We couldn't have asked for a better realtor than Caitlin to help with my daughter's move to Philly…read more Even though we ultimately found an apartment that wasn't one of her own listings, she had already gone well beyond the typical scope of the job -- for every place she showed us, she took the time to research the surrounding neighborhood so we could tell whether it was a safe, good fit for my daughter to live. Moving to a new city with no real local knowledge is stressful, and we only had a few secondhand suggestions from friends to go on. She filled that gap for every option she recommended, giving us honest, specific feedback about the different neighborhoods so we could make an informed decision instead of just guessing. If you're relocating to Philly and want someone who treats your move like it's personal, she's who you want in your corner.

We sold our house almost 2,000 miles away without a hiccup. The very best quality is her constant communication and client advocacy. There were times when me and my husband would just be mulling over some concerns and like a psychic our phones would ring and she would be calling to check on us. We were selling our home, but I am very sure she would be amazing representing buyers as well. Dealing with our agent now, I can say that we value her even more as our current rep does the bare minimum.

Kristin also looked out for my best interests and talked me out of some houses that weren't going to be good fits and helped me understand why. She takes a really personal approach and really took time to understand my needs and interests and what I was going for, even as that changed. Once we were in the offer stage, I was so grateful to Kristin. She was very high touch and proactive with all the parties, communicating very thoroughly what was happening when and making sure everyone was on top of the steps. She also is networked to a lot of really high quality people and I was really grateful for the lender and inspector she connected me to. The day before I moved into my new house I had an issue with the house and Kristin took my frantic call, walked me through what to do and who to call, and got me connected to some incredible contractors who helped me resolve the issue. Kristin also connected me to some very capable, responsible, fair-priced contractors who did some amazing upgrades to the space. I'm incredibly happy with my home and I highly recommend working with Kristin for a very personalized, high-touch, thoroughly supportive experience!

Well this time I'm actually following through, because Capri was/is a godsend. She came into our lives at a time when we were pretty hopeless about selling our Philly house. The only reason we tried again is because of Capri-magic. She calmed us, coached us and called us through the whole process. She never lied to us about our prospects, but also gave us enough hope to keep pressing forward. We ended up with an offer better than we could of imagined. Capri was probably happier than we were; that's how invested she was in making it work. Thank you Capri and team. Because of this miracle, my wife and I are in a better place to have a family.

John quickly felt less like a professional partner, but a dear friend as we continued to work with him. Our house was not an easy sell; his professionalism and persistence is really what sold our house. He went with us on many weeknights to walk through MANY homes. As all home sales and purchases, rarely are these deals simple. John knew how to handle every situation we faced and guided us through the process. While we assumed that he had other clients, we felt like we were the only people he was currently working with. He was responsive to our calls, texts and emails and was willing and able to answer all of our questions in a kind, professional and caring manner. He was an advocate for us, gave us sound advice and made this process as easy and seamless as possible. While we do not plan to move again, as he helped us find our perfect, forever home. I am confident in our recommendation of John Capella for all of your real estate needs!

I'm surprised I'm the first person to write a review for Colleen because she's AMAZING! If you…read moredon't have time to read the whole entire review below, all you have to know is you will not regret having Colleen help you with your house search. No need to look further. I promise. If you have time, here's our experience with Colleen: My boyfriend and I recently moved from the New York Metro area to Philadelphia for my job. My company's relocation team helped me with finding a trusted Realtor in the Philly area and how fortunate we were it was Colleen who we were paired with! Lucky us! To give a little background, in the past 5 years I've lived in four different states. While it's always fun to think about living in a new city, the worst part of it all is trying to find a place to live - especially in a bigger city like New York and Philadelphia. I was dreading having to look for a new apartment. To compound to the stress, we pretty much only had two weeks to pack our current apartment, find a new place, and move. While we can list out about 100 things that's amazing about Colleen, here are the two which meant the most to us: 1. She is VERY knowledgeable about the Philadelphia area - Since we've never visited Philly, we really had no idea which neighborhood would be a good fit for us. While we were driving around the city, Colleen took time to explain to us the different neighborhoods (Rittenhouse Square area, Society Hill, Washington Square) - what the vibe was like, what restaurants/bars are good, shopping, how to get around, etc. She even drew us an awesome map to follow so we won't forget the areas we were in after we went back to the hotel! It was a great way for us to see if the neighborhoods we were checking the apartments in fit with our lifestyle. We learned so much about the city from her. 2. She gets to know her clients - Since I'm in Marketing, I can't help but say the reason why Colleen is awesome is because she understands the basics of marketing 101. She understands the wants and needs of her clients. She does this by getting to know her clients, and because she made the effort to get to know us she knew what would be a great fit for us. I'd say she probably had 20+ apartments on her yellow paper as options for us to visit on our rental tour (which she contacted the landlord or building to set-up appointments prior to us visiting). Did we visit all of it? Nope. And it's not because she was lazy, it's because after spending time with us she knew what type of apartments and/or neighborhoods were a good fit for us. She prioritized those the places which fit our needs first. The only problem we had after our rental tour was having to pick only ONE place to live! Definitely a good problem to have! Once we finally decided to put in an application in, she made life easier for us by handling the paperwork and more. We went on a tour on Sunday, debated for 2 days which apartment to pick, and by the end of the week we were approved for move-in:) The most painless apartment hunting I've ever had in my life! It's been a month since we moved in and we love where we are. There is no doubt in our minds we would not be as happy as we are if it wasn't for Colleen. I'll recommend her to ANYONE who needs help finding apartments or houses in Philadelphia. Trust me, she will get the job done and you will not regret.
