Kelly Chess was both super patient (started this process last year after my father died) and super attentive and responsive. I received good advice on the process, the work I needed to do, and how to accomplish it. I did all of this from New Jersey. I had to come in to clean out the house, but everything else, including the closing, was done remotely. Kelly gave good advice on pricing and negotiating, and we ended up with a good deal. I would and have already recommended her to friends in the same situation in Monroeville.

I have purchased 2 different houses from Berkshire Hathaway so far and both experiences have been amazing! With my most recent experience, working with Nancy and Bill was nothing short of perfect. They are such an incredible team with so much knowledge and experience when it comes to home buying AND selling. They are very personable, organized, punctual, and EXTREMELY helpful. They always made sure to check in on my wife and I during the stressful process of homebuying and were always available whenever we needed them, no matter what time of day! I couldn't recommend these two enough, they make an incredible team!

I’m a Florida-based Realtor who specializes in life transitions. Recently, I was helping a family that needed to connect with an agent in Kelly’s area—someone experienced in downsizing and life transitions—to assist with their mother’s home. After researching several options, I connected with Kelly and immediately saw that she not only specializes in this work but is genuinely passionate about helping families through these meaningful changes. From the start, Kelly communicated clearly, offered thoughtful guidance, and patiently handled every detail to help the family achieve their goal: selling the home and relocating their mom to Florida to be closer to them. If you're looking for a professional, dependable Realtor—and an all-around incredible advisor—look no further. Kelly Chess is the one you want on your side!

Julia Ciccarelli made our home buying, and subsequent home selling experience incredible. She was our realtor when we first moved to Pittsburgh who found us our incredible home, and she was the same realtor when we eventually sold it 4.5yrs later. I can’t even begin to express how much she’s meant to our family through both experiences. She cares - like, really cares. It doesn’t feel like a transaction, it feels like family. We’re forever grateful for all she’s done for us, and we’ll miss working with her. Thank you, Julia! We love you and the entire Berkshire Hathaway family.
