BUYING

Buying a home is a big deal. It's a lot of responsibility and opportunity. With over 30,000 homes sold in Pittsburgh each year, finding the home that fits your lifestyle and budget takes more than the best app or website (although those tools are important too!). It takes agents who will listen to you, show you lots of homes, and help you narrow down options to meet your priorities. It also takes agents who are willing to negotiate for your best interests so you get everything you want. Julie & Ted work hard as team to make sure you're in your home sweet home for years to come.

We begin each home buying journey by getting to know you and your priorities. We evaluate your goals related to location, space, home features, price, and community. Once we understand what you're looking for, we tour as many homes as needed to find your dream house, and negotiate your offer to ensure you get the best deal possible.

Our service doesn't stop when you find your house-- we are with you every step of the way through the loan application, home inspection, title insurance, and every single detail that will bring you to the closing table. We have a powerful network to support you, and we will advocate for you to make sure you have the best experience buying your home.

SELLING

Selling your home is stressful. From staging and cleaning through showings, offers, inspections, packing, and closing, there's a lot to do and a lot of questions. We will answer your questions quickly, from, "What's the best paint color for my powder room?" to "How should I interpret this home inspection report?" We've been there and we're here to support you. Julie & Ted start the selling process by collaborating with you on a marketing strategy to sell your home quickly for top dollar. We then partner with you through the whole process to make sure you feel great when you show up for closing. 

Our key to selling homes well is all in the preparation. A couple weeks of hard work before you list your house will save you months on the market, and ensure a strong return. We often begin working with our sellers months before their house is on the market, and we recommend which projects are worth completing (and which are worth skipping!). When you are ready to list, we guide you through paperwork, and come through your house as a team to help you with staging details. We hire a professional photographer on your behalf and develop a strategic marketing plan to target buyers looking for homes in your neighborhood to help you get a strong offer, faster. 

When selling your house, the best offer in the world doesn't matter if you don't make it to the closing table. We recommend trusted resources to help you along the way, whether you need a handyman to fix a leak found in inspection, a mover to help you pack your boxes, or a home cooked meal when you're getting stressed and need some comfort food, we make the process as painless as possible so you can focus on your move.

INVESTING

With accessible home prices and a growing market with many leading indicators of future growth, Pittsburgh offers the perfect opportunity to grow your investment. Whether you're looking for a quick return on a stable market with a house to flip and sell, or a long term rental in a neighborhood that's a few years off from blooming, Julie & Ted consider every detail as we partner with investors to maximize their return. We consider houses on the MLS, as well as partnering with local wholesalers and private markets, and work hard to ensure you meet your investment goals.

We believe the key to investing is to treat your investment as if it’s our own. We help you find houses that will attract quality tenants or buyers, ensuring the process of investing in real estate is positive for you. We recommend resources you can trust, from experienced contractors and property managers, to lenders that will provide the resources you need at a competitive price.

Achieving the highest return on your investment requires strong negotiation skills and a keen sense of market value for any home. We build strong rapport with other agents early in the process and navigate competing priorities for all parties, then Julie & Ted play on each other's strengths as a team to ensure we negotiate the best deal possible on your behalf.
