Our Story
Planting roots, building relationships.
Based in Murrysville, the Elaine Yarabinetz & Gage Stump Team helps buyers and sellers make confident moves throughout Greater Pittsburgh.
How It Started
It started with a Facebook post and a little friendly competition.
In early 2025, Gage had recently moved to Murrysville from the west side of Pittsburgh and wasted no time making himself known. He started marketing heavily throughout the community, showing up in local Facebook groups and working to establish himself in the Murrysville real estate market.
Elaine noticed.
After living in Murrysville for more than 25 years and selling real estate here for over a decade, her first thought was basically:
"Who is this Gage Stump kid coming into MY market?"
She figured he was a young, newer agent trying to make a name for himself and that eventually, the posts would stop.
They didn't.
Then one night, Elaine received an invitation to a new neighborhood Facebook group created by Gage.
Her next thought?
Oh my gosh. He's my neighbor.
Not just Murrysville neighbors. Their homes practically back up to each other.
Elaine reached out to let Gage know the neighborhood already had a Facebook group. Gage, being Gage, explained why the old one was outdated, difficult to find, and barely being used. Somehow, what began as a debate over a Facebook group ended with them working together to build a better one.
Then came the bonfire.
Gage invited Elaine over for a few drinks, and somewhere around the fire, the conversation turned to real estate, their goals, and everything they believed could be better about the industry.
Gage pitched the idea of starting a team and opening an office together.
Elaine said no.
Gage essentially told her to get on the train or get left at the station.
A few days later, Elaine called.
On June 27, 2025, the Elaine Yarabinetz & Gage Stump Team was officially born.
Our Vision
More Than a Real Estate Team
From the beginning, the EYGS Team was built around something bigger than selling houses.
Elaine and Gage both saw how easily real estate can become a sink-or-swim industry, especially for newer or struggling agents. They wanted to create the kind of team they believed should exist: one built on mentorship, collaboration, accountability, strong systems, genuine relationships, and people actually helping each other succeed.
That vision continues as the EYGS Team grows.
We are intentionally building a close-knit, family-centered team where our agents are never just names on a roster. We celebrate each other's wins, work through the hard stuff together, and genuinely care about the people standing beside us.
And that family mentality doesn't stop with our agents.
Our clients become part of it, too.
We want buying or selling with the EYGS Team to feel different. Personal. Honest. Comfortable. We want to know your story, advocate for you, celebrate with you at the closing table, and still know you years after the transaction is over.
Today, Elaine and Gage are business partners, neighbors, best friends, and chosen family. What started with a Facebook group has grown into a team, an office, a growing family of agents and clients, and a shared vision for what real estate can look like when relationships come first.
Because to us, Plant Roots with EYGS Team has never just meant finding a house. It's about finding your people, building something meaningful, and creating a place where you belong.
