About Washington County, PA

On Sunday, December 7th, you can tour five homes in Peters Township as part of the annual Holiday Home Tour.

Presented by The Watchful Shepherd, an organization dedicated to child abuse prevention, and sponsored by Keller Williams Realty, this year's tour features homes on Woods Lane, Farmview Place, Diamond Drive, Redwood Drive and Hardwood Drive.

Tickets cost $35 and can be purchased at Keller Williams Realty in Bethel Park, Mt. Lebanon Floral and Today's Tiffany Lamp in Mt. Lebanon, and several stores in Peters Township, Canonsburg and Washington (in addition to others).

This Peters Township house tour begins at noon and ends at 5 p.m. For more information and a list of all ticket locations, take a look at the event flyer.

The amount of information available on the Internet for Pittsburgh home buyers and sellers is staggering. Add to that the number of innovative tools Pittsburgh home buyers can use to search for homes. It seems that list grows daily as well. That means Pittsburgh real estate agents must keep up with all the MLS property search tools and web sites on the World Wide Web that both Pittsburgh buyers and sellers use to make the task of buying and selling easier.

It Takes a Village errrr.. a Pittsburgh Real Estate Agent Team to Help a Client!

It's times like these that makes me glad I have my own team of Pittsburgh Realtor buyer and seller experts to assist our clients. Plus, we have an independent real estate marketing firm in the wings to help me keep up too. It takes everyone working together in unison to provide the highest quality value and services to our clients.

Smart Phones Empower Pittsburgh Home Buyers (and Home Sellers Too!)

In addition to the incredible search power Pittsburgh home buyers possess with today's websites, buyers are also taking full advantage of their smart phones to search for Pittsburgh listings too. Even Pittsburgh home sellers are getting smarter too. I love the challenge of a listting presentation. Being observant about about a seller's home goes far beyond eyeing the details of the property. With smart phones so prevalent, should I see a Blackberry or iPhone on the counter of a potential home seller, I always discuss how more Pittsburgh buyers are utilizing their property search enabled smart phone applications to locate potential properties to preview. I explain how there is a growing segment of tech-savvy home buyers who lean heavily on their smart phones when they are out and about previewing homes. I then explain that marketing to this group of tech-savvy consumers is one more unique way we market properties to today's Pittsburgh home buyer!
