Michael Ragan Jr

We used B-H Home Services for both the house we bought and the one we sold.

The working together helped us to find the ideal house for us to move to and at the same time helped us sell our house even though the two houses were 500 miles apart. For example, when we couldn't be at the closing of the house we were selling, the agency where we bought our house help with notarizing documents.

David and Mary Dawn Edwards

Berni was fantastic!

She took the time to teach us how to look for a house, and was willing to walk us through as many houses as we were curious in. Finding a home would not of been possible without her!

Reagan Harper

Joe was really wonderful.

I've already recommended him to two others, and I will continue to do so. I couldn't have asked for a better agent

Roy A. McCracken

As out-of-state first time home buyers looking for a primary residence we had very limited viewing time because we preferred in-person visits.

We chose Emily Bua after interviewing nearly 20 realtors including people with more experience. We found Emily to be more professional and easy to approach unlike others who had a hands-off approach. After our interview we knew we had a reliable, detail oriented person. Emily made herself available during our limited viewing time in Pittsburgh. She was available for extended times across different city neighborhoods and suburbs. She understood our needs and preferences, and gave us additional options even though we had our own list. After a few disappointing days, we went with her suggestions and visited a few more neighborhoods, and finally found a home that fit our critieria. She quickly helped us draft an offer and followed-up with a professional comps analysis. Our offer was accepted. Immediately after the acceptance of the offer, she gave us a timeline of different procedures for a successful on-time closing. This helped us to focus on specific tasks at specific times - this greatly reduced our work load. She took care of all the documentation and explained all the terms clearly - most others rely on the buyers to read through and to understand the documents. We truly appreciate her assistance and professionalism in helping us find our first home.

Every aspect of the home search and sale was easier with her familiarity with Pittsburgh. Professional, personable, reliable and with fine wit, She’s the best.

Melissa came highly recommended to me, and she lived up to her reputation.

She took care of things with ease and shared her knowledge of selling houses many times over. Melissa sold two homes for me in less than 2 months. I would suggest that anyone looking for an agent who cares about you and your property call her.

Carol Briney

Berni Bishop-Pirollo is absolutely fantastic!

We couldn't have asked for a better realtor! She has skillfully and wisely guided us through the difficult process of buying a home in a place that's a five-hour drive from where we are currently living. We are grateful that our awesome realtor in Virginia recommended her.

Mary Frances Arabian

Beth is an AMAZING realtor!

!!! She exceeded our expectations constantly, and we felt so lucky to have found her. She made the whole process seem easy, and we felt like she had our back the whole time. She's our forever realtor :)

Fabiana Licata

Eileen was amazing!

I didn’t know much about the process and as the executor it was very overwhelming at times, but Eileen always took time to walk me through it. She gave great guidance and helped us finalize the sale. She also navigated some difficult family dynamics like a pro! Highly recommend Eileen Doheny.

Estate of Norma Buchwach

Emily Bua was professional, well-informed, timely, and cheerful throughout the entire process.

Scott O'Neal

We had the pleasure of working with Emily to buy our first home earlier this year.

From the very beginning, Emily demonstrated a level of dedication and professionalism that exceeded our expectations. Emily navigated us through the entire process from start to finish. We had a lot of questions, busy schedules, and wanted to feel ‘in control’ of everything. She took the time to understand our needs; gave sound and accurate advice; and coordinated everything with the listing agent, title company, and our mortgage company to ensure a smooth process while keeping us in the loop every step of the way. We actually encountered some issues with our loan officer in the eleventh hour – the officer missed some financial details on our CD and wasn’t responding to my outreaches to correct it by the deadline date for our scheduled closing. Emily took over and through her tenacity and persistence, we got the paperwork corrected and closed on time. I would recommend Emily to anyone in need of a real estate agent who is not only highly skilled, but is also honest, dedicated, and truly a pleasure to work with. I’m grateful for everything she did to help us buy our first home.

Mary Dilucente

Working with Dominic Janidas was a very positive experience.

I felt that he had my best interest in mind at every step . He also proved to be very knowledgeable and generous in sharing his expertise. I look forward to working with Dominic again if the opportunity arises.

Gabriela Ramirez

It was a very satisfying experience with Eileen guiding us through the sale of our condo.

We were able to sell it in short time due to her advice pertaining to getting it ready and what she felt would attract buyers interest.

Margaret Copeland, Administratrix

Ellen did awesome and was one of the best realtors we have had the pleasure of working with.

Highly recommend her in the future.l!

Dakota and Emily Johnson Zablow

Dominic gave us excellent advice on how best to sell our property and we not only sold quickly but got above our asking price.

He stays in constant communication and goes above and beyond to make the transaction smooth. Can't recommend highly enough (have already referred him to a friend who is looking to sell a house).

Wendy Arons

Joe Pegher was great to deal with.

Professional and responsive.

Rick Markham

The home purchase experience comes with very expectations.

Berni Pirollo and Berkshire Hathaway exceeded my expectations. The attention to details and the communication and explanation of those details made our purchase very pleasant.

Robert Bernardini

I cannot say enough great things about Tatjana Douglas.

This is the second transaction that sge has helped me with and she is amazing! We dealt with an unprofessional and unethical Buyer’s agent and Tatjana helped me through every step in the process. She was not just my agent, but my partner throughout the entire process. I wouldn’t even think about engaging a different agent for any purchase/sale transaction!

Karina Livshin

I’ve known Emily Bua for many years.

Before she started in real estate. She loves finding new homes for her clients. She found ours and ever so grateful. We lived out of town at the time so we only saw pictures and videos. Saw the house the day before closing. It was a perfect match. She is an amazing realtor.

Susan Frey

She is very nice, very helpful, so easy to work with

Y Nhu Fisher

Eileen was an absolute godsend to my family.

I came from Washington state for a medical emergency with my brother. It was necessary to sell his home in Pittsburgh. I don't know how I would have navigated the sale without the compassionate expertise of Eileen. She knows the Pittsburgh area intimately. She is the hardest worker I have met. She has amazing client/realtor skills. She works endlessly for the best outcomes for all involved. Eileen was there to lead and guide me through the whole listing, selling, showing, estate sale, and closing processes. Her positivity and people skills supported me through a difficult time. Eileen is your person for any realty needs!

Chris P.

Zhou Zhong

My wife and I feel very lucky to have selected Ellen Livingston as our real estate agent for selling our house in Pittsburgh.

Being already past the age of 80 and having lived in the same house for 46 years, we were not the typical sellers. Ellen was a perfect choice for us. She showed patience with us and kept us informed of every step of the way. She always could be reached in a very short time, no matter the time of day. She regularly kept us informed of all the developments in the process and reminded us of the things we needed to do. She was very thorough in gathering all information about the house and the market in the neighborhood. She listened intently to our good and bad selling points so she would come up with an accurate selling price. As a result, we feel she was able to sell the house very quickly and at a good and fair price. She even came to our house to help with our packing and find junk removers and cleaning crews. Her work paid off when someone in the neighborhood who happened to be looking for a house met Ellen while she was at our house helping with moving the day before the house was to go on the market. Ellen reluctantly showed the house at a chaotic time but the prospect and her husband became the buyers. The closing was almost exactly one month later. Ellen continued to show her valuable help by finding crews to fix electrical, plumbing and other problems discovered in the inspection. Not only did Ellen do a superb job in selling our house but she was a key for us to find the house we bought by her putting us in contact with another outstanding Berkshire- Hathaway agent 500 miles away.

David J Edwards

Lori Kashelack’s attention to detail, her research, and guidance have been invaluable to us.

Maryann Sivak

I worked with Mike buying my first house in 2019, It was a great experience.

I was digging through some old emails and was flooded with all of the memories of the home buying process. As stressful as it was Mike was always responsive, optimistic, and could answer any of the questions that I had. Mike made the home buying process easy.

Brendon Bittel

A real estate company is made up of realtors.

And Joe Pegher is a great realtor—he’s the partner you want beside you at every tour, contract, and curveball. Across 67 home tours, he was always patient, always prepared and on time, and treated every interaction with tact and every person—buyer, seller, or agent—with care and integrity. More than once he steered us toward homes that would have earned him a smaller commission because he thought they were better for us. He listened closely, flagged details we would have missed, and handled each step with calm expertise. By closing day we hadn’t just bought the right house; we’d gained a trusted friend. If you want an agent who's a consummate professional, puts clients ahead of commissions, and treats you with genuine care, choose Joe. We recommend him wholeheartedly.

"We worked with Beth Cox, a part of “Team Rost” at Berkshire Hathaway. To start, as the sellers, we appreciated Beth’s willingness to help us with the selling price point because of her knowledge of our area and what the fair market value should be.She held several open houses and always approached us with times and dates that worked for all of us. After each open house she called with her thoughts about the potential buyers and their thoughts…she never left us wondering.Beth was very responsive to our questions/concerns and replied promptly and with clarity to whatever information we requested. She was professional and also a friendly calming force during our transaction.The future buyers were extremely eager to take ownership once our home was sold. We were out of state at that juncture. Beth helped to negotiate a time line that both parties could live with and agree to. As part of “Team Rost” we know that Beth had others to check in with and gather information from…she was not a lone wolf. All of that helped to lead us on the path to a seamless sale of our home."
