Our Story

Founded in 2023 by Terrence and Lisa Thurber, The Thurber Team was built on a simple premise: buyers and sellers in the North Hills deserve an advisor who combines deep local market knowledge with white-glove service. What started as a partnership grew into one of the region's most recognized real estate teams, supported today by agents Ann Hodos, Kristin Cresto and Crystal Mackall.

We specialize in the "Executive Sanctuary" corridor — the communities along the Route 19 and I-79 corridors north of Pittsburgh where nationally ranked school districts, low municipal taxes, and luxury housing intersect. Whether you're relocating from out of state, upsizing into a new construction estate in Treesdale, or preparing a move-up sale in Wexford, our team has closed it — and can guide you through every step.
