Having the opportunity to work with Shaquiyyah Jenkins and her team at Domain Real Estate Group was…read moresuch a pleasure. Being new to the area, I found myself extremely overwhelmed with the idea of purchasing my first home, but those feelings of angst were quelled within moments of speaking with Shaquiyyah. I was impressed with her immense industry knowledge and the amount of data that she had regarding the housing market. After viewing a few prospects, an offer was made on a property...Shaqiayyah's expertise, negotiation skills and resourcefulness guided me towards purchasing my dream home with little cost out of pocket; I could not have imagined a better outcome! The entire home buying process was purchaser focused, engaging and transparent. If you are seeking a realty company that knows the market and provides personalized service, I highly recommend Domain Real Estate Group as your choice!

I have to say I dealt with Shakiyah Jenkins and I enlisted her to sell a estate property and rent a…read moreapartment. I asked her if she needed the necessary paperwork to have on file. She advised at the time of closing and when the apartment is rented. I said I had all the docs for her. She emails me with a phone call she received with someone telling her she can't sell said property. She informs me of the call but questions me like she's the police. This person who called her had no legal documents and mind you I listed my property before and she saw this. I felt like I dealing with a 5 yr old and I advised her that anyone could have been trying to make trouble for me. I then fired her and ended the contract because it's a rental property and it could have been a old tenant that called her. My time is valuable and anyone knows no one can just call and lay claim to a property so if other harassing calls came to her I would have been contacted with nonsense. I have legal rights to handle the estate and Ms. Jenkins showed her unprofessional and childish behavior in which she told me not to contact her anymore when in fact she bought hearsay from a crank call to me. I own properties around the world even in the islands and never had such craziness from a realtor. I have since hired a mature seasoned realtor that will not contact me with foolishness because they respect me and my time.

I would highly recommend Joe Petrone for anybody looking for a home in the East Falls area and…read morehere's why... I am a renter in my 30s and was looking for my very first place as a single woman. I met Joe on three separate occasions after seeing his listings online. He was quick to respond to email and text message and offered to show me places that were not yet listed but he thought met my criteria. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to find a place during those first initial visits and I was starting to lose hope until I saw my dream apartment pop up with Joe's name appearing as the listing agent. I immediately contacted him, he responded right away and was straightforward to say "Come now because I have 7 groups lined up to see it tonight and it won't last". I jumped in my car and sped there... he stayed late just to show me and I knew it was the one! We got the application started immediately and that's when my nerves set in. I, like most young adults, don't have a full handle on my finances and debt and that showed when he ran my credit score. Instead of kicking me to the curb, Joe went ABOVE AND BEYOND to help me secure the property. at 10:00pm on a Thursday night, Joe worked to develop a profile to share with the owner of the property. He called my previous landlord for a reference, took all my documents and proof of income and savings, and then he backed me as a person and my character based on his intuition and experience he'd had working with me through the process... That sealed the deal and I got the place!!! I cannot rave enough about Joe's commitment to his clients and their potential tenants. No other realtor in the city would have approved my application but he saw beyond that and I can't thank him enough!! Joseph Petrone, the unofficial King of East Falls, THANK YOU!!

I have known Jason for years and have not once witnessed a drop in his professionalism and his…read moreconsistency in being a valuable resource. When my parents decided to build their new home, I looked no further than referring them to Jason. He not only handled their home buying process with extreme care and precision, he also befriended them. My parents still rave about their experience with Jason and keep in touch with based on the experience, he built a true relationship that they value. Recently my parents also had a small issue from their home builder and Jason made himself available to provide excellent advice related to a warranty issue. It is safe to say Jason goes beyond the call of duty even after the purchase has been made. I believe you should look no further when buying a home, Jason has a keen eye and strong sense of integrity necessary to manage the elaborate and constantly changing real estate market. If you are looking for the best, look no further.

My fiance and I recently bought our first home and hired Eric as our Buyer's Agent based on…read morepositive feedback from a friend of mine. We were also planning our wedding at the same time, so it was a very stressful and exciting time for us. We planned on meeting with Eric and a few other agents we researched, but after that initial meeting, we canceled our other appointments. Eric spent two hours with us explaining the home buying process, various neighborhoods, the market, etc. There was zero pressure to "hire" him - he didn't have that annoying sales pitch personality at all. He guided us through every step, listened to our preferences/concerns, was always reachable (even on vacation), and was flexible to show properties. He only showed us homes that matched our preferences, which saved us time, and we were able to find our future home after only a few weeks of looking. Throughout the entire experience we kept wanting to say "this was the easiest thing we've ever done!" but continued to hold off until closing just in case everything fell apart. It never did, and we have Eric to thank for making sure everything ran smoothly. I've heard a few horror stories from friends about other agents in the Old City area, so my fiance and I are eternally grateful to have found Eric. I recommend Eric without reservation. If/when we sell this house and buy another, we will absolutely be using him again.

Lou talked to me on the spot which was awesome because the other two SE companies I left messages with never even got back to me. Lou didn't want us to spend the money sending an engineer out if it wasn't necessary. He asked me to send him a copy of the inspection report so he could determine if a visit to the property was needed. I spoke to Lou the following day and learned we had nothing to really worry about-just typical settling. He spent 15 minutes on the phone with me answering all my questions and gave me and my husband peace of mind. And he didn't even ask me to write this review! He's a professional and a really nice guy therefore you should totally hire him.

Do not rent from this company if at all possible. My rental was handled in such an unacceptable…read moremanner. I wish someone would have warned me about this company. They are not a leasing company nor property managers and they have no business offering that service to their clients. My mailbox never had a key when I moved in. No one knew where it was or how to fix it so my mailbox was left wide open for two years for anyone to access. I locked myself out once and they had no backup keys at the office so they hacked my door lock off and left it looking crazy with a flawed lock the "maintenance man" found in the back of his van. So my door wouldn't lock for a whole year in Philadelphia. My hot water heater broke but they "couldn't get a hold of the owner" so they told me I could move out from July to September with no rental charge until they had the money to blow the wall out and replace the heater. Then they back tracked and charged me for the time I couldn't even live there because I was pregnant. Plus added all kinds of late fees. They went back on their word and wouldn't fix my account to reflect the promises they made. The wall didn't need to be blown out it literally took 2 hours to fix and they just bullshitted me for months. I called and talked to people 4 times and they promised they would resolve it. They stole my security deposit and sent a debt to a collector instead of calling me back or fixing their error. The realtor I dealt with asked for gifts for "helping me get the rental at a good rate" he quite literally didn't even show me the apartment. He gave me the code for the lock box outside to let myself in. I've never written a bad review anywhere but i hope it keeps someone from having to deal with an all around nightmare company. Renting should never be like this. It's simple, you collect rent and you make sure you address safety concerns when they come up. This business just keep cashing the checks with no responsibility for the safety of your tenants. My mailbox should lock, I should be able to lock my door, I should have hot water or it should be handled in a timely manner. Zero stars for Philadelphia Realty Exchange.

DO NOT RENT FROM THEM!!!!…read more This is the worst group of scumbags I've ever had the misfortune of dealing with. I had my rent sent up through the direct deposit system on their website. Every month the rent would be paid on the first, and every single month I was charged a late fee. I rented a property for 3 years which they managed. HVAC broke twice in 12 months. The first time it took them 7 weeks to get it fixed. The second time it took them 6 weeks. Every time I called Kathleen would give me the run-a-round. Nothing but excuses. When I moved out they took $400 out of my deposit for cleaning and to repair holes in the wall that were there when I moved in. When I called Maurice about it he told me I'd have to speak to Kathleen. Well, Kathleen successfully dodged all of my calls. We even scheduled a date and time in advance to discuss this, and she failed to call. Then I was told she doesn't work there anymore and somebody else will contact me. Guess what? they never did. Stay as far as you can from these lying crooks.
