MOVING TO PITTSBURGH?

Pittsburgh Relocation Services,
You Won't Find Anywhere Else.

The Knox Team at Real Broker - the world's 2nd largest and most technologically advanced brokerage, provide unmatched services you won't find with any other brokerage or agent in Pittsburgh. This year we've helped 10 people relocate to Pittsburgh, and we'd love to help you do the same.

HD Video Touring

Tour every home with us over high definition video with us live and 1:1. Like it and want more?  We'll film a 4K walkthrough video for you to watch on the big screen later - as much as you like.  But everyone can FaceTime.  If you're loving the home, wait till you see what we do next...

4K Touring Videos

Love a home we virtually tour? We'll take a 4K video for you to review again and again even after our tour has ended and upload it to our private YouTube channel so you can watch it anywhere - phone, big screen tv, or tablet.  

Past clients tell us they love this because it lets them pause, rewind, and go over everything again and again in full HDR 4K video that brings out every detail, and every flaw - because that's important too.

Commute & Point Of Interest
Tracking On Every Listing

Tell us your commutes - work, school, and you’ll see them on every listing we send including drive times during rush hour traffic.  Have places you want to be near, like a Trader Joe’s or doctor’s office?  We can track those too.  No more pasting addresses into Google maps trying to understand the geography of a city you don’t know yet.  Track drive times, walks, bike, or transit times using public transportation to commute.

Real Hyper Local Pittsburgh Expertise

Many claim to be hyper local experts, but we actually are.  We know homes, and we know Pittsburgh and the surrounding areas.  Craig has lived in almost every corner of town, and our agents have to learn areas before they can work in them.

We'll help you match your lifestyle needs to the right communities (bike trails, dog parks, Costco!) and factor commutes in our picks, plus share our favorite spots for sips, brews, dog dates, fun, and night life.  Tell us what you love to do, and we'll find you a home where you can do it.

3D & VR Tours

From immersive interactive photos that let you zoom in and move around rooms to full interactive virtual or VR touring options, we make touring homes remotely as close to being here as we can with our innovative technology.  

Seller permitting, if a home does not have a 3D tour, we can make one for you if you love the home.  Have a VR headset? You'll be able to explore the home like you're really there.

Virtual Home Inspections

If you can’t be in Pittsburgh for your home inspection, we’re there on your behalf.  We’ll connect you at the end in a live video feed with the home inspector so they can review the findings and show you areas of concern.  If you can’t join virtually, we’ll send you a video recap and the inspector will reach out to you to discuss the report.

When you use one of our preferred Pillar To Post Inspectors, you’ll also get a 3D report that lets you virtually tour each room, see images, and read inspector comments.

The Best Pittsburgh Neighborhood Guides

Lots of brokerages and agents have area guides that are very generic, auto generated, and add almost no value telling you nothing about what the area is really like.

Our area guides aren’t AI slop or copy paste.  They’re hand crafted guides that share our knowledge and expertise about an area and add in details no one else offers.  We’re filming area tour videos and enhancing our guides every week with our favorite small business pics, dog friendly places, detailed school info, and fun facts that teach even local natives something new about Pittsburgh and its suburbs.

Relocation Concierge Services

We've got you covered no matter your needs. We can assist with temporary housing, furniture rentals, mini-storage, loaner dishes and cookware if your moving truck is delayed, find you contractors to take care of things like getting fences installed or quotes on professional services for whatever you need.  Oh, and we'll do this for you forever, even after you close when you become a Reak Good Neighbor's VIP member for life.

Other Services

Knox Knows not every move is smooth sailing - like your movers not arriving for two months after you do, or a closing gets delayed because a tax lien needs sorted out.  That's why we offer our clients the following:

  • Short term rentals or extended stay hotel recommendations if you arrive before closing.
  • Assist with furniture rental for when your moving truck won't arrive as soon as you do.
  • Provide Loaner dishes, silverware, small kitchen appliances likes toasters and microwaves, and other household items if needed.
  • Loaner Air mattresses and bed linens.

Working With A Relocation Company?

Many relocation companies have deals with brokerages and you get assigned to some random agent that may not know anything about relocation at all, and they get paid a fee for it.

  • We will match any relocation incentives offered for using their recommended agent.
  • We'll also coordinate with your relocation company and help ensure smooth timing of moving and storage.

Let's Get You Moving To Pittsburgh

We're like Your Personal GPS For Your Journey To Pittsburgh.

Tell us what matters most and we’ll get to work. 

The more specific you are, the better — neighborhood features, school district needs, that fireplace you’ve always wanted., and what kind of lifestyle you live and want to be around - plus commutes you want to track. We’ll find homes that actually fit, and we won’t waste your time on ones that don’t. 

Let's Connect About Your Relocation

We would love to connect with you over a video meeting or even a phone call so we can talk through all the details about your relocation needs.  Answer a few quick questions, and we'll get you moving - literally and figuratively.  

YOUR QUESTIONS

Frequently Asked Questions

This is our specialty and we're experts in relocations, and your trusted partner in your relocation journey. Video touring, 3D interactive photos, virtual tours, and our expertiese in making sure the home you're buying doesn't have signs of structural, water, or electrical issues before you even make an offer. We're also hyper local Pittsburgh experts. We will help you find neighborhoods that are the best fits for your lifestyle and commutes. If you don't love your home, we'll list it for free and help you find your next one with no charge to your for any commissions.

That’s where I come in. Based on your lifestyle, commute, budget, and preferences, I’ll guide you to the neighborhoods that fit you best — not just what looks good online.

Can you coordinate everything while I’m out of town?

No problem. I specialize in helping clients relocate on tight timelines, including virtual tours, fast decision-making support, and streamlined closing coordination. When you use our mortgage and title services, our average closing time is just 17 days! No other real estate team or brokerage can say that. However, you are free to choose any title company or lender you like.

For relocation clients, in the event you are unable to find a home before your planned moved date, we can provide assistance with locating short term rentals and if plans change, long term rentals.

When it's time to make the move to purchase a home, we will give you a 50% credit from the fee for finding your rental - and a 100% credit if you do a short term rental up to 6 months - towards the purchase of your home when you work with us again which may be in the form of a commission reduction or rebate - whichever works best in structuring your home purchase. Why do we give a credit? Because it is the kind of service we'd love, so it's the kind of service we provide because service doesn't stop when you sign a lease or close on a home. You're our client for life, and we'll treat you right.

It’s not just about finding a house — it’s about helping you land in the right place with confidence. You get local expertise, personalized guidance, and full support from start to finish.

We making closings easy when you use One Real Title. You can close virtually or we'll send a notary to your door so you can close with ease on your new home in Pittsburgh, even if that's 2,000 miles away.

The home inspection is the most critical thing you can do, and while we recommend being there if you can, it's not practical for most people relocating. We will meet the home inspector at the end of the inspection and bring you in virtually if you are available to do a walk through of the findings and get your questions answered. Inspection report results are highly technical and can sound major - like "No GFCI electrical fault protection in the kitchen" - when it's simply a $20 outlet required within so many feet of a water source under modern building codes and nothing to worry about at all. By being able to consult with your inspector and see the findings, you'll have peace of mind and no worries when the report does come back. If you can't make it virtually, we'll ask the inspector to let us film the walk through and send it to you.

We may receive a referral fee which is standard practice. However, we use that fee to cover the cost of the extra benefits we provide and in some cases, that can be more than what we receive depending upon the sale price of your home.

We do everything in our power to make sure you'll love your home when buying it sight unseen, but if you don't - we'll list it on the market for free, and we won't charge you a commission on the purchase of a new house within 12 months of your closing date.

Unfortunately, no. There are costs associated with those benefits that any referral fee we make covers. However, if you would like to purchase closing disclosure insurance, let us know. We can offer that to you at our discounted rate of $199 for two years of coverage.

Yes. Fair housing laws prohibit a real estate agent from marketing a home as "Perfect for Baptists with a Church next door" - but when you are asking us to find something specific, it's our pleasure to do so. When you onboard with us, we'll spend time learning about your lifestyle and interests to help you find neighborhoods that best fit those - from dog parks to bike trails. That's the benefit of working with people who have real local knowledge of the entire greater Pittsburgh area. We know all sorts of great places.

We can! We have several who we love and can even connect you with past clients who have used them. However, often we find our relocation clients lean towards finding an inspector on Google who we have no experience with, and have not had great results with. We do not steer nor recieve any compensation from any inspector on our preferred list. They're on the list because we've had nothing but great results and client satisfaction with them. Anytime we or our clients have consistently good experiences with any vendor, we add them to our list of preferred providers and also remove vendors when we see a decline in quality and outcomes. Our job is to protect our clients best interests every step of the real estate journey - and after.

We can. If you are going to arrive before you find a home, we can help. Most short term rentals rent at a rate several times higher than they would with a long term lease. For short term needs (under one month) there are many extended stay hotels all over the area. AirBNB and Vrbo are also great options if you need housing for more than 30 days - especially if it is in a time without many local events. Rates can be much lower than a short term lease.

We work with Cort who provides terms as short as 1 month and can refer you to one of their specialists.

We've helped people move to Pittsburgh from the following cities, and hopefully will be adding yours soon.
Cleveland, OH; Anchorage, AK; Boston MA; Baltimore, MD; Boulder, CO; Houston & Dallas, TX; Detroit, MI; New York, NY; San Diego, CA; Kentucky, Minnesota, and Mexico.

If you don't love your new home, we will list it commission free in the first year of ownership.
-Initiate the process within 365 days of closing. The home does not need to be on the market within 365 days, you simply need to start the process.
-The brokerage transaction fee still applies.
-For your new home, we will not charge you any out of pocket commission for the new purchase.
It's that easy. We want you to love where live.
