[Highland Park] Realtor recommendation: Holly Sisk
by Shannon Hula 16 Aug '12

16 Aug '12

Hi everyone- We just wanted to provide a recommendation for the most wonderful Realtor. We just bought a home with Holly Sisk from Re/max<http://www.pittsburghrealestatesolutions.com/>and we could not be more pleased. We are happy to provide further details by email, but suffice it to say here that Holly is incredible. As you might know from your own experience, finding the right home is sometimes only a tiny fraction of the time, work, and stress that it takes to actually buy the house. Holly worked her butt off for us every step of the way, from start to finish and even beyond closing. She knows absolutely everything about the industry, the market, and the process, and was not fazed when unusual problems or circumstances arose. She also has an amazing repertoire of contacts in the various realty-related fields, and often was on the phone with our inspection company, lender, or home warranty company sorting out issues without having to involve us as middlemen. Of course, she did involve us when it was appropriate to do so, and always came to us with viable solutions already thought out. It is rare to find a professional that is so easy to communicate with. We know that she must have slept or taken the occasional day off, but it seemed like Holly was available to respond to our messages, emails, and texts 24/7 (even when she was laid up with the flu), which really facilitated several stages of the process. Holly is definitely a "Type A" personality...she is focused, detail-oriented, and goal-driven. As she told us herself once, she likes to win, and that makes her a huge asset to have on your side when negotiating for a home. Please consider using Holly for your realty needs-- you will be glad you did. Let us know if you want any further information. Will & Shannon Hula
