Buying or selling a home is a big deal, and it doesn’t have to feel overwhelming. My approach is simple: honest guidance, clear communication, and support from start to finish. Whether you’re buying, selling, relocating, or referring someone you care about, my goal is to make the process feel straightforward, low-pressure, and human—so you can move forward with confidence and clarity.

how it works

the buying process

Buying a home isn’t about rushing, it’s about finding the right fit. I’ll help you build a smart game plan, understand the market, and tour homes with a realistic eye for value, condition, and long-term potential. From offer strategy to closing day (and even after), I’m here to guide you through each step, answer questions honestly, and make sure you feel protected and informed the entire way.

BUYING

the buying process

We’ll talk about what you want, what you need, and what matters most (price range, location, timeline, must-haves vs. nice-to-haves). We’ll also go over the process, so you feel clear before we start.

1 - Quick intro call or meeting

2 - Get Pre-approved

I’ll connect you with trusted local lenders (or work with yours). A pre-approval strengthens your offer and helps us shop with confidence.

the buying process

We’ll narrow down neighborhoods, set search criteria, and talk strategy—what’s realistic in today’s market, what to watch for, and what a strong offer looks like.

3 - Build your game plan

4 - start touring homes

Buying a home often takes 30–60 days after an offer is accepted, but the search phase can be a week…or a few months. The goal is the right home, not the fastest one. We’ll tour homes that match your goals, compare options, and I’ll help you spot potential red flags and value-adds (layout, condition, resale appeal, hidden costs). 

the buying process

When you find “the one,” I’ll guide you through:
  • offer price + terms
  • contingencies (inspection, financing, appraisal, sale of current home, etc.)
  • timelines + what to expect next
And I’ll negotiate on your behalf.

5 - write an offer

6 - offer accepted

Once we’re under contract, we shift from “shopping” to “protecting you.” I’ll give you a clear checklist and keep everything moving.

the buying process

You’ll have the home inspected, review results, and decide what to request (repairs, credits, or price adjustments). I’ll help you prioritize what matters.


7 - Inspections & negotiations

8 - appraisal & loan underwriting

Your lender orders the appraisal and finalizes loan approval. If anything pops up (documentation requests, appraisal questions), I’ll help coordinate with your lender and keep the deal on track.

the buying process

Title search, insurance, and closing prep happen here. You’ll also:

  • lock your interest rate (if you haven’t)
  • confirm homeowners insurance
  • schedule utilities + movers


9 - title work & final details

10 - final walkthrough

We do a last check of the home right before closing to make sure it’s in the agreed-upon condition and any repairs are completed.

the buying process

You sign, the funds transfer, and you get the keys. I’ll walk you through what to bring and what to expect so it’s smooth and stress-free.


11 - Closing day - yay!

12 - after Closing Support

Need a contractor list, painter, handyman, cleaner, or just “who do I call for ___?” I’m still here.

Selling your home is about more than putting a sign in the yard—it’s about strategy. I help you price your home thoughtfully, prepare it for maximum impact, and market it in a way that attracts the right buyers. From reviewing offers to navigating inspections and closing, I’ll walk you through every decision with clear advice so you can feel confident, supported, and never left guessing.

SELLING

1 - Initial consultation

We’ll walk through your goals, timeline, and what matters most—price, speed, convenience, or a balance of all three. I’ll also explain the process so you know exactly what to expect.

2 - pricing stratgey

I’ll analyze your home, recent sales, and current market conditions to price it strategically—not just to “list,” but to attract the right buyers and maximize your outcome.

3 - Prep & staging guidance

I’ll give you clear, realistic recommendations on decluttering and light touch-ups, staging or styling tips, what’s worth doing and what's not. The goal is impact, not unnecessary spending.

4 - professional photos & marketing

Once your home is ready, we’ll launch professional photography and compelling online marketing exposure across major platforms. Your home is positioned to stand out from day one.

5 - Listing goes live

Your home hits the market. I’ll manage showing requests, feedback, and buyer interest while keeping you updated every step of the way.

6 - review offers

When offers come in, I’ll walk you through each one—price, terms, contingencies, timelines—and help you choose the strongest overall offer (not always just the highest number).

7 - negotiate & accept an offer

I will assist in negotiating the best price for your home.Once accepted, we’re officially under contract.

8 - inspections + appraisal

The buyer completes inspections and their lender orders an appraisal. I’ll help you navigate any repair requests or appraisal concerns and keep everything moving smoothly.

9 - prepare for closing

We coordinate title work, payoff figures, required documents, and moving timelines.I’ll make sure there are no last-minute surprises.

10 - final walkthrough

11 - closing day - YAY!

You sign, ownership transfers, and proceeds are distributed. I’ll be there to guide you through what to expect and when you’ll receive your funds.

12 - after the sale

Need help with your next purchase, a referral, or questions after closing? I don’t disappear once the sign comes down.

Relocating comes with a lot of moving parts. I help make the transition easier by walking you through Pittsburgh’s unique neighborhoods, helping you understand what fits your lifestyle best. Whether you’re touring from a distance or visiting in person, I’ll give you honest insight, local context, and steady guidance so you can make decisions with confidence—even from afar.

RELOCATING

1 - start with a conversation

2 - narrow down neighborhoods

Pittsburgh is made up of distinct neighborhoods—each with its own feel. Based on your priorities (space, walkability, schools, commute, character vs. newer homes), I’ll help you focus on areas that make sense for you, not just what shows up first online.

We’ll talk through why you’re moving, your timeline, budget, work situation, and what you actually want your day-to-day life to look like. I’ll also walk you through how the Pittsburgh market works so there are no surprises later.

3 - set expectations early

4 - get pre-approved

If you need a lender, I can connect you with trusted local professionals who understand the Pittsburgh market. This helps everything move more smoothly once we’re ready to make an offer.

We’ll cover what’s typical here—pricing ranges, property taxes, school districts, and what’s normal (and not normal) in local transactions. My goal is for you to feel informed and confident before we start touring homes.

5 - touring from a distance

6 - in-person showings

When you’re ready, we’ll tour homes that truly fit your criteria. I’ll help you evaluate condition, layout, long-term value, and resale considerations—not just whether it “looks nice.”

If you’re relocating from out of town, I can preview homes, provide detailed video walk-throughs, and give honest feedback so you’re not relying on listing photos alone. When you do come to town, we’ll use that time efficiently.

7 - writing a strong offer

8 - under contract - without the stress

From inspections to appraisal to lender coordination, I manage the details and keep you informed. Distance doesn’t have to mean uncertainty.

Once you find the right home, I’ll guide you through pricing, contingencies, timelines, and negotiation strategy so your offer is competitive while still protecting your interests.

9 - preparing for the move

10 - final walkthrough & closing

We confirm the home is in the agreed-upon condition, you close (in person or remotely), and the keys are yours.

As closing approaches, I’ll help with practical next steps—local resources, service referrals, and timing so your transition is as smooth as possible.

11 - after you've moved in

I don’t disappear after closing. Whether you need local recommendations, contractor referrals, or advice down the road, I’m here.

Referring a friend, family member, or client is personal, and I take that responsibility seriously. When you send someone my way, you can trust that they’ll receive the same honest communication, advocacy, and care I give every client.

CLIENT LOVE

We truly could not have asked for a better advocate, guide, and partner in this process. As first time homebuyers, we didn’t think that the size, style and move-in ready type of home would be affordable or available in our price range. Sharon really delivered for us.

CLIENT LOVE

My husband and I have had wonderful experiences with Sharon! Without details, we had to move twice this year. It was stressful circumstances that lead us to the second move. Sharon sold both houses and found us both houses. In the stressful times, Sharon was always there to explain processes, next steps and all requirements needed to make these moves as smooth as possible.

Sharon is amazing!!!! I needed a home fairly quickly and we were able to view a home in less than 24 hrs after contacting her! Im so blown away on how prompt she is! My family and I put down an offer right after the viewing. Later that night, we were notified we got the house!!! I am so overjoyed with excitement and appreciate her help so much. Sharon is the ONLY realtor I would go to when buying/selling a home.
