We've completed two successful transactions working with Kirstin Rockenstein with the NextHome PPM Realty. She's responsive (and will work with you over text, which is a huge plus!), very friendly and easy to work with. Her negotiation skills were particularly impressive, and she truly went above and beyond to ensure our needs were met throughout the process. We'd highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a home in the Pittsburgh area. She has a deep knowledge of the area and takes excellent care of her clients.

We worked with the RP group to both buy and sell a property. To buy our home Casey was very patient with us as we explored numerous options. She was very knowledgeable and helpful in the entire process. She also gave recommendations for an inspector, and plumber that were fantastic to work with. On the selling side, Reed came to our property and told us exactly what needed to be done before listing. His suggestions were very realistic. We were able to sell in the first weekend because of how the house was marketed. The process was made super easy by the RP group. They were able to take the stress out of a normally very stressful process.

Couldn't ask for anything else in a team and an agent. Thank you Casey Smith. Very accommodating with my work schedule and the area I was looking in. An hour from their office. I would and am going to recommend The Reed Group to anyone that asks. Great job to all and Thank you.

We had the pleasure of renting an awesome, super updated 2 bed/2 bath apartment in uptown Mt. Lebanon for almost four years! Dave showed us the apartment, which was newly renovated by PPM with all new appliances, granite countertops, and new hardwood flooring. It was the perfect spot for us and so hard to leave! We never had any issues with maintenance, as any issue or fix needed was addressed very quickly and their auto pay system was easy to set up & use.
We took advantage of PPMs renter to buyer program, where we used Casey as our broker. She was extremely helpful, patient and thorough through the entire process. She helped us understand the legal documentation and helped us find our first home in Upper St. Clair! I highly recommend Casey as an agent and PPM NextHome for your next rental or purchase / sale!

Michelle did a fantastic job helping us to find our forever home. The quick and thorough process was a joy to go through instead of a nightmare! From finding the listing, to viewing the property, to submitting the bid, and through to closing, we couldn't have asked for a better team to work through. Highly recommended!

The Pirain Group were wonderful. From the first preliminary meeting through our home closing, Casey and Reed were happy to help and answer, in a timely manner, any questions we had. Initially, we thought the home buying process was going to be daunting, but they made it very easy and understandable. Casey was extremely available to accompany us to open houses. Casey worked closely with our mortgage broker and our closing company to make sure the deal went through smoothly. We were difficult to deal with at times, and they handled us well. We are extremely happy with the outcome of our purchase, and we would definitely use them again.

Casey from the Reed Pirain Group did an awesome job helping me find a house. She never took longer than an hour or so to get back to me either via text, email, or phone call. During closing, she went above and beyond helping me go over documents and helped me understand exactly what was going on. She is a great employee for RPG and I would (and already have) absolutely recommend her.

I’d like to thank Reed , Leslie and team for a great experience in selling my home. Reed and team really took the worry out of selling a home. They gave me great advice on the selling price of the house, the price level to list it and what to expect.
They kept me informed during the sale, they were very responsive to all of my questions.
I would highly recommend Reed and team

I have nothing but good things to say about Reed and his staff. He knows the market very well and was able to price our house appropriately. He went above and beyond what was expected to get our house listed and sold in a timely fashion. He was always professional, available, and very pleasant to work with. I would not hesitate to use Reed in the future, and have already recommended him to friends in need of an agent.

Extremely happy with the work done by Reed and his team. Our move was for a company relocation and communication was key as I traveled back and forth, the team kept me up-to-date and responded to all my questions in a timely manner. From listing, to staging, to closing the deal, they did a wonderful job. Highly recommend this team.

- Michael McHugh (Plant Manager)

Reed and Leslie did a fantastic job selling our home. The inclusion of staging and short-term storage to de-clutter our home and make it really show well was a huge plus! Additionally he was very detail-oriented, we didn't need to go over the same things multiple times. He kept the buyer and buyer's agent on task as well, and we seldom had to follow up to make sure things were getting done and we were staying on schedule. Reed also helped us with being familiar with services in the area to help with minor repairs after inspection, and locate moving help in a pinch when a moving company cancelled on us the day before closing! As we were sitting at closing, my wife and I were baffled that other realtors can hold the same title and make the same amount on the sale of your home when they don't work nearly as hard as Reed and his team. I don't think you could find a more dedicated, friendly, and knowledgeable realtor and would recommend Reed and his team without reservation.

The fourth time is the charm. Having gone through the process of purchasing a home 3 times before, I feel that I have somewhat of a handle on the highs and lows. Never has the process been this easy, and never have I felt so protected, connected, and well taken care of. I recommend the group, and Michelle Senko, in particular, without reservation. She was attentive, pleasant, thorough, and extremely professional throughout the entire process.

The Reed Pirain Group group was an outstanding agency to work with. We were provided many services in addition to selling our home such as staging and a storage pod. His photographer is highly skilled. Reed made sure every detail was taken care of and took much stress off our family. Our home was sold in just 2 days.

I have heard how stressful the home buying process can be, but mine was extremely smooth. I was able to find and close on a home that I love within three months. The mortgage team was very communicative, which made the process easy for me and they gave me information that I needed as a first time home buyer. I’ve very appreciative

Reed and Jen successfully and effortlessly sold two of our homes and found us our forever home. I cannot recommend PPM Realty enough, thank you.

Reed Pirain and his group were outstanding. They helped us accurately price our home. After meeting with us, Reed assembled a very creative narrative that helped us understand why our house needed to be priced the way it did. Within the narrative they also offered advice on how the house should be staged to sell. Agreeing to all their recommendations and executing the plan, we then put the house on the market. BOOM! House sold in two days for over asking price. At that point, Reed and his team guided us to the closing table. If you need someone to help you sell your home that actual knows the craft of selling a home, please call the outstanding team of PPM Realty and Reed Pirain.

I highly recommend the home buyer program for current renters with PPM! Casey Smith was my agent and I couldn't be happier with the job she did. We finally found the house that was a fit for me! The transition went smoothly and no problem breaking my lease early!

I could not have asked for a better realtor to sell my house than Reed! From our first meeting, Reed proved to be extremely knowledgeable and have great attention to detail. He took the time to walk through the entire house and point out minor improvements we could make that would help sell the house.
As we progressed through the home selling process, he was quick to respond to any questions we had and always kept us up to date. On several occasions Reed went well above and beyond what I would expect from a realtor. Best of all, he sold my house over asking price within three days!
I can’t recommend Reed high enough and I look forward to working him again in the future.

Kirsten Rockenstein helped me find my first home. She was wonderful and eased my mind when I was stressing about things I didn't need to stress about. She was quick to be available to show the home I bought and all the homes I wanted to see. She has offered references for any services I may need for my home. I really enjoyed working with Kirsten.

I had an extremely positive experience with Next Home. They made everything SO EASY. I have always heard of experiences with home buying being arduous, but they made it a pleasant experience. Jen would try to set up home times as soon as I sent her places and did a thorough job of giving honest, quality critiques of the home. She looked beyond the visual appearance of the home and investigated structure and moisture for us. After we chose a home, the most amazing thing Jen did was fight for us. She helped us negotiate and get what we wanted and deserved. She looked up costs for fixes and potential people who could do them, she recommended inspectors, and even paint colors! She was great. She also kept an open communication line with the other realtor and our financing company so everyone was on the same page. Towards the end we had an issue with our closing company which would’ve pushed our closing, but Jen came to the rescue. She drove ALL over Pittsburgh - to the tax offices, closing company, etc. to deliver paperwork to each building that was needed to execute the sale. Needless to say we closed ON TIME for her hard work. We are so happy with our choice to use Next Home and we hope that everyone can have as positive of an experience as we did.

Reed came to my house in USC, made recommendations to maximize the sale potential. After completing these tasks he came in and did his own finishing touches. He then staged the house so beautifully that it was better than we expected. After listing the house on a Friday, we had so much interest that he made the decision to not accept offers that day. He advised us to allow interested people to give a last and final offer at noon the following Monday. We ended up receiving multiple offers over asking price. This process basically ended the back and forth of negotiating. We feel that with Reeds knowledge and experience he made this process so much easier than expected not to mention profitable. I recommend him and his team, if you want the most value out of your home!
