It really is a great home! Feel free to take part of this description for your article... “Modern, clean interior finishes lend to the style of this beautifully updated 4 bedroom, 2.5 bath colonial. Through your welcoming portico and new front door, the foyer welcomes your guests with updated ceramic flooring leading through the kitchen. An abundance of natural light showcases the gorgeous hardwood floors in your formal living and dining room. Enjoy cozy nights in your family room with gas fireplace. Access the covered deck through the dining and family rooms or walk out to your covered patio from the finished basement. Enjoy wooded views from the incredible outside living space that you must see in person! Located in the Award Winning Fox Chapel Area School District, within the neighborhood of the new Kerr Elementary School. Minutes to shopping, restaurants & highways, but quietly tucked away on a cul-de-sac street. Interior photos to come.” We have it listed at $487,500. While you’re at it, feel free to include some of my other listings in the school district and maybe some recently sold an upcoming as well? A couple streets away from Dr. Freeman‘s house is 223 Saint Charles Place, listed at $650,000. 105 Crofton is my listing and that’s contingent right now. I’ve also recently sold in Forest Highlands and have a property coming on in Chapel Harbor. My personal thoughts are that if you continually look for ugliness in the world, you find it. Sometimes it’s all about perception. Fortunately, the perception really is that I’m good at my job and familiar with the real estate market. Perhaps Dr. Freeman chose the best real estate agent for his property. That is his right. And to quickly answer your question, it absolutely is not a conflict of interest.

I'm wondering if either of you have considered if this business relationship could create a conflict of interest in the event that the board takes any votes in the coming months regarding Dr. Freeman? I will be including this information in an upcoming article. You can reach me for comment via this email or my cell phone, 412-527-3366.
