Melissa Shipley and her team were recommended to us by a former realtor to help us find and purchase our first home. We were excited and anxious as we were also relocating back “home” to Pittsburgh from out-of-state but knew we could not have asked for anyone better than Melissa. She is extremely helpful, professional yet kind and personable. Melissa made sure we were completely comfortable with our offer in a multi-bid situation and was always there to answer our many questions. We are now in our beautiful home thanks to her. If we ever need a realtor in the future, she will be our first call!

As first time home buyers, my wife and I were extremely nervous to jump in to the daunting home buying process. Working with Melissa Shipley made our entire experience incredibly smooth. Melissa was incredible in working with us through the entire process, from starting by looking at a few homes on weeknights through instructing us at closing day, she was there for us. It made the entire process so smooth and painless. We are so happy with our new home!

Melissa and her staff are wizards. We interviewed 3 realtors and by far Melissa was the top one. Her knowledge, enthusiasm and experience were exactly what we needed as we moved forward. Our house sold in 3 days. It was hard for us to believe. Melissa continued to guide us through the closing process which was as pain free as possible. You’d be silly not to check out their services. Clearly the work is a mission, not just a job.

Lexi Brown was very helpful and patient. She led us through the process of preparing and selling an estate property. There can be some very stressful situations arise in selling a home. Lexi never lost her cool while not only dealing with me but also dealing with our daughters , son in laws, and estate attorney. There were several ups and downs in this particular sale, and we had to navigate this stream with very little of our own knowledge of selling a property. We trusted her to do what was best for our situation. She did a professional job and was very understanding with us.

Jordan was great through our home buying process. She responded to emails and text messages very quickly and kept in touch with us with developments from sellers and the listing agent during the offer to closing process. While I don't expect to be purchasing/selling another home anytime soon I would certainly seek to work with her again if I was.

What a pleasant experience we had with Jordan Gropp. She was amazing! So helpful, knowledgeable, sacrificial, and ready to assist in any way. Her services have meant the world to us. We were equally pleased with Jake (inspector), Anthony (broker), and Sev? (Title agent.) What a team. Thank you!

Hailey Means was a godsend in helping us navigate totally unfamiliar waters. She guided us each step of the way and was always available to answer questions or provide encouragement. She went above and beyond our expectations, and we are very grateful for her expertise and sweet spirit. We were thrilled not only with how quickly our home sold but the price that we received for it. The Melissa Shipley Team was recommended to us by our dear friend, Haley Dillman, and from the beginning of our experience with the team, we completely understood Haley's assurance that we would be in good hands. We also want to express our thanks to Jordan who was with us during the closing; we connected with her right away and appreciated her being there. The closing process went quickly and smoothly and was actually enjoyable. Thanks to everyone at Berkshire Hathaway for living up to your name. You certainly are "The Preferred Realty."

Melissa and her team did an awesome job selling our home! She worked tirelessly to make sure our experience was as smooth as possible. Her team used all the latest tools to market the home (like social media), took great photography for the listing, and were incredibly proactive in making sure the home was getting foot traffic during the listing process. She is incredibly responsive in her communication, and she took full ownership of her realtor responsibilities. When unexpected problems came up in the process, she always made sure to get to the bottom of them as quickly as possible. We highly recommend Melissa!

For as complicated and difficult buying a house can be, Berkshire made the process of purchase less complicated for me by taking care of negotiations and complications by updating me on them and asking what I would like addressed. My realtor was very detailed with the process and knowledgeable with information and resources. Even when unexpected things happened on the day of closing, Berkshire made things possible for closing. I thank Berkshire Home-services, for making my first time home buying experience possible!

Lexi was amazing. Went to high school with Lexi and found out she sold a house on my street months before I was ready to sell mine. Messaged her and within minutes we were talking about dates and numbers on my house! The market was very stressful at the time, but Lexi continued to reassure me that everything will be okay and takes some time! I couldn’t have asked for a better person to help me sell my house and move onto the next chapter in my life!! Sending all my friends and family that are in the market or selling to Lexi and her team! Thank you so much again! - Robbie
