Find Your Home



Pittsburgh is a colorful, quirky, visually rich city where delightful surprises await you around each and every bend. Our diverse and distinctive architecture is the bedrock of who and what we are.

So, whether your dream home is an old farmhouse on a few acres ... or a funky urban loft with exposed brick walls ... a clinker brick Storybook Tudor ... a Painted Lady Victorian ... Mid-Century Modern ... brand new construction in a gated community ...

Whatever it is ... you will find it here!

Explore the Neighborhoods


Pittsburgh is home to some of the most genuinely friendly, active and involved people on the planet!  They all share another very important attribute... A great love and pride for their own neighborhood.

If you take a moment to virtually explore our various communities, you'll soon find out why Pittsburghers love what they love.  And in the process, you might just find yourself a wee bit smitten as well!

Calculate Your Mortgage


Your monthly mortgage payment is dependent on how much money you borrowed and the interest rate on your loan.  But other things get added in like property taxes and homeowner's insurance.

So how much house can you really afford?   Or maybe the better question is how much house do you want to afford?  A good way to start planning your purchase is to check out our mortgage calculator.

I came to Pittsburgh 20+ years ago thinking it was just "temporary".  But like so many others who now call Pittsburgh "home", I fell in love with its people, its history, its scenic beauty, its quality of life.

Do you have questions about the neighborhoods?  Regional employers?  Are you unsure as to what your own home is worth?  Are you concerned about the current market?

If so, give me a call, or drop me an email, because after all these years, I do know a whole lot about all things Pittsburgh!

2300 Josephine St,  South Side

02/18/2012 - "Hanging Out There" On The South Side!

To say the Zielinski's home on the South Side is one of a kind ..... Well, that's quite an understatement. Many houses cluster together on the South Side Slopes. Others perch like lone eagles. But only one -- a modern, five-story home -- is cantilevered over a glass manufacturing company at 2300 Josephine St. From sketch to reality, the project took three years. The homeowners, Bob and Kim Zielinski, supervised construction and moved in Jan. 1, 2011. From their bed, the cou ...Read More

02/05/2012 - Lawrenceville Antique Shop More Like History Museum

Al Stidle opened Scavenger's Antique Shop in Lawrenceville in 2003 when his collectibles threatened to overrun his Mt. Oliver house. His wife happily approved. Though most antique shops resemble boutiques with their high prices and occasionally highbrow staff, Scavenger's is more rustic, more unpredictable -- kind of like a scene from the popular television show "American Pickers" on the History Channel. Stidle's father, who raised his family in a brick Troy Hill home ...Read More





02/04/2012 - Marty's Market Coming To The Strip

Right By Nature in the Strip

A new market is coming to the strip to replace Right By Nature which closed last year. Marty's Market's new proprietor, Regina Koetters, is not as anxious about her new venture as one might suspect. Her last assignment was a tour in Iraq, so this by contrast should be a piece of cake. Marty's will open in late spring, at Smallman and 23rd streets, in the same building that Right By Nature vacated.

Ms. Koette ...Read More
