This is how we do it...

Getting Ready to List | Emily Askin | December 1, 2024

We had the pleasure and honor of working with the one and only Houses of Pittsburgh on a peek into one of our fall listings.

Unfortunately for those of you who wanted to see her yourselves -- but great news for our client who was downsizing to a condo we helped her buy -- the house went under contract immediately and closed in November well over asking. 

Good news alert: you can take a peek inside here!

Highlights:

  • Rudy Brothers stained glass windows

  • House History by Carol Peterson

  • Quick little Highland Park walk about 

  • Demo of one of our go to design methods for sellers: the importance / difficulty matrix!   This method helps us work with sellers to identify improvements to make before listing to maximize resale value.
