I moved to the City of Pittsburgh in 1972 from Jamestown NY area to attend The Triangle School of Drafting where I earned a certificate in Architectural Design Drafting. In 1988 while managing a 75 unit high rise condo I decide to obtain my real estate license. In 1992 I earned my Associate Broker License. Currently my wife and I live in the Squirrel Hill neighborhood where we raised our daughter. I'm a full time agent. My past experience includes managing a Real Estate branch office in the Shadyside neighborhood within the city of Pittsburgh. I do both Residential and Commercial sales.

Business Philosophy

Testimonials

"I worked with Ted Knowlton as a Buyer and as a Seller and could not have been happier. He displayed professionalism and true concern about my needs. I had worked as an agent along side Ted on a daily basis during 2002. He always delivered that same professionalism and customer concern to each and every client. "
Bill Warnick

"Ted assisted us with both the home buying and selling process. He really knows real estate. I found him to be realistic with his expectations, honest in his appraisal and committed to his customer. I recommend Ted Knowlton to everyone I know who is buying or selling a home. "Charles Wurz

"Erin and I wanted to send a HUGE thank you for all your help along the home buying process. We learned 6 years ago what a knowledgeable and trusted guide you could be and this time was no different. If you knew the number of times we said, that we LOVE this house over the last week you would know how much we feel we found the right home. While my 8 years in Pittsburgh have not produced a mechanic, insurance agent, or politician I truly I can say without reservation at least I have a Realtor that I do." Ken Smythe-Leistico
