Kristin Buckwalter Associate Broker, Multi-Million Dollar Producer

“I met Kristin 5 years ago at an open house and knew from there she would be my real estate agent. So it was no doubt that I would utilize her services again when I was ready to buy/sell.  She is conscientious, organized, knowledgeable and her sense of humor makes her a pleasure to work with.  She is not only an asset to her customers but also to Howard Hanna.  I have referred her to others and will continue to do so.  She definitely made a customer/friend for life, and I will call her again when I’m ready to buy/sell for the 3^rd time!”

Susan Spieler, Penn Township

“Kristin was an absolute pleasure to work with.  She took the time to get to know me, my family, and our needs.  She was extremely consultative during the process, which I greatly appreciated.  She responded very quickly to all calls and/or texts.  She also did a great job keeping me informed of the progress and next steps on our property.  She went above and beyond to make sure our process went as smoothly as possible.  Our home sold quickly, which we needed, and I owe it to Kristin.  I can’t thank her enough.  She is a great asset to your company and team.”

Beth Flickinger, Penn Township 

“We had an excellent home buying experience with Kristin Buckwalter.  She was extremely professional yet friendly, very patient and proactive during our interaction.  We were first time home buyers and had a lot of questions at almost every step.  Kristin patiently listened to us at each stage and either answered our questions or referred us to the appropriate contacts.  She guided us through the entire process very well.  I would definitely recommend Kristin to anyone and especially first time home buyers.  Thanks a lot, Kristin, for making our home buying such a lovely and wonderful experience.  We definitely enjoyed working with you. ”

Maju Sukumaran & Lakshmy Vaidyanathan, Penn Township

“Kristin provided excellent assistance throughout the sale process.  She offered great advice for preparing the house for showing and sale.  She was always thinking about the next step of the process and advising appropriately.  She provided great communications in a very timely fashion.  Kristin was forthcoming and positive yet not pushy in advising on various aspects of the sale.  Overall we could not have asked for a better agent.  If all real estate agents offered the level of service and professionalism that Kristin did the world would be a better place.”

Mark and Tracey Brashear, Trafford

 “Kristin is wonderful to work with!  We found her on the website and thought she would be a great fit (and is a fellow PSU Alum!!!)  She is very helpful, knowledgeable and has lots of experience.  Kristin helped us sell our current home and find property to build our new home.  She is very professional and very friendly.  She promptly returned emails and phone calls.  Howard Hanna helped us purchase our first home, sell that home, and purchase land.  We used the Howard Hanna Gold Advantage program through our employer and enjoyed those benefits!  We would recommend Kristin and Howard Hanna to anyone looking for real estate services.  Thanks, Kristin!”

Tom and Melanie Joseph, Plum Boro/Murrysville

 “Kristin was the best!  We’ve sold 6 houses before, and Kristin is the most professional, hard-working, results-driven agent that we ever had! Knowledgeable about every aspect in the entire process of selling our home, she let us know what to expect every step of the way so that when issues came up we were prepared to deal with it.  The only bad thing about selling so quickly is that both of us feel like she is part of the family, and we will miss her.  Howard Hanna is very lucky to have her as part of their team.  She was amazing during the final walk-thru when an issue arose, and she resolved it by thinking outside the box!  Thank you for everything, Kristin!”

Bill and Kathleen Cassell, Murrysville

“Kristin was nothing less than stellar!  We live in Maryland and purchased the property in Greensburg for our daughter and grandson to live in while she finished her college career.  When we purchased the property Kristin was the sellers agent.  We were so impressed with her professionalism and easy going personality that we chose her as OUR sellers agent.  We could not be happier with that decision.  She was extremely knowledgeable of the current market conditions and helped us set the selling price perfectly.  She gave us some suggestions for a few upgrades that she felt were important and it definitely paid off!  The multi-list presentation looked FABULOUS!  From photographs to property description it looked great!  After being on the market less than 2 months we signed an agreement for an amount that was more than we hoped for!  Once the agreement was signed, Kristin was just AMAZING - from inspections to appraisal to closing.  She even helped us find a contractor to fix the few items that needed to be corrected.  She arranged and represented us at closing so we didn’t have to make the long drive out in the middle of the week.  Living so far away we can’t say how appreciative we are.  We wish her much success in the future and hope to stay in touch over the years.”

Mike Kline, Hempfield Township

“I have never in all my years of being in the financial services industry met anyone who took such care and concern for their clients like Kristin did with us.  We set very high expectations on anyone in the sales & service industry because we know first hand what it takes to make a customer have a great experience.  KRISTIN DELIVERED, HANDS DOWN!  She is an AMAZING agent!”

Kristin and Michael Dovicsak, Level Green

“Kristin went above and beyond in meeting our home requirements.  She was very professional, worked tirelessly for us, was always available for questions, pursued answers, and was a real catalyst to our finding a home we love.  Employ more agents like Kristin.”

Rich Genszler and Donna Galm, Murrysville

“Kristin was very helpful with our home search.  She was very pleasant to deal with and was always available to view a house with us, often on short notice.  We always felt very comfortable calling or texting her with questions at any time.  She did a very good job!”

Luke Cicconi, Greensburg

“Kristin went Far beyond our expectations when selling our home.  We live out of town and she provided the necessary service to complete the deal.  Our neighbors were also impressed, and when they are ready to sell they’ll call Kristin.  If I had more properties in the area she’d be my agent for sure.  I will highly recommend Kristin Buckwalter to my friends and relatives that need real estate services.”

John and Sana DiTommaso, Murrysville

“Kristin was very fun to work with!  She has a great personality and made the stress of buying a home easy.  She answered every text, phone call and email right away and answered every question we had.  I would recommend Kristin to anyone buying or selling a home.  She is AWESOME!”

Courtney O’Connell, Plum Boro

“AMAZING!!! In a single word that is how I would describe my home buying experience with Kristin.  She was always a text or call away.  She was knowledgeable and insightful yet comforting and humorous.  She listened to my needs and wants.  This included the little things I was looking for.  She found the house and matched me perfectly!  I highly recommend.  Thanks a million!“  

Donna Hayes, Penn Hills

“Kristin was outstanding.  She was very patient with me and kept me updated on everything.  Would recommend her to any of my family and friends.”  

Karmen Dudley, Penn Hills

“I am sure it was Kristin’s outgoing personality that sold my mother’s home.  She stood with us at all stages of the sale.  Efficient, outgoing professional that goes above and beyond.  I can’t say enough.  She was a pleasure to work with.”

Hilda Corey and Kathey Baughman, Level Green

“We cannot say enough good things about Kristin Buckwalter.  Her professionalism, dedication to her clients, and knowledge of the real estate industry place her head and shoulders above all other agents.  Our daughter and son-in-law had been clients of hers in 2006 when they sold and purchased.  She is our agent of choice.”

William and Darlene Bowen, Penn Township

Kristin,

Realtors don’t always understand how important they really are. It doesn’t help that they are a dime-a-dozen. You, however, are one in a million!

I was very lucky to get you to help me.

Thank you ever so much!

Jeff Wilson, Murrysville

“Kristin provided us with outstanding service as our listing agent. She made the entire daunting process of selling our home relatively painless. Her strengths are in relating to customers and marketing. Kristin had drummed up a buzz about our house before it officially went on the web site. We had a number of calls the first day, and we actually sold it to a family who viewed it the 2^nd day it was on the market – unheard of in this market. I’m definitely recommending her to anyone I know in need of an agent!”

Heather and Sam Zaffuta, Plum Boro

“I recently sold a home using an agent from another company and purchased a home from your agent, Kristin Buckwalter. I can tell you working with Kristin was a great experience. She was there for us every step of the way. No matter how busy she was, she always returned my calls and emails promptly. She is the ultimate professional and is committed to her employer and her clients. I can not say that the experience on the selling end was as easy or painless with the other agent, which shows us that Kristin is special in her position in your company. I had to stop in the Murrysville office the other day and she happened to be there. She came out to see if all was well or if I needed help! After the sale! Today I got an email from her answering another question I had, again, after the sale. Kristin is the type of person who gets return business for herself and your company. I will gladly share her name with anyone who asks me who I use for my real estate needs.”

Dianne Miller, Murrysville

“This agent goes to the highest level to assist clients. She showed us a home on New Year’s Eve even though she wasn’t officially our agent at this time. She troubleshot every concern and question we had and made herself available to us. She did all of this in a friendly professional manner. I would recommend her to anyone in the market to buy or sell a home.”

Matt Miller, Murrysville

As our listing agent:

“First off, my wife actively searched for an agent by going to multiple open houses. She met Kristin at one, and she was impressed. Before we picked Kristin we had 4 other agents come through our home and had them evaluate the home. Kristin outdid them again, so we picked her for us! In the meantime our daughter was looking for a home at this time, and Kristin came through for her. My wife and I waited a year before we put our house on the market. All this time Kristin patiently waited for our call. We tried to sell our home on our own (for 1 month to no avail) before we called Kristin. Kristin was absolutely wonderful. She walked us through the listing process, made a few suggestions, and “BAM!” in 2 weeks we were sold. Kristin was so thorough with the paperwork, she was correcting mistakes by the buyer agent. She helped us through every step - inspections, permits needed, addendums, etc. She is an asset to your company!!! She has become our friend, and I’m glad.”

As our buyer agent:

“Kristin was diligent in picking houses for us. She knew what my wife wanted and was constantly sending us listings, meeting us to show homes, and it was a great experience! Kristin is so personable and great to be around. She put up with a lot with me personally. I’m very detail oriented, so much that I can be a real pain. Again, I can’t say enough about Kristin. You’re lucky to have her on your team.”

John and Sally Taylor, Plum Boro/Hempfield Township

“Kristin was a wonderful agent! We purchased a home from her in September and sold one through her the following March. She was always accessible and is very knowledgeable. During our time working together she became a trusted friend. Not only will we work with her again, but we will recommend her to friends, family, and strangers too! This was a great experience.”

Michael and Angela Tihey, Plum Boro

“Kristin was an integral part of our satisfaction in buying/building our first home. She often went above and beyond to assist us through several frustrating items with our builder. Her enthusiasm and professionalism make her the successful agent that she is. I would recommend her to friends and colleagues who endeavor upon a new home purchase. Kristin is an excellent asset to the Howard Hanna team.”

Tricia Egry, Monroeville

“From the instant we met Kristin there was no doubt that her enthusiasm and passion were characteristics we wanted on our real estate team. Kristin brought a very personal touch to the experience and went above and beyond the call of duty by assisting with many matters. I would consider Kristin a resource I would turn to for future needs and would recommend her services highly to others.”

Matthew Polvinale, Monroeville

“We love Kristin! She did a wonderful, fabulous job and we could not be more pleased. Kristin was professional, helpful, and went above and beyond what was expected of her. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a home. We are so pleased with the service we received. We have nothing but wonderful things to say about Kristin – she deserves a raise! We adore her, she did a great job. Thank you, Kristin!”

George and Nicole Zaloumes, Plum Boro

“Kristin was an absolute joy to work with! She kept me updated with showings & prospective buyer comments, and she somehow made a miracle happen when the buyer’s agent dropped the ball & did not schedule closing! I’d recommend her to everyone!”

Elaine Ruth, Penn Township

“EXCELLENT JOB! Kristin is a great and caring person. She is very knowledgeable in what she does. We met her selling the house next door and knew she was the one to sell our house for us. I will be recommending her to anyone I know who is going to sell their home. God bless you Kristin and keep up the good work.”

Bonnie McCurry, Greensburg

“We could not have had a better agent. Kristin was very professional, courteous, and informative in all situations. She was always there for any situation that needed taken care of. I would recommend her to anyone, and it was a pleasure doing business with her. She is a GREAT ASSET to your business.”

Bob McCurry, Greensburg

 “Kristin is by far, the BEST AGENT that we ever worked with. What we liked best was her responsiveness to our questions, concerns, and needs. Kristin is very knowledgeable and fluent about her industry. You are very fortunate to have someone of her statue working for you. She is a great asset to Howard Hanna!”

Greg and Beth Lavery, Murrysville 

“Kristin was on top of every move in selling and buying our homes. She maintained constant contact and always showed true concern about our needs. Nothing was ever left to chance. Kristin has a professional attitude as well as being one of the nicest people I know. She was a most pleasant person and a pleasure to associate with. She went over and beyond what was expected.”  

Rodger Fike, Penn Township

“I want to start by saying Kristin made this experience FANTASTIC. We met at an open house and our personalities clicked instantly. My husband and I decided to put our house on the market and chose Kristin as our selling and buying agent. She always had our best interests at heart, and I would (and have) recommend her. We had so much activity at our home during the time it was on the market. We lived on a busy street which was a true challenge in selling! Kristin was extremely patient with our never-ending questions and nervousness. As our buying agent (we built a home) she assisted us in selecting a great builder. Kristin has found her true calling as a Realtor. We should all be so lucky! If we need to make another move in the future I would not hesitate to call her again.”  

Mary Ashbaugh, Greensburg

“Kristin did a great job, above and beyond what I expected her to do! I will never let someone else sell a home for me!”

Don Sgambati, Penn Township

“Kristin was fantastic to work with. Her professionalism was not only top notch, she also made us feel like family. Her upbeat personality along with her professional skills made her number one in my book. I will always recommend Kristin to ANYONE that is interested in selling their house. I am sure she is just as great to have in buying a home as well. There is, in my opinion, no one else I would have wanted to work with than Kristin. She truly is a bright star for Howard Hanna!!”

Bob Petrocelli, Pitcairn

“Kristin went above and beyond her requirements. She is extremely personable and friendly. I will give her the highest recommendations to anyone. If all your agents are this good, you will put all other realtors out of business. It was a true pleasure.”

Chuck Ryan, Murrysville

“We received excellent service from Kristin! We are very happy with her services with selling our home and purchasing a new home. Her services went above and beyond those of other real estate agents we have used in the past. We will recommend her to friends & relatives that may need real estate services. Thank you!”

Deana and Jason Lhota, Penn Township

“Kristin created an outstanding experience for us purchasing our new home. Since we were relocating from Ohio it was very difficult to look at any homes during the week. Kristin arranged her weekends to spend time with us and made us feel that we were the only clients that she had. Her honesty and dependability made buying a home out of state very easy.”

Brian Dingler, Greensburg

“Kristin did an AWESOME job for us! We were coming from Ohio and not knowing really anything about PA or the area. She was very honest with us and helped us find a great neighborhood that is close to my husband’s new office. We truly appreciate the many Saturdays that she spent with us going from house to house until we found “the one.” She was very patient, and we plan on listing with her in 4-5 years when we return to Ohio.”  

Katie Dingler, Greensburg

“Kristin provided excellent service while helping us find our first home. She was consistently friendly and professional. Kristin helped to guide us through the steps in purchasing a home, making sure we met all the necessary deadlines. She was a pleasure to work with during this process.”

Nichole and Dominic Cortazzo, Penn Township

“Kristin was great. Toward the end I felt like I was bothersome by looking at so many houses, but she was always positive. She did not push me into any properties, and she was very down to earth and attentive to my needs. I would use her in the future and make referrals to her.”  

Paul Salvatore, Jeannette

“Kristin was very responsive and did an excellent job for us. She was friendly, provided us with great information and kept us in the loop with all the pertinent details that we needed throughout the process. Her experience enabled us to make a quick decision and made everything easy to understand. We would recommend Kristin to our friends and family.”

Stephanie DeCecco and Brad Spier, Mt Lebanon

“Service was outstanding. Kristin’s attitude, knowledge, and professionalism is just incredible. We recommend her to everyone we come in contact with if they are thinking of buying or selling a home.”

Richard Crabtree, Monroeville

Lyndsay Tkach, Penn Hills

“Kristin was absolutely fantastic. I have worked with many agents and have yet to find one like her. She made sure every one of our needs were met. Kristin was professional and also very personable. I feel with her help we made the best decisions we could have. My family is very pleased and thankful.”  

Timothy Godak, Turtle Creek

John and Cathy Boyles, Monroeville

“Kristin helped me buy my first home 3 years ago and was excellent again, this time on the selling side.  She has also worked with other family members of mine, and I would recommend her to others.”  

Justin Turpin, North Huntingdon

“Kristin sold my first home and helped me buy 2 more!  Great job!  I highly recommend.”  

Kai Zhang, North Huntingdon/North Hills

“Kristin made herself available to us and responded in a timely manner.  She made us feel comfortable buying our first home and was very knowledgeable.  She was my parents’ realtor first.  I appreciate that even after we bought our home she kept in touch.”

Brittany Wermager, Plum Boro

“I was happily introduced to Kristin from a former Howard Hanna realtor.  I couldn’t ask for anything better.  My home buying experience was wonderful!  Thank you!”

Tracy Skinner, Penn Hills

“Kristin did an excellent job.  Always available.  Great personality!  She helped us through the entire process.  Kristin did her job with perfection!”
