★★★★★
"When I was searching for a new house I needed to find a realtor who was familiar with the Regent Square area. I met Allison at an open house and I was impressed by her knowledge of the area. I did end up purchasing a house in Regent Square and Allison was extremely helpful throughout the entire process. She was always immediately responsive to my inquiries no matter the day or time of day. From the initial search through the negotiation process, she made things as painless as could be when buying a home."

★★★★★
"Allison was a wonderful agent and now we consider her our friend. We were selling our home in Shadyside and she recommended a few changes before listing such as repainting the dining room to a more neutral color. We were in Florida when an offer was made quite quickly-we negotiated over the phone with an earlier than expected closing. Allison not only sold our house but found us our new home. We closed on our old home in the morning and closed on our new house in the afternoon. All this within 6 weeks. Allison was also our agent for our present house. Allison is very knowledgeable, professional and a pleasure to work with. She has a very calm presence about her--much needed in the stressful situation of real estate."

★★★★★
"We needed to sell the family home quickly. Allison prepared us by explaining the whole process, from prepping the home, to determining what to fix to help get the best value while at the same time selling as quickly as possible. Her photographs of the home were outstanding. She kept us informed, provided good counsel and was such a pleasure to work with. I will use her again and again!"

★★★★★
"Allison provided everything we could have hoped for when selling our house. We called her in a panic, needing to sell our house quickly. She immediately took control and made us feel at ease, during an extremely stressful time. From our very first phone call, Allison made us feel like we were her only clients and gave us the assurance we needed while remaining honest and realistic about the process.

Allison got our home prepped to sell quickly and cost-effectively. She managed the entire process for us while we were away. We trusted her completely to coordinate a cleaning crew, painters and contractors to get the house ready and she did not disappoint! Her artistic ability to photograph a completely empty home was outstanding and helped to generate a ton of interest in the house. She explained every step to us and offered the advice we were seeking without every being pushy. Allison stood with us and supported us every step of the way and we were thrilled with the outcome"

★★★★★
"We met Allison through a listing in Troy Hill we emailed her about that was already spoken for. She offered to show us a similar listing in East Liberty, and from there we started to work with her. She was always super responsive, and was supportive when we decided to put in an offer earlier than we expected to. She helped us negotiate, and we ended up with the perfect house in Bloomfield. She's great with neighborhoods-- we were looking all over, and ended up in our number one area. Allison never pressured us about anything, and was always super supportive and helpful. We would highly recommend her!"

About Allison

Hello, I’m Allison, your local expert in Pittsburgh’s most sought-after city neighborhoods, primarily Squirrel Hill, Point Breeze and Shadyside. I work with established homeowners who are navigating complex transitions. My clients are often upsizing, downsizing, or buying and selling at the same time, and they want a clear, well-executed strategy to move forward with confidence.

With over 22 years of experience, I guide clients through the decisions that matter most: Should we stay and improve, or is it time to move? How do we sequence a sale and purchase? How do we protect value in a competitive market? I bring clarity to these questions through straight talk, thoughtful planning, and disciplined execution.

My specialty lies in the intersection of design and presentation, data and strategy, and hyper-local market knowledge. My team and I take a highly curated, strategic approach to listing homes—focused on positioning, pricing, and preparation—to maximize value and minimize unnecessary days on market. For buyers, I help anticipate the market, source opportunities proactively, and negotiate with intention.

I guide my clients differently by asking the hard questions early and listening closely to uncover what truly matters to them. Advocacy, communication, and integrity shape every step of my process. I rely on a trusted team and professional partners to manage the details, so my clients can focus on what matters most in their lives.

I live and work in the neighborhoods I serve and still call my childhood home home. That perspective, paired with decades of experience through changing markets and personal transitions, allows me to lead with patience, perspective, and steady judgment.

Many of my clients are professionals connected to Pittsburgh’s universities and hospitals, as well as long-time East End homeowners planning their next chapter. When relocation is part of the picture, I connect clients with trusted Compass agents across the country to ensure continuity and care beyond Pittsburgh.

After working with me, clients feel clear, confident, and supported—knowing they made a thoughtful, well-timed decision that protects value and fits their life. They move forward without second-guessing, trusting both the process and the outcome.

Empowering Smart Real Estate Moves.
