I am a lifelong resident of Pittsburgh and full-time real estate agent with RE/MAX Select Realty. I grew up in Hampton, and then moved to the west, south, and now the east of the city, where I live with my husband and two kids.

I have a Bachelor's degree from Ohio University in Communications and Graphic Design. This led to a 15-year career in design, advertising, marketing and technology. I still us those skills every day in my real estate business by putting a creative mix of marketing ideas to work for my clients. I pride myself on my ability to look at how things have been done in the past and then find new ways to do them better.

I am a firm believe in the lost art of customer service so I work hard to return calls and emails quickly, communicate with my clients, pay attention to the details and live up to my promises.

In addition to helping my customers find a home that fits their needs, I am dedicated to encouraging and supporting the development of green and sustainable residential development (and green living) in Pittsburgh. As an Ecosociate™ and GREEN designee I've invested time into understanding the environmental aspect of real estate, and in turn can help my customers find homes that are better for their wallet, family, health and planet.

In my spare time you will find me outside, whether it's mountain biking, skiing, road racing, triathlon or running. I even am one of the sponsors of my bike racing team, Sette Nove, and a member of the Allegheny Cycling Association and Mon Valley Ski Club.

I love real estate. From helping first-timers, or people relocating to our wonderful city, to actively marketing and guiding the sale of your home. I have lots of fun working with buyers and sellers, helping them move in or move on. But I know it's a huge responsibility to be entrusted with your biggest investment, and I take that responsibility seriously.

Here is what a few of my customers have to say. I hope you will feel the same way.

"It was a pleasure working with Christa. She went out of her way to market the Nunnery Hill Overlook development and understood the added value of “Energy Star” certified properties...Even in this challenging real estate market and the worst winter in 10 years, Christa came through and sold all four of the Nunnery Hill Overlook homes in a record time!"

"Early on in our search for a home in the Pittsburgh area we both realized that we would need the help of an experienced, local real estate agent to help us sort through everything so we could arrive at a sound decision…it was important to us that our agent be a Pittsburgh-area native, be prompt and professional in terms of turnaround, and be patient enough to take on our specific needs. We found just such a person in Ms. Christa Ross.  

Ms. Ross was, in fact, the ONLY agent out of about a dozen real estate agents in Pittsburgh to get back to us the very same day we first contacted her.  She not only replied with information about the house we'd initially located, but she quickly identified the style and price range we were looking for and included a list of similar homes in a variety of parallel neighborhoods.  Ms. Ross followed this same path with each refinement during the process.  It was uncanny.  She also took the time to get to know my wife and I, which further enhanced and tailored her suggestions for us.  We ultimately found the EXACT type and style of home we'd been looking for...and in a neighborhood perfectly suited for our future family needs.  

There is absolutely no way we could have accomplished this without Christa Ross's help and expertise.  She is, without a doubt, the BEST agent in the greater Pittsburgh area, and one of finest professionals I have personally dealt with in general.  We are proud to call her both our agent and our friend.  If you're shopping for a home in the Pittsburgh region, this is the only real estate professional you should contact.  Thank you so much, Christa!"
