johnmarzulloteam The bridges weren’t always yellow. 🟡🟡 Until 1978, Pittsburgh’s bridges were silver. That year the Manganas Painting Company rolled out about 10,000 gallons of “Aztec Gold” across the West End, Fort Duquesne, and Fort Pitt spans. The Three Sisters followed soon after. That’s when Pittsburgh became the color it is today. But the gold goes way back. The city was named after William Pitt the Elder in 1816. His family coat of arms is black and gold. The Steelers, Pirates, and Penguins all matched the city, not the other way around. So we made 10 Pittsburgh yellows. Comment your pick. #Pittsburgh #PittsburghHistory #BlackAndGold #PittsburghRealtor #JMT

johnmarzulloteam Proud to be part of the #1 brokerage in the U.S. now 5 years in a row. But this isn’t about a headline. It’s about the standard behind it. The people. The discipline. The consistency it takes to show up at that level, year after year. Grateful to be surrounded by agents who don’t cut corners… who raise the bar. That’s the environment I choose. Because it’s the environment my clients deserve. Honored to be part of Compass.

johnmarzulloteam Over 40,000 homes went back on the market in December. We have never seen numbers like that. Here’s what’s actually going on. Buyers are getting houses under contract and then walking away. They are leaning on contingencies to do it. Inspection. Financing. Appraisal. Not because the house is terrible. Because they are uneasy. The economy feels tight. Groceries cost more. Insurance costs more. Monthly payments feel heavier than they did a year ago. So the excitement of getting the house fades and reality sets in. And those contingencies become leverage or an escape hatch. For sellers, that hurts. You lose momentum. You go back on market. Buyers see the history. Price reductions start creeping in. And online it does not feel neutral. When someone is scrolling at night it does not say, buyer got cold feet. It says, what is wrong with this house? This market is mental as much as it is financial. If you do not want to be part of that 40,000, you have to be intentional. Price it right from day one. Attract real, qualified buyers. Structure the deal the right way. Build confidence before the offer is even written. In this market, getting under contract is not the win. Getting to the closing table is. If you are thinking about selling, work with a team that understands how to manage risk, not just stick a sign in the yard.

johnmarzulloteam A real estate agent commented on one of our posts: “Ads don’t sell homes. Agents do.” …What? 😂 That might be the most outdated take I’ve heard all year. Of course agents matter. But pretending ads don’t sell homes is like saying open houses sell everything. Attention sells homes. Distribution sells homes. Positioning sells homes. The best agents in 2026? They don’t choose between skill or marketing. They master both. Old method: Door knock. Cold call. Pray. New method: Attract. Educate. Build authority. Convert. If no one sees the home, no one buys the home. Ads don’t replace great agents. They amplify them.
