Thomas Yargo Associate Broker & Manager

 . 

For more than 41 years, I have had the privilege of helping people navigate the ever-changing world of residential real estate in Pittsburgh. As an Associate Broker with Howard Hanna Real Estate Services, my work has focused primarily on the City of Pittsburgh and its neighborhoods—including the East End, North Side, West End, and South Side.

My career in real estate was preceded by 17 years as a paralegal working with Pittsburgh attorneys specializing in real estate and estate and trust law. That legal background continues to shape the way I approach real estate today, giving me a strong appreciation for the details, complexities, and responsibilities that come with every transaction.

I have a particular interest in Pittsburgh's neighborhoods and in the opportunities that community development, redevelopment, and new construction bring to our city. I believe strong neighborhoods and successful homeownership go hand in hand, and I am proud to serve on the boards of two local nonprofit organizations whose missions focus on creating and protecting homeownership and advancing community development.

Although my position includes management responsibilities, I see myself first and foremost as a coach, mentor, and teacher. Real estate is never simply about buying or selling a property. No two properties, transactions, or clients are ever exactly alike—and that is what makes this business both interesting and rewarding.

When I'm not working, you'll often find me gardening, one of my favorite ways to spend time and stay connected to the enjoyment of creating and caring for a place.

After 41 years in this business, I remain passionate about Pittsburgh, its neighborhoods, its people, and the many possibilities that real estate can create.
