IN South Fayette Summer 2019 | Page 39

SPONSORED CONTENT BUSINESS SPOTLIGHT T he demand for homes continues to far exceed the supply. This is especially true in South Fayette Township since it remains one of the top school districts in southwestern Pennsylvania, coming in at #3 for 2019. If you have been Darlene B. Kruth contemplating the sale of your home, 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 [email protected]. Additionally, your transaction may be eligible for my well- 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. Five such scholarships have been awarded since 2016 and this year’s recipients were Rachel Dorfner, who will be studying mechanical engineering at the University of Notre Dame, and Helina VanBibber, who will be studying biomedical engineering at Case Western Reserve University. With over 13 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 or selling a home, or both— enters into the adventure with their own form of motivation. Therefore, 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 partial list of motivational scenarios. You may be: ➢ single and ready to move out from under Mom & Dad’s roof ➢ newlyweds ➢ a family that’s growing too fast for the space you’re currently occupying ➢ empty-nesters looking to downsize because your mobility is limited or managing your existing home has become a challenge ➢ 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. Whatever your needs, rest assured I’m prepared to guide you through the process. 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. SPONSORED CONTENT Darlene took care of our home needs and stuck in there with us when we were having a problem finding “the one.” She was patient, professional and helpful the entire way! We couldn’t have done it without her. I would (and already have) referred her to people I know looking to buy or sell a home. —Nancy 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 have also 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 allows 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 best 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. This year I’m excited to announce that I have joined efforts with several networking partners who are professional organizers and interior designers to conduct free seminars on “The Upside of Downsizing” and “Home Renovations that Pay for Themselves.” If you have a club or group who you think would benefit from these presentations, please contact me to set up a free seminar. 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!
