If I could go back in time, would I pick Nicole as our realtor again? Yes. Yes. A million times…read moreYES. We just closed on our first house and cannot express how much we recommend using Nicole. At the beginning of our homebuying journey we had vetted a few realtors beforehand. Other realtors we spoke to programmed our wants/budget into their system and were just sending us automated e-mails of listings that fit those parameters (which felt like something we could have set up on our own...) We went with Nicole because we loved how personalized she made the process, she really does make you feel like you are her only client. We had a group text going where she would send us the listings that actually fit what we were looking for and it allowed us to keep an open conversation with her about all the questions we had as first time home buyers. A surprise bonus was that Nicole actually flips homes in her spare time and is extremely knowledgeable at what is required to make certain updates in the home so she was able to provide rough cost estimates (on adding an extra bath, new flooring, etc) which proved to be tremendously helpful as we started looking at fixer uppers. She made the process as smooth as could be, but there are always circumstances that are out of your control.... Which brings me to the grand finale of Nicole's awesomeness on closing day. During our walk-through just hours before closing we entered our soon-to-be home to find 70% of the seller's belongings were still there. Without skipping a beat Nicole took control of the situation and assured us we would get everything out in time for closing. In a pair of nice sandals and in the pouring rain, she helped us move out an entire house within hours. It certainly was a day to remember lol and it forever solidified Nicole's title in my book as #1 realtor of all time.

Realtors are a "dime a dozen," but I was lucky enough to meet Taralyn (Tara) Hendricks at a…read moreproperty that she was the listing agent of. Soon after I asked her to be my buyer's agent. As a first time home buyer, I warned her that I was going to need a lot of explanation and "hand holding" during every step of the process. Tara immediately put me at ease and enthusiastically took me on as a client. I have found my experience as a first time home buyer to be relatively stress-free and seamless, which is due in large part to Tara's attention to detail, industry knowledge and experience. I would without hesitation recommend her to family, friends, as well as business colleagues. In a word, she's AWESOME!

He completely embraces the role of an exclusive buyer's agent and our positive experience was absolutely the result of Paul's efforts across the board. Not only was he ultra responsive on every one of our messages/emails (he didn't need to be but that's how he seems to work), but his emails and follow-ups to the seller side were always on point and professional. You always get the feeling that he was truly looking out for your interests. That's essentially working in the spirit of the role of exclusive buyer agent. If you are purchasing a home, you want an exclusive buyer agent just like Paul. Talk to him for a few minutes and you will likely agree. The bonus is that he's also a highly decent human being.

I cannot recommend Paul highly enough! As first time homebuyers, my wife and I relied heavily on…read morePaul's experience and expertise. He is an exclusive buyer agent, so we knew he had no ulterior motive in steering us towards certain listings. He was readily available and never made us feel like he had more important things to do than show us more houses. After we went to contract, he kept everything in track til closing. A great example of how much he cares about his clients: after we bought our house, Paul came over with his own tools, cut open some sheet rock, properly installed our dryer vent, and put it all back together. How many real estate agents will do that! And the most amazing thing is that all of his services cost us nothing since the sellers are responsible for any agents' fees! If you're in the market for buying a house, you should definitely give Paul a call!

Delighted to share my second experience working with Rachel Shaw, a truly phenomenal realtor -- I…read morefirst worked with Rachel three years ago to buy my first house, and I chose to work with her again recently to list and sell a house. As was the case when I was on the market as a buyer, Rachel is easy to work with and very knowledgeable about the market and the neighborhood. I really appreciated that she was transparent about the how/why of her pricing recommendations and listing strategy (taking the time to talk through every detail if that's what I needed) and I trusted her completely. A few other 'perks' that I didn't realize to look for in a realtor but were invaluable in my house selling experience: - Rachel has been doing this a long time, and has incredible insight on what types of updates to consider/prioritize that will increase the value and interest in the house (which was very helpful for me because my house needed some major refreshing, but with a very tight budget) - she has a list of recommended trades persons for any work you need to hire for (and will even recommend different shades of white paint for that fresh coat that you may want to apply before listing!) - she is SO responsive! No waiting around for a reply when you have a question/concern/need... she gets back so quickly and manages to thoroughly address the question/concern/need in the simplest way. - she is approachable and easy to work with, and also really savvy and strategic on getting the best possible outcome for her client I loved working with Rachel, and highly recommend her and the Philly Home Girls team for your real estate needs!

One of their agents scheduled a showing at my home for late afternoon. Around 9AM, while I was…read moreworking from home, their client opened my locked front door and walked in...without their real estate agent. I spoke to her briefly on the phone and she was half an hour away in the office in Cherry Hill. The client then left my key in the opened lockbox without closing it when I told her she had to leave (I had no way to confirm if this was really the agent I spoke to on the phone or a real client). The agent and the office itself never apologized for this, but a regional VP did. The agent then wanted to show my home later around noon so my agent said she would come in person for the showing to make sure everything was okay. This time, the agent was over half an hour late from our scheduled start time despite what happened that morning, leaving my agent and her client sitting outside the home for a very long time. I feel that this all displayed a horrible lack of professionalism and considering just how bad of an infraction it is for a client to walk into an occupied home unsupervised, it is astounding to me so little was done to rectify it and make ammends.
