Lu Ryan Realtor and Real Estate Coach

Almost three years ago, I helped sell a small commercial building in Crafton, originally Capretti’s Salon. Today, that space has transformed into a thriving coffee shop, bringing new energy to the neighborhood. It’s a reminder that as a residential agent, you can make a difference beyond just homes. Sometimes, the smallest properties have the biggest impact on a community. Proud to support Crafton and watch local dreams come to life! #RealEstateJourney #CommunityImpact #LuRyan #Crafton #LocalBusiness #PittsburghRealEstate

Over-Functioning or Under-Functioning – Where Do You Stand? As real estate agents, it’s easy to go from one extreme to the other.

Neither one leads to a happy or sustainable career. The key? Balance. It’s not something you find; it’s something you create.
