A buyer's guide written like a conversation, not a contract.
This guide covers what buying a home in Washington and Allegheny County, PA actually involves, and how The Dallas-Fincham Team works with buyers from first call to closing. Use it as a checklist, and bring the loose ends to the team for straight answers.
The difference
What buying with this team looks like
The team's buyer promise is specific: agents who answer their own phones, a coordinator who owns every deadline, and local knowledge measured in decades, not listing flyers.
A coordinator owns every deadline
From offer to closing, one person on the team tracks every date, document, and signature so nothing slips through a busy week.
40 years in this market
A husband-and-wife team with 40 years in this market between them, leading a group with 60+ years of combined experience and 2,000+ closed transactions.
Clients bring their friends
Seven out of ten clients came from someone the team had already worked with, and the team holds 292 five-star reviews across the platforms.
The process
Six steps from pre-approval to keys
Every purchase moves through the same stages. Knowing the order means nothing surprises you at the signing table.
01
Get pre-approved
A pre-approval tells you the price range a lender will support and makes your offer competitive. Ask the lender what they want up front, income, assets, and credit documentation, before you spend weekends touring.
02
Define the search
The team helps buyers across Washington and Allegheny County, PA, from Peters Township, McMurray, and Canonsburg to Upper St. Clair, Mt. Lebanon, and the South Hills, with Coraopolis, Moon, and Robinson on the airport side.
03
Tour with a real schedule
Tours fit your calendar, evenings and weekends included. This listing comes with a full video tour, 40 photos, and an agent who has actually walked the rooms and can answer from memory.
04
Write the offer
Buyers get honest comparables before they write a number. An offer is price, terms, and deadlines negotiated line by line, with the team's 40 years of local market sense behind every choice.
05
Inspect and appraise
A home inspection uncovers what a walkthrough cannot see, and the appraisal confirms the value for your lender. Both are normal, expected stages of almost every closing.
06
Close without surprises
A coordinator owns every deadline from contract to close, tracking dates, documents, and signatures. On closing day the keys change hands and the final walkthrough is already done.
Condos, specifically
What to check before you buy any condo
This very listing is a condo that looks like a townhome: you insure only inside the walls, grass and snow are taken care of through the association, and shared walls keep the entry price point lower. The trade is shared walls and association decisions, which is exactly why these four checks matter.
The HOA fee and what it covers
Grass, snow, exterior maintenance, master insurance, and reserves are the big buckets to price out before you commit.
Reserve funding
A healthy reserve means roof and parking-lot surprises do not become special assessments on your bill.
Rules that fit your life
Pets, rentals, deck use, and parking are the rules that tend to surface later, so read them before you offer.
The walls you share
Meet a neighbor or two and ask about noise and how responsive the board is. It is the cheapest due diligence there is.
