Lilli and Zach were so incredibly helpful and knowledgeable. I was overwhelmed and intimidated by the process but those feelings completely evaporated with their help. I was grateful to have their experience in construction and community development informing our search as it oriented us and helped simplify the search. I know we saved hours of time searching with their guidance. We encountered a number of hiccups with financing and insurance along the way and their suggestions helped us resolve those quickly so we could keep our closing date. Lilli and Zach's holistic approach to our home search is certainly why we found a fantastic home that is a cozy fit for me and my partner. Thanks Zach and Lilli!
Lillian was amazing! As first time homebuyers we were overwhelmed by the process but Lillian really helped to simplify it. She was great at evaluating homes, helping us learn what to look for, and guiding us in clarifying what we wanted. She was honest, clear, and thoughtful. Can't recommend her enough!
We worked with Lillian when purchasing our house in late 2019 and also when selling our house in 2024 when we moved to another city. In both our purchasing and selling experience Lillian was incredibly generous with her time and had great expertise in the process as well as knowledge about specific neighborhoods, contractors, inspectors, etc. Lillian was able to negotiate issues that came up during our buying and selling process, helping us to identify to solutions that kept the process on track and moving towards a good outcome. Lillian was a pleasure to work with and we recommend her and the team highly.
Lillian was great to work with as we searched for our new home. She helped us navigate the Pittsburgh market and gave us very thoughtful and professional advice, and was very personable as well. Thanks, Lillian!
We've worked with Lillian multiple times now and our experience has been wonderful every single time. She won't pressurize you into making a decision and lets you take the time to think about what you really want from a house. She will also share contacts of the handymen, home inspectors, mortgage providers, etc,. if you are in need of one, in some cases even many years after the purchase. She'll answer all your questions promptly. I highly recommend working with her, doesn't matter if you are a first time home buyer or an experienced one. We've worked with her for over 5 years now on multiple purchases and have been highly satisfied.
If you're buying a home for the first time, you will rely a lot on the experience and wisdom of others. Lillian was recommended by a friend who bought her first home last year and I was really pleased with how things turned out. Lillian is very knowledgeable about the process, was super responsive and reasonable, and helped us get what we wanted. I had a lot of seemingly silly questions and she answered them all without judgment. She will point out things about a potential house that you may not notice as a first time homebuyer (especially if you are touring a flip) and get you through negotiations with sound advice. I would happily recommend her to others in the area.
My wife and I decided to buy a house in Pittsburgh earlier this year, and as first time homebuyers, it was pretty intimidating. We read about all sorts of opinions online, as well as heard from friends and family, about how to do things the right way and what to do and what not to do. One thing that came up consistently was that finding a good realtor early on was extremely important. But we weren't really sure how to find someone, so we asked around in our network of friends in Pittsburgh. Fortunately for us, we knew a couple that had closed on a house earlier this year (our former apartment neighbors, actually) and they recommended Lillian to us. As a first time homebuyer, it's the first time I've worked with a realtor. I don't know what other realtors are like, and how to compare Lillian to them. However, I can say that if I had to buy a house again, I would choose Lillian again in a heartbeat. I'm sure you can find other reviews for her here that mention all of her good points, like being quick to respond, helpful and patient, knowledgeable and thorough, competent and kind, and more. But I'll try and keep it short and just say that I'm very glad that we got to work with Lillian, and hopefully she stays in the real estate business for a long time so that we can work with her again at some point.
The first time I met Lillian, she sat down with me for 1-2 hours and just wanted to hear about how I ended up wanted a home, and how I arrive to this point in life. She truly cares about finding something that is relevant to your life journey and makes sense for your overall goals -- not just matching you up with any old/new home. She also was incredible at providing recommendations for reliable contractors who do good work. I thought the process was going to be super stressful since it's my first house purchase, but Lillian and her team have everything so streamlined, that it was actually pretty easy! Also, she's wonderful at pointing things out during home walk-throughs, such as looking for moisture accumulation, structural issues, etc. She loves her work and it shows through her immense knowledge and willingness to share it. She will provide recommendations during the negotiation process, too, but she will always ask you about your priorities and goals to make sure you are making the decision that is best for you. I'm recommending Lillian to some of my closest friends now too because of my experience.
I have only nice things to say about Lillian. Lillian was referred to us by our work colleagues, and we absolutely loved working with her! Immediately within our first meeting with Lillian, we were able to establish a timeline, expectations, and several showings that gave her (and ourselves) a better idea of what we desired in our new home. She was patient, honest, and exceptionally knowledgeable about homes in Pittsburgh. It's not every day that you can work with a realtor to find a home, make an offer, and close within a month. She was extremely professional, communicated well and promptly, and most importantly advocated for us as her clients. I trust Lillian wholeheartedly and will continue to refer friends and family her way.
Lillian was incredible to work with during my first home purchase. She took the time to get to know me and my specific home needs, and she was never pushy. Her knowledge of the local market and its trends helped me stay realistic and focused during the search. Very importantly for first time homebuyers, she is incredibly knowledgeable about local government and lender programs to assist with a first purchase. I really cant imagine trusting someone more to help me navigate through this processaEUR"her expertise, compassion, and toughness will get you where you want to be!
We purchased our first home with Lillian and I am so very grateful for her help, expertise, and care in helping us in our journey. Lillian met with us first to get an idea of what we were looking for and really helped us understand the home buying process, including information on neighborhoods, the costs from beginning to end, and some potential stressors and roadblocks we might face. Lillian made great recommendations for lenders, home inspectors, and craftsman - they were all respectful of my time, thorough, and cared about the work they did. Working with Lillian was a joy. She is a knowledgeable and patient advisor during the process. We visited several different homes, in different neighborhoods, and in different states of repair. Lillian was helpful in pointing out things to watch for, get a sense of when certain major systems may need replaced, and risks/benefits of each property without us ever feeling pressured or pushed to make a decision before we were ready. I really appreciated the time she took with to really imagine our new lives in each property and see if that fit with what we wanted. I would absolutely recommend Lillian to anyone searching for a home in the Pittsburgh area!
We loved working with Lillian to find our home. She is kind, patient, knowledgeable, trustworthy. She is generous with her time and presence. Lillian guided us through our offer, negotiation, contract, and closing with care. We felt we could reach out with any questions big or small throughout our entire time working together. She has excellent resources - everyone she works directly with and recommended to us throughout the process from lender to home inspector, title company, and others, were incredible. We highly recommend reaching out to Lillian!
I'm not sure I can properly convey what an amazing experience my husband and I had working with Lillian. I purposefully sought her out early in our house search because she looked relatable and seemed to genuinely care about her clients. Upon our first meeting, she exceeded any expectations we had. She took an hour (maybe more) to ask us thoughtful questions and clarify common misconceptions on the Pgh housing market (high taxes dont always mean good schools!). She helped us find quality listings, and was frank, but kind, in her assessment of each of them. She was always extremely responsive, thorough, and calm. She has a sharp acumen for the Pittsburgh market, and we trusted her assessments completely. Her relationships with mortgage companies and inspectors were invaluable, as we received both a competitive rate and an extremely thorough home inspection. When she was out of town, we worked with her teammates, the also wonderful Julie & Ted Block. We felt extremely well cared for throughout the home buying and selling process. We both have experience in real estate, but feel Lillian would also be a dream agent for first time homebuyers. We cannot recommend her enough.
Lillian is an agent par excellence. She has helped us buy two homes now, and she has been invaluable during each process. She is especially knowledgable about the Pittsburgh area (and its very unique housing stock).
Lillian is amazing, super-helpful with questions, concerns and her knowledge of houses. She is available, and flexible with her schedule. Well connected to many resources for the house buying process. She communicates well, and makes the house buying process go smoothly. This is the second house I have purchased with Lillian, and would do it again tomorrow if I needed to!
Lillian was a dream to work with. Shes friendly, knowledgeable, and savvy. I looked for months before I bought my house, and Lillian was steadfast the whole way, providing wise advice and an empathetic ear. It felt like working with a friend.
I cannot recommend Lillian enough. She was wonderful in helping my partner and I buy our first home. We had an initial hour-plus conversation where she explained the whole process in great detail and answered a ton of my questions. She was caring, helpful, and happy to talk through the pros and cons of different options. She conducted excellent and well-planned tours. She was consistently accessible even outside normal working hours, and on top of time-sensitive decisions. And she gave invaluable advice when we needed to confer on bargaining strategy. I felt in particular that she was excellent for a first-time homebuyer, and would absolutely recommend her to anyone.
Lillian is an excellent real estate agent! She has a deep understanding of the housing market and freely discusses possible issues with property that a home buyer should assess before buying. If I decide to buy a second property, I would seek Lillian's help.
I loved working with Lillian. So much so that I was sad my house hunt was over because we wouldnt get to work together anymore! Lillian is so knowledgeable about neighborhoods in and around Pittsburgh, and she knows a TON about houses (especially old ones!). Lillian is patient and thorough; she really took her time with me and pointed out all of the little details in every house we saw. She also made sure that I got the best deal possible and helped me navigate the period between putting in an offer and closing on my home. If I buy another house, I would work with Lillian again in a heartbeat!
Could not recommend Lillian more highly. Lillian provided a highly detailed comparative analysis to help us set the right price for our home. She also did a thorough walkthrough with us and made realistic suggestions for small improvements that would help make our listing more desirable. Once the house was listed, she was in constant communication with us for everything from fielding offers to the the final closing, making sure everything was taken care of. We had a tremendous experience with her and would recommend her services to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.
We had a great experience with Lillian as our real estate agent. She was thoroughly knowledgeable about the process and took us through everything step-by-step. She was kind, patient, and collaborative in our home-buying journey. We never felt any kind of pressure from Lillian during the buying process, and she really communicated with us throughout to ensure that we were comfortable at each step, even when drafting our offer on the home that we bought. We were beyond fortunate in that our first offer was accepted, and we owe a lot of thanks for that to Lillian: Not only did she help us to write a competitive offer that was well within our financial means and budget, but she encouraged us throughout to be thoughtful and intentional about the houses that we toured, as well.When we first met with Lillian, we had created a list of must-haves, deal-breakers, and would-be-nices, and she truly took the time to get to know us and to ensure that she understood why each item was important to us. The only reason I put 4 stars for responsiveness, is that Zillow considers 5 stars to be "immediate responses," and in this day and age, do you really want instant responses to everything?! Lillian ALWAYS responded within 24 hours, and if it was urgent, she always responded well before then. The reason I point this out is that if your realtor is truly "immediately responsive," then he or she is likely not being respectful of the clients that she is with during showings, meetings, or contract writing; so in my opinion, Zillow has the idea of 5 stars for responsiveness completely wrong! ;) Lillian was beyond adequately responsive for us, and we appreciated that when we were meeting with her, we had her FULL attention and aid. That was exactly what we wanted in our real estate agent - someone who valued her customers' time, as much as we valued hers.If you're looking to buy a home in the Pittsburgh area, we 20/10 recommend Lillian!!
Lillian is absolutely wonderful! Not only did she help us buy our first home, but when we unexpectedly had to relocate for work, helped us sell. She explained every step of both processes thoroughly for us. I never felt like I was in the dark and when I was unclear on something, she always provided a thoughtful answer. I would highly recommend Lillian to anyone, but especially first-time home buyers/sellers.
Lillian was amazing in getting us our first home! She is super knowledgeable about all aspects house construction and the market, things we had no idea about so it was so important to have her guiding us. Lillian was incredibly patient and listened to what we wanted while giving us helpful advice along the way. Everyone she recommended to us, from the lender to the inspectors, were top notch and we loved our whole team. We love our new home so so much, thank you Lillian!
I've worked with Lillian on one sale and two purchases and there's a reason I keep going back to her. She is incredibly adept at helping you get what you want and is -full- of helpful information and direction to make it happen. On top of being outstanding at her job, she is a gem of a human and an absolute pleasure to work with.
Lillian helped us buy a new home and sell our old one. She was very pleasant and patient as we went through the often frustrating and disheartening process finding the right home for us (two people with often different and even conflicting), even and especially amidst one of the most competitive markets in recent memory. After we'd moved, she helped us again through the process of selling our old home. Her expertise was invaluable in not just analyzing and evaluating the offers we got, but also keeping in mind what elements were important to us. We heard about Lillian from a friend who had a similar experience and we eagerly recommend her to anyone else we talk to who is looking to buy or sell a home in this area.
We used Lillian as our agent. We are very pleased with her level of service. Communication, availability, and knowledge was great. I wouldnt hesitate to recommend her to anyone.
As a first-time home buyer, I didnt have much background on purchasing a home - Lillian was so knowledgeable and helpful through this entire process. Id recommend her and her team to anyone looking to sell or buy property. I cant thank her enough for such a smooth and enjoyable journey!
As my wife and I were looking to start the process of buying our first home, we were lucky to have been introduced to Lillian through a friend's recommendation. Because we had a small window of time to find a home, we knew we needed someone who was knowledgeable about the housing market, dependable and had our best interest in mind. Lillian truly did not disappoint and surpassed every expectation we had for a real estate agent. She took the time to sit down and explain the process to us and genuinely listened to the vision we had for our home. Lillian did everything from market price evaluation, negotiation, inspection report review, suggestions on repairs which gave us confidence to buy our first home. Not only is Lillian professional and competent in her role, but she is also very charismatic, making all communication with her enjoyable. I will definitely be recommending Lillian to anyone in the need of an agent because I know they will be well taken care of.
Lillian helped us find the home we were looking for! While the market has been really hot, Lillian has not only been extremely responsive and available, she helped us look at as many properties as we wanted. In the end, we felt great about the final decision. She really took the time to listen to our needs and what we wanted in a house.We learned so much from Lillians knowledge of houses, real estate, and the entire home buying process. And we also loved that she was candid about whats normal and not for homes in the area. She has a great team of people and recommendations for anything you need: inspections, lending, titling services, and contractors. Each one weve used has also been great to work with.Lillian always made sure we were comfortable with and understood the entire process. That includes working with our budget, making offers, setting contingencies, warning us of any repairs, negotiating with the seller, all the way to closing on the house. We cant imagine ever buying a house without Lillian and will work with her every time given the chance.
Lillian was wonderful to work with. As first-time homebuyers, we were looking for someone competent and patient to help us navigate the process, and Lillian is exactly that person. She is direct and realistic, but also kind and helpful. She always had time to answer our questions and has recommendations for anyone from lenders to contractors to home security systems. She helped us find a home we love, and working with her made the experience way less stressful. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy a home.
We would absolutely recommend Lillian to anyone looking to buy a home in the Pittsburgh area. Throughout our home-buying journey with her we felt like she was both extremely prepared and attentive to our needs. Not only that but the team she has built around her consistently delivered an excellent customer experience.From out first meeting, Lillian came prepared with all the information we would need to get together and with the knowledge of the kind of information she needed from us to help us find out ideal home. Whenever we visited homes, her knowledge was invaluable as she helped us establish what would be areas of concern like aging roofs or laminate flooring. In buying a home, Lillian helped us seal the deal on our dream home by making the most appealing offer to the sellers based on her prior experience. Not only did Lillian herself shine during our time with her, but every single person she recommended we work with, from contractors to home inspectors and engineers was excellent at their job and incredibly polite and responsive! Just 10/10, I honestly cannot imagine what she could have done better. Do yourself a favor and work with Lillian, you will not regret it!
Lillian was friendly and professional, with vast knowledge of building inspection, the local neighborhoods, and the buying process. She wields an impressive network of recommendations for capable professionals, including contractors, engineers, lenders, and more. She answered our many questions with unflappable patience, and she explained our options at each step of the buying process so that we were able to make confident, informed decisions.
Me and my partner had a really smooth process working with Lillian. I felt like she quickly understood the kind of house we were looking for, and she answered our questions patiently and completely. She also had a lot of good referrals for other things, like inspections, housing, lending, windows. We came in with very little knowledge, but felt like we had access to everything we needed.
Lillian was amazing to work with and helped me so much! This was my first purchasing experience and Lillian helped me feel comfortable and confident the whole time.She has great knowledge about the Pittsburgh area and is always punctual and personable!
I am so fortunate that I went to an open house and bumped into Lillian. She is a fabulous agent who listens to your needs and truly wants what is best for you. She taught me that renovations are possible for anyone, she hooked me up with so many wonderful contacts from lenders to structural engineers and designers, and she was with me every step of the way for all the showings and meetings. I'd recommend her to anyone! Thank you so much Lillian!
Lillian impressed us as very knowledgeable about real estate matters. She was very easy to work with given her friendliness, and patience with our search. She had helpful knowledge and tips about structural aspects to attend to across the homes we viewed. She was efficient and dependable. In short, Lillian was exceptional and we highly recommend her.
Lillian was great at parsing my specific home needs and finding an appropriate home in a highly competitive market. Her tailored recommendations were excellent and meant that I (as an out-of-towner) didn't make unnecessary trips into the city. Further, I was working a midnight shift job and she was able to accommodate that throughout the viewing, negotiating, and closing process. Finally, she demonstrated good sense for the rhythm of the market, helping me get closed quickly, allowing me to secure an interest rate at an historic low. While that's not part of her duties, I could not have gotten such a great rate without her. She was a joy to work with and I recommend her to anyone looking to move into the Pittsburgh area.
Working with Lillian was wonderful! As a first time home buyer, I appreciated her patience, practicality and experience. I learned a lot and she helped me feel confident as we navigated a tough housing market. She's an ethical, responsive and organized realtor whom I would recommend to anyone looking for a house in Pittsburgh.

Working with Lillian is like buying a home with your best friend, tour guide, and real estate professional all rolled into one person! As new home buyers, Lillian really took the time to walk us through the process and find homes that really fit what we were looking for. Her additional background in urban planning was so valuable to us as she was able to inform us of actual city infrastructure to be aware of which we never thought to consider when we started this process. Lillian is incredibly patient, well connected, resourceful, and has such a calming and positive attitude that I never once felt uncomfortable throughout our experience together. I would highly recommend anyone who is looking for a trusting, reliable, and kind realtor to work with Lillian. She is absolutely fantastic!
My husband and I first met Lillian at a local homebuying workshop we attended two years before we officially began looking for a house. That workshop, led by Lillian, was incredibly comprehensive and clear, and we found ourselves repeatedly referring back to the notes we'd taken there as we began to think more seriously about buying a home. When we decided to go for it and to look in the Pittsburgh area, Lillian was our first choice to work with. From our initial discussion to closing, Lillian was wonderful. She took the time to find out what we were looking for and where, and had a number of helpful suggestions along the way (e.g., the county's property tax calculator was an invaluable tool). As first-time homebuyers, we both had many questions, and Lillian was patient and always had an answer for us. She was easy to talk to and easy to reach, and she was more than willing to share her knowledge and connections (such as for a home inspector) with us. Although the homebuying process can be an overwhelming and stressful one, we felt like Lillian had us coveredaEUR"she kept things organized and moving forward. We would 100% recommend Lillian!
We just tackled the daunting task of buying a new home during the pandemic! To add a layer of complication we were based in Seattle while purchasing in Pittsburgh, and not always able to visit to see the homes in person. Lillian made this process as smooth as possible. Many of our viewings were done virtually, but her thorough approach to describing details and excellent video equipment gave us an accurate understanding of the spaces we were touring. We trust her 100% and would recommend Lillian to any of our friends looking for a new home. Thank you, Lillian!
My partner and I were first time home buyers, looking to buy a house in Pittsburgh during the pandemic. Lillian was absolutely fantastic--we cannot recommend her enough. She made us feel comfortable from the first moment we met and patiently guided us throughout the processes, happily answering all of our (many many many) questions. She kindly did remote tours of the house (we were living out of state prior to moving). It did not feel like we were working with a business--she kept an amiable, professional, friendly atmosphere the whole way through. We would 100% work with her again and would recommend her to anyone looking for a realtor.

Lillian was excellent. We were first-time homebuyers and she really helped us work through the entire process so we were ready to close when the right house came up. She also helped us save money and take care of unexpected problems after the inspection. She's incredibly knowledgeable and easy to work with. Highly recommended.
It was so wonderful working with Lillian throughout our home buying and selling process. When we were looking at houses, she was patient and supportive, helping us write up offers for several spots--she took the time to answer all our questions, and help us think through what was important to us. She handled my impulsive and enthusiastic approach to the process, as well as my partner's more cautious and thoughtful one. Ultimately, she helped us write a great offer for the house we bought, and we couldn't be happier!She was also super helpful in selling our house--we didn't have a ton of money to put into it, and she helped us ID the most important things to do to get it ready, took beautiful photos and got it sold quickly. Overall, Lillian did a great job of working with us in a way that worked for us--she was always available if we needed her, and gave us space and time when we needed that, too. She gave great advice on putting together competitive offers (as buyers), and how to understand and choose between multiple offers (as sellers). I can't say enough good things about Lillian and would recommend her to anyone!
Lillian was absolutely wonderful to work with. Knowledgeable about the area, exceedingly competent, and always willing to accentuate the negatives that we, as first-time buyers, were occasionally too Pollyanna to acknowledge.
Lillian is amazing she guided me through the whole home buying process, no pressure in any way. She is a great listener, and able to ask questions that helped me get all that I wanted in my new home! She is quick to respond, knowledgeable about the process and what to look for in the houses we went to see. She is on your side!
My wife and I worked with Lillian to buy our first home for about 6 months. I would recommend Lillian to anyone who was looking to purchase a home and wanted to know what our experience was. Due to our schedules we saw homes and talked to Lillian almost exclusively on weekends and late hours which she essentially always was able to accommodate. Also, Lillian was able to set up viewings on short notice as we found things that we wanted to see by looking through her suggestions and other resources. Additionally she exhibited mastery of the topic and helped us get things finished up when negotiating with the seller and when our mortgage process was being delayed. For these reasons the process was easy to go through and we felt like we were making informed decisions all along the way.
Lillian is quite simply the best of the best. Kind, responsive, and super smart, she's great at explaining everything from financing to renovation and everywhere in between. New and experienced home buyers alike will have a lot to learn from her. A fierce advocate for her clients, she helped me avert so many crises in what turned out to be a very challenging home buying process (the seller's fault, not hers). I think I would've given up if I'd had anyone else shepherding me through this process, but her perseverance and patience were incredible. I'll be recommending her enthusiastically to everyone I know, whether they're buying a house or not!
