"I cannot say enough good things about Liz. She was competent, professional, and responsive from the first day we contacted her about selling our home. She also helped my sister-in-law purchase a home in the area. Liz made everything go as smoothly and as quickly as possible. I recommend her to anyone who wants to sell their home and/or purchase a home in the Pittsburgh area!"
Home Seller
"Bret is the best, top-level, real estate pro. The exact type of agent that you want in your corner. Incredibly quick to respond and kept us in the loop throughout the buying process. Very honest and transparent, which I personally really appreciated. We ended up buying our house from afar, sight-unseen, and really trusted Bret, who has a great eye for houses."
Home Buyer
"It was a pleasure to work with Kristin in our search for a Pittsburgh home. She was professional and Communicated clearly and promptly. Kristin was helpful in finding houses within our budget. She took the time to outline all of our options. We enjoyed working with Kristin and are very happy with our recent purchase."
Home Buyer
"Kristin is the best! she's helped me with multiple properties in and around Mt. Lebo, and she's got a great sense of the market. Even though the market is "hot" we've always been able to get good value, and that's a large part due to Kristin's work."
Home Seller
"The market is crazy right now and I was not only buying a new home, but also selling my first home. Liz was an amazing help throughout the whole process. She went above and beyond to help me feel comfortable and find the perfect home for me and my kids. Liz gave me excellent advice on both listing price for my home and how to write my offer on the new home. She made the stressful process seem easy and stress free. She was extremely responsive to my texts/emails with questions so that I didn’t worry about anything throughout the process. I highly recommend Liz to help you find your home, she is amazing!"
Home Buyer
"Liz was always kind and quick to respond any time I had a question or request. She consistently sent me new houses within my parameters as soon as they came on the market and rapidly set up tours to facilitate a quick process. If I was unable to be present for any portion of seeking or purchasing my house, Liz was always willing to FaceTime me in and sit in meetings for me and never hesitated to continue the search for the perfect home. Not only was Liz kind, but she was also honest. I never questioned her assessment of a house. It was obvious that she was trying to help me find a home that worked for me, and not just settle on something to finish the process."
Home Buyer
"Liz was absolutely wonderful to work with! She helped me sell my home after I had already moved away from the area and made that process much less stressful than it could have been. She was always available by phone and email, and was knowledgeable, honest, patient, and communicative throughout the whole process. My home needed several updates before it was ready to sell and, as I now live several states away, Liz helped me find contractors, arrange appointments, and could always be at the property when needed. She was invaluable! I would highly recommend her for anyone looking to buy or sell in the Pittsburgh area!"
Home Seller
"Liz helped my wife and I find our first home. As first time home buyers, we knew very little about buying a home. Liz walked us through every step of the touring and purchasing process, constantly answering our questions and helping us navigate a highly competitive housing market. Liz found homes for us that fit our needs, got us into those homes for tours within hours, and was able to help us seal the deal on a home we love within a month! We never felt lost or out of our depth with Liz helping us, and she was amazing at being the middle-person between us and all of the third parties that are involved in a purchase (seller's agent, closing company, mortgage broker, etc.). We would highly recommend Liz Merrell to anyone looking for a home in Pittsburgh."
Home Buyer
"Jenny was our agent of choice when it came time to sell our first home and purchase our new home. Her knowledge, responsiveness, and expertise coupled with her friendly attitude makes her the best! Not only was she able to help us purchase our new home in an extremely competitive market, but she was able to sell our home asap! Selling and buying was one of the most stressful things my husband and I have ever experienced, but Jenny made it all a success. We would recommend her to anyone!"
Home Seller
"As first time homeowners, we were anxious about the entire process. We just successfully closed on our home and can confidently say Jenny made everything run so smoothly from start to finish. She gave us a visual of our timeline and was always willing to answer questions we had in a timely manner. We would recommend Jenny as your Realtor® 10/10 times!"

"Jenny was fantastic to work with! She helped my husband and I find a home that fit our particular needs and we are very pleased with the outcome. She was patient and encouraging through a long search process, understood clearly what we were looking for, and provided helpful advice during the inspection and negotiation. Jenny works exceptionally hard for her clients and we highly recommend her services!"
Home Buyer
"Super agent Jenny was extremely responsive and knowledgeable about the area and the market. We were looking for a forever home with very specific requirements, and Jenny helped us find it. The home is big and bright and has all the right space for our family and all the animals. We have room to run and space to grow. Thank you so much!"
Home Buyer
