SPONSORED CONTENT BUSINESS SPOTLIGHT SPONSORED CONTENT T his 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 South Fayette Township since it was recently named the top school district in southwestern Pennsylvania for the third year in a row! If you have been contemplating the sale of your home, or the purchase of a new home in South Fayette, or the purchase of a new home in South Fayette, 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. Additionally, your transaction may be eligible for my established commission giveback program in the South Fayette community that funds a scholarship for a graduating senior choosing to study science, technology or engineering in college. Three such scholarships have been awarded since 2016 and this year’s recipeint was Michael Kugler who will be studying mechanical engineering at the University of Pittsburgh. With over 12 years of experience as a real estate sales executive, one thing 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 tagline “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 the following 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 who 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 the need to care for an ailing or elderly relative, ➢ relocating for personal or career reasons, ➢ needing to sell a parent’s estate, ➢ 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 buying, fixing up and reselling, or ➢ 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 in 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 an 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 two 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 downsizing, transitioning into an assisted living facility or moving in with family members. I also 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’ attorneys, financial advisers, health coaches and other professionals to arrive at solutions that promote the long-term bes t 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 this summer. I am confident that I have the experience and all the tools to assist you in finding the perfect home to meet all of your life’s changing needs, so contact me today!
