Angela went above and beyond throughout both our purchasing and selling process!

She always had our family’s best interest in mind and did whatever she could to make the process as smooth as possible for us! I can’t recommend working with Angela enough!

Brock and Jamie McGinn

Mary Sue is a real pro.

She is very conscientious and trustworthy. And she looks for ways to be helpful by extending herself beyond just fulfilling the requirements of executing a real estate transaction. I would recommend dropping the Utility Concierge "free" service. I had the impression that I was being pushed into certain choices and suspect that commissions are being paid to the person delivering the service. When I decided to go with TMobile over Armstrong Cable for internet service and asked him to set me up, he told me to do it myself. Hmmm. Was there a commission for Armstrong Cable but not for T Mobile? I don't know that this is the case. If it is, it should at minimum be fully disclosed.

Roger C. Gibson

Mike was amazing every step of the way for me as a first time home buyer.

I don't know where I'd be without his help and guidance throughout the process. He knew all the right people for me to quickly close on not just a home but the right home for me.

Duncan Riding

Our realtor Emily Ochman went over and above during the purchase and sale of our residences.

She was thoughtful, caring, and most importantly communicative. She walked us through scenarios that came up and let us know a variety of options. In our opinion, Emily is first class when it comes to the top realtors in the Pittsburgh Area. If you want someone who cares about your sale, purchase, and just you as a person, Emily should be your realtor. We cannot speak of her praises enough!

Isaac Dixon

Robert and Kathy did a wonderful job with our search for a new home.

We would recommend him (and Kathy) for anyone looking for a house in the area.

Roy C. and Loraima Harvey

Ashley is an excellent Realtor to work with.

She went above and beyond. She has answers for all questions! (Trust me I had a lot). She's very easy to work with and super friendly and helpful. My family and I are so grateful for all her help and making the process of buying our home an awesome experience.

Amy

Awesomest Agent Ever!

So thankful for you, Ashley. You fought incredibly hard to get us our dream. It absolutely would not have happened without you working so diligently to cross all our t's and dot all our i's. Every time we complete a new project you are the first to get the text with pictures. Keep up the good work. There are many more people with dreams like ours waiting for your help....I can't wait for you to see what we have done with the machine shed and school house. We are almost ready to send pics. Ashley, there are people I have talked to recently who had to walk away from the house of their dreams because they didn't have a good buyer's agent. Same struggles Dave and I had buying an Amish house. The bank wanted certain conditions met. You fought for almost a year and you earned every dime of your commission. The best part was the fact you were always available. No matter what. We didn't understand, you made it clear. We were discouraged and didn't think it was gonna happen, you encouraged with facts on how it was gonna happen.

Our experience with Angela Pulkowski as our realtor was exceptional.

Angela's patience and dedication to our cause made my wife and I feel as though we were her only customers. She was always available for us, as early as 6 am and as late as 10 pm, seven days a week. Angela not only found us our new home but also successfully sold our previous house. Her keen understanding of the market, attention to detail, and unwavering commitment to our needs made the process seamless even though we had extenuating circumstances. Angela handled the sale of our high-end home like a veteran, expertly navigating the particulars of selling a home in Sewickley Heights. Our unique property required a special buyer and she found the right family to enjoy and care for our home. She managed unusual legal matters associated with the sale with utmost professionalism and expertise. Additionally, she coordinated the back-to-back closings of selling our house and buying our new house with precision. Angela took the time to truly understand our wants and needs for a new home, ensuring that every option she presented was aligned with our desires. Her deep knowledge of the area and its unique market conditions ensured that every aspect of the transaction was executed flawlessly. During showings, Angela was always present and valued our home and its belongings as if they were her own, demonstrating a level of care and respect that truly impressed us. Angela knew exactly who to go to for title law and land surveys, demonstrating her vast network and deep expertise. Furthermore, her network of skilled craftsmen, landscapers, and various contractors was a huge asset. She was able to quickly connect us with the right people whenever we needed something done, ensuring that our transition was smooth and hassle-free. Angela's cheerful, can-do attitude and problem-solving skills were truly remarkable. She always found a solution for any challenge we faced. Angela also devised an effective market strategy that showcased our home to the right buyers, leading to a successful sale. She hired an expert photographer who showcased our unique house and 8+ acres in the best possible way. Her comprehensive marketing and advertising approach ensured maximum visibility and attraction for potential buyers. Angela's strategy included promotions in publications, enhancing the exposure of our property. She also made sure we understood every aspect of the financial implications, providing clear and thorough explanations. Angela's personal touch was evident from the first phone call to the follow-ups after the sale, making us feel supported and valued throughout the entire process. Angela's professionalism and warm personality set her apart. Her outstanding reputation and solid relationships with other real estate professionals repeatedly provided value throughout the entre process. We were also impressed with the Sewickley Berkshire Hathaway team. Their commitment to making sure we got answers to unusual property and legal questions as a priority was truly commendable. My wife and I wholeheartedly recommend Angela and the team to anyone in need of exceptional real estate services. Thank you, Angela, for making our real estate journey a success!

Mary Sue was professional and available to us every step along the way.

She went above and beyond and was patient when guiding us through the buying and selling processes.

Daniel K. Yourd

"We had a large piece of property which has a number of potential uses.

Dan had a comprehesive solution which ultimately maximized our value in the property.. So many folks hire "their friend" to handle one of their biggest investments.... Based on our experience... and largely his expertise and the service provided - - Dan will be your friend...After the Sale."

Mike Killian is easy to work with, goes above and beyond what's needed and is an all around great guy.

He knows houses and knows the area - exactly what you need. We highly recommend him to anyone.

Yunsu Park

Dan sold our house privately, even without going to market.

His understanding of the market put us in the best position to capitalize on it with a quiet process that he seems to know very well.

-

Robert Green is the man.

He went above and beyond to cater to my needs and helped me find a home. His wisdom was leaned on through the process and his guidance was very much appreciated. I would recommend Rob to anyone especially family and close friends.

Matthew Byrne

Emily is the best.

She was always ethical and forthright. Always represented us to the highest standard. And was a tireless worker for us. She never pushed us with a hard sell nor would she sugar coat a property's problem spots. She's honest and principled in every word she speaks. More than once she said, "This house might not be the best fit," and "This house might be a bit overpriced." A straight-talking real estate agent is exactly what my wife and I needed. At no point did we feel that she had anything except our best interests at heart. When she represented us to sellers' agents, she'd get in there, mix it up, and negotiate hard on our behalf. When there were problems with our purchase (as there will always be) she was immediately on the phone, grinding it out for us. And she's incredibly hardworking. She would meet us after we got out of work or at any time on the weekend, and she'd show multiple properties anytime we asked. That was helpful because my wife and I both work 9-to-5 jobs. And I've never seen Emily without a smile, even early Saturday mornings. The profession of real estate agent could not be better represented than by Emily Ochman. If anyone asks me who my agent is, I'll happily tell them. And if we ever need to buy another property, we absolutely know who to call.

Kristin and Ollie

We had a very good experience working with Ashley to purchase my son's first home.

Working with Robert and Kathy was an absolute pleasure from start to finish.

Their patience was truly remarkable - they showed us countless properties over several years, never once making us feel rushed or pressured. When we finally found our dream property, their expertise really shone through. Their thoroughness during the purchase process was impressive. They outlined every step with incredible clarity, ensuring we always knew exactly what was needed and when. Thanks to their guidance, we navigated the complex world of real estate without a hint of confusion. Beyond their professional skills, Robert and Kathy became trusted advisors. Their kindness, sense of fun, and genuine care for our needs made the entire experience enjoyable. They weren't just helping us buy an apartment; they were helping us find a home. I cannot recommend Robert and Kathy highly enough. If you're looking for realtors who combine expertise with a personal touch, look no further. They truly go above and beyond for their clients.

Emily Brimmer

We were very pleased with Angela’s services as a realtor.

She is extremely hard working and professional. When it became clear that our house was not going to sell quickly, she only ramped up her efforts with new marketing and frequent open houses. We would not hesitate to recommend Angela to anyone seeking to sell or buy a home.

Beat agent ever this is our 12th home in 36 years Mark us a true caring professional!

Rodney Norris

Angela is a kind, patient, caring person that puts her heart and sole into finding the buyers the best home possible.

She was willing to go out in several snow storms and rain and wind to look at Patio homes with us. It look us a year and a half and several offers to find the perfect home and we finally found it. We are forever grateful to have found Angela and will tell our friends to seek her out as their agent.

Thomas R. Tevis, Jr.

Angela was outstanding to work with on the purchase of our home.

We were a corporate relocation so there was an extra level of complexity. She navigated that with competence and used her expertise to smooth the way. Her dynamic, action-oriented presence was calming to us in the midst of a challenging market and she was extremely responsive to all of our questions. We highly recommend Angela.

Kaibao Chen

We dub thee Ashley Awesomest Agent Ever.

She is very quick on the uptake. With every property she showed us, our likes and dislikes were discerned. She responds fast and is easy to talk to. Ashley listens attentively. We looked for quite a while at many, many places. We made offers that fell through and that was okay. Ashley stuck with us until we settled on an Amish property. Ours was a very complicated purchase and Ashley was on top of every detail. We highly recommend Ashley for all of your real estate needs.

David & Elsa

We couldn't be happier with our new home for our family.

Thomas was patient with us as we navigated an incredibly challenging market - we always knew he was working overtime for us, getting into the nitty-gritty of contracts, addendums, contingencies, and everything in between. Thomas was always a listening ear and trusted expert. I would highly recommend Thomas as a realtor and trusted advisor.

Kathy was by far the best realtor I have ever worked with.

She is truly a rockstar and I will be recommending her to everyone I know looking to buy a house in the Pittsburgh area.

Christopher Heavener

Kathy Linger has been our go to realtor for several years.

She has been our buyer’s representative for 3 properties. She has also helped both of our children buy their houses.

George Thomas Vandenbosche

Mr.

Killian was highly competent in all phases of this transaction and also quite pleasant to deal with.

Ann is a personal friend, and having had her help me, successfully, in the past, I naturally sought her out to help with this property sale.

And I am extremely pleased with the outcome. Much effort was needed to clear the building, all 18,000 square feet, and Ann was always there to help guide all involved through that process. She truly went above and beyond what would normally be required, and I am very grateful for what she accomplished!

William Eaton

Ashley was such a wonderful agent - took extra time explaining in detail the buying process & facts about the different areas - this was especially critical with my boyfriend and I as we were new to the area and first time homebuyers.

Even after deciding on the house, she continued to take time to make sure we were comfortable and the buying process was smooth and easy. I would recommend anyone looking for an agent to consider Ashley!

Kate

Angela is an outstanding agent.

If more people worked at their jobs as well as she does, the world would be a much better place.

Margaret Durachko

I just wanted to say that I am very thankful for the tremendous job you did in handling the sale of the house.

You always kept up excellent communication with me and either had answers to my questions or got them pretty quickly. It was a stressful experience but it could have been magnitudes worse if you were not as fantastic at your job as you are. I have a friend at work who is having a rough time with her agent which made me appreciate you even more. THANK YOU!

Chuck

Robert Green was fabulous to me - I rented a condo from one of his clients.

He went above and beyond for the landlord on move in when things

Colleen Dobson Wardrop

Mary Sue was there for us every step of the way.

She is professional, polite and knowledgeable. We had a wonderful home buying and selling experience with her guidance.

Daniel K. Yourd

Angela Pulkowski is an amazing agent.

She knows how to pull the right levers to bridge the gap between the seller and buyer. While our home was on the lower side of her typical marker the service and attention we received was amazing. I could not recommend someone more highly.

Mark Oberiller Jianbo Zhang

Angela was nothing but amazing to work with!

She took really great care of us always putting our needs first and went above and beyond to get our house ready for listing photos, inspection, and to close! We felt so comfortable with her and are so thankful for everything she did for us! Thanks Angela!

Bryan P. Rust

Emily was great to work with!

This was my first time buying a home and she was great at communicating expectations and easy to work with. She is super friendly and organized, highly recommend!

Jada G

We worked with Ashley on the purchase of our very first home.

There is a lot of conflicting advice out there about where to start when you are ready to buy your first home. Ashley was there for us to answer all of our questions without ever making us feel like we were asking stupid questions or weren't ready just because we didn't have all the answers for everything. She helped us through every step of the process from viewing the houses all the way through to loan questions and finally closing. She was extremely available to us no matter the timeframe we had to work with and always answered our phone calls and questions completely. I cannot recommend her enough. If I were to ever do this again (which I won't because she helped us secure our DREAM home when we didn't even think it was possible) I would without a doubt go straight to Ashley to the begin the process. She is professional, organized, and most importantly GETS THINGS DONE. Thank you Ashley for all of your help and going above and beyond for our family. We are so happy in our new home!

Shelby

Robert is a pleasure to work with.

Wonderful Experience."

Shannon G.

"We had a very complex transaction which ultimately involved designating some property into "clean and green.

" Dan was instrumental in providing not only a solid understanding of the real estate market, but access to the resources needed, and shepherded the process to completion. He provided much more than the typical Realtor."
