If you ’ re tired of the old corporate names in real estate , Realty One is bringing a new generation and philosophy to the market with Realtors like Aimee O ’ Connor and Lynsey Tappe .
For the past 10 years , O ’ Connor has been selling real estate in the South Hills . A former radio talent , O ’ Connor got into real estate after she settled in the area with her family and has been growing her business ever since . “ My focus is on the South Hills , but I ’ ve done a lot of work out toward Moon and in the North Hills , so I ’ m familiar with the entire region ,” she notes .
Working in the same office , O ’ Connor and Tappe became fast friends and began supporting each other ’ s growth . Both have earned their Certified Negotiation Expert and Residential Relocation Specialist designations , and have been constant multimillion-dollar producers . Recognized for National Sales Excellence , putting them in the top 5 percent of agents nationwide , they also have been in the AEF Ring of Excellence , voted 5-Star Agents and have been recognized by the Pittsburgh Business Times as Who ’ s Who List Ranked Realtors in Pittsburgh for residential real estate .
While O ’ Connor loves all of her clients , whether they be first-time homebuyers or downsizing seniors , she ’ s been increasingly finding herself sought out by move-up buyers looking to find the space they need for their growing families .
Although they are longtime friends and Realtors , and help each other out frequently , O ’ Connor and Tappe aren ’ t a formal team . Tappe , who has been in the real estate business for nearly 10 years , also started when she and her family settled down in the South Hills .
I work with luxury , move up , downsizes , buyers , sellers and alot of first timers a handful of investors and have helped several relocation . Working all over the city of pittsburgh , south hills and some parts of washington county .
Technology is a staple of their business . They have their own designated app with Realty One to assist clients on the go with property information and open houses . “ Realty One has provided a great opportunity to better help my clients ,” Tappe said . “ And with the top-of-the-line technology that Aimee and I are bringing to them , we ’ re really shaking things up in the area .”
A focus on bleeding-edge technology , like a Matterport 3-D virtual-reality camera , gives O ’ Connor and Tappe the ability to offer online tours inside a home similar to what Google ’ s Street View system does for neighborhoods .
Tappe explained that the Matterport camera has changed the game for potential buyers , allowing them to save time on attending open houses for homes that don ’ t really fit the bill .
“ We did our first virtual house in South Fayette , and then one in Dormont , which ended up being sold to a local person who was able to tour the house from their vacation spot in DisneyWorld ,” she said . “ We can email the tour to anyone and it ’ s really just like walking through the house from your computer or tablet . Some places just use the technology on million-dollar homes , but we ’ re opening it up to everybody because it saves everyone time , effort and stress .”
Another benefit they ’ ve found with Realty One is the “ Moving Concierge ” program that guides buyers and sellers through the process of packing and moving — everything from utility changes and moving assistance to week-byweek instructions to ensure a smooth transition . “ All of these tools really put us a step ahead of the competition and help us to provide better service to our clients ,” said O ’ Connor .
