This is a very unique time in real estate right now in that demand for homes is far exceeding the supply . This is especially true in our West Jefferson Hills School District . If you have been contemplating the sale of your home , or the purchase of a new home in the District , now is the time for us to chat ! I can be reached at 412.831.0100 x3013 ( office ), 412.874.0415 ( cell ), or via email at dkruth @ northwood . com for a free real estate consultation .

Additionally , your transaction may be eligible for my established commission give back program . The program is intended to benefit the numerous local nonprofit organizations located within and serving the Pleasant Hills , Jefferson Hills and West Elizabeth communities . This list of nonprofit groups range from the local police and fire departments , and emergency medical service providers , to the Pleasant Hills Rotary Club , Lions Club , libraries , Chambers of Commerce , Community Food Banks and the Pleasant Hills Arboretum , just to name a few .
With over 12 years of experience as a real estate sales executive , the one thing that I can say with certainty that I ’ ve learned is that every client - whether buying a home , selling a home or both - enters into the adventure with their own form of motivation or pain they are trying to cure . Likewise , each transaction is unique . To that end , I began my career with the tag line “ I specialize in assisting my clients in finding the perfect “ homes to meet all of life ’ s changing needs .” To expand upon this concept I created this list of motivational scenarios . Whether you are :
➢ single and ready to move out from under mom and dad ’ s roof ,
➢ newlyweds ,
➢ a family that ’ s growing too fast for the space you ’ re currently occupying ,
➢ sending a child off to college that would prefer to live in a space more homey than a dorm room and roomier than a studio apartment ( presents a great investment opportunity !),
➢ empty nesters looking to downsize because your mobility is limited or managing your existing home has become a challenge ,
➢ in need of more space to accommodate caring for an ailing or elderly relative ,
➢ relocating for personal or career reasons ,
➢ needing to sell a parent ’ s estate ,
➢ interested in buying , fixing up and reselling , or
➢ experiencing the unfortunate circumstances of going through a divorce and need to sell the marital property and find a new home that you are able to afford on your own ,
➢ interested in purchasing a vacation / retirement property utilizing our relocation services .
Whatever your needs , rest assured , I ’ m prepared to guide you through the process .
I can honestly say that my client base does include people who were motivated into taking action during all of the above categories . I truly believe in educating my clients on the buying / selling process and serve as their trusted adviser not only during the transaction , but well beyond closing . They are grateful to have a advocate looking out for their best interests in what is typically the largest investment they will make in their lifetime .
To better assist my clients I hold 2 designations . I am an Accredited Staging Professional (“ ASP ”). As an ASP , I have the proven tools to assist sellers in getting the most money for their homes in the shortest period of time . I provide this service to all of my clients at no additional charge . ( I have even sold a staged home in one day !). My second designation as a Seniors Real Estate Specialist affords me a great opportunity to assist mature buyers and sellers with their very specific needs relative to either down-sizing , transitioning into an assisted living facility or moving back in with family members . As a lifelong resident of Pleasant Hills and a TJ graduate I have successfully counseled several parents of my former classmates , a few teachers and clients of local assisted living facilities through this always emotional down-sizing / transition process . One of my most recent clients had been in their home for 51 years ! I recently completed training in Interdisciplinary Collaborative Practice which is the fastest growing dispute resolution process , and a good alternative to resorting to the courts . This training will allow me to serve as a valuable team member alongside my clients ’ family law attorneys , financial advisers , mental health coaches and other professionals to arrive at solutions which promote the long-term best interests of those experiencing the difficulties associated with going through a divorce . The process provides a way for involved parties to restructure their family , resolve legal issues and move on with their lives . I will also be obtaining my Broker ’ s License over this summer .
I am confident that I have the experience , integrity and all the tools to assist you in finding the perfect home to meet all of your life ’ s changing needs , so please contact me today !
