: do you sell your home before you’ve found a new place to live? Howard Hanna allows you to borrow equity from your current home to buy your dream home.
For us, the biggest Hanna Advantage is the network of the most professional and experienced agents that deliver the best experience buying and selling your home. If you have questions about Hanna Advantages, or would like to learn more about buying or selling your home, we would be honored to talk to you.
