Being a first time home buyer, the task of not only searching for a future home in an already…read morelimited + difficult market, but also finding the perfect person to guide you, advise you, understand your vision, represent + advocate for you can seem like a daunting task. If you are feeling this way, I implore you to pick up the phone or click on the connect link and reach out to Liz. After our very first call with Liz, my husband and I were relieved to know that our search had come to an end. We were greeted with such warmth, charisma, knowledge, professionalism, and most importantly confidence. After our call - we knew we had the right person by our side to navigate us through this market + get us to the finish line. Throughout our home buying journey Liz assisted us with: - Curating a refined MLS portal that my husband and I could easily interface with on a day-to-day basis to stay on top of the market + new listings. - Connecting us to the best network of professionals to assist with all of our home buying needs, ie. (mortgage brokers, inspectors, title companies, insurance professionals, etc.) the list goes on... - Getting us in to see homes as quickly as possible and almost always before they hit the open house market. - Providing her expertise during walk throughs/site visits and engaging us while educating us on what to look out for. - Brainstorming creative angles to work up the perfect offer and set us apart + ahead of other buyers flooding the market. - Keeping us on task, focused, informed of upcoming deadlines and always one step ahead of the game so that we never felt overwhelmed by the process. In just 2 short months we found our c.1700s dream Pennsylvania Stone Farmhouse + the rest is history. Without Liz, her team, and network of talented and dedicated professionals working around the clock; this would never have been possible. We were lucky to have crossed paths + have gained not only a lifelong realtor but also a friend in the process. Don't second guess this decision - you owe yourself the opportunity of a great home buying experience with someone by your side that you can truly trust, that advocates for you WITH or WITHOUT you in the room, and that truly cares. A big shoutout/thank you to Liz and her team!

Liz patiently walked us through everything from the local market, to finding the right lenders, and even guided us through an offer we needed to make within hours of seeing a house. She's who you want on your team when you're figuring out what you need and how to get it in a market that's constantly changing. And she's not just great at understanding what buyers/sellers are thinking - she gave us detailed information about construction, helped us think through layouts, and just generally provided a deeper level of knowledge than other realtors we met. She was especially great at breaking down the differences between buying in the city vs suburbs and understanding the Mt Airy/Germantown area! Even better, she was a constant cheerleader for us! We knew Liz would tell us the truth about our expectations or focus on our needs rather than just closing on a property - she was excited for us and truly wanted to help us find a home we'd love. If you're looking for a home in Philly, Liz and her team are THE way to go - we never felt like we were anything but her top priority!

TENANTS BEWARE -- OUR LIVED EXPERIENCE…read more We had major safety and health violations and the only time we saw any response from the landlord was after we paused rent payments. After weeks of daily calls and maintenance requests, that finally got someone out--though the repairs were minimal or nonexistent. It is absolutely the only way to get these slumlords to do anything. I truly cannot believe these people are not in prison as their behavior is criminal. We had a house full of broken windows, dishwasher, toilet, washer and dryer from day one. We had foot long (!!) rats crawling on our bed while we were sleeping in the first week. There was a ginormous hole that opened up in the roof from which water, mold, rats, snakes, and birds came though frequently. I can see they are advertising this as useable space. I am including a pic. I cannot understand why they would not want to protect the structural integrity of their building, even if they don't give a damn about their tenants. Our basement had standing water in it during our entire stay with water leaking from the ceilings in multiple rooms and paint bubbling off the walls. There were open holes to the outside everywhere and we watched many snakes slide across the floors. Our stove/oven did not work for over 6 months. Our heat never worked and it's cold in Philadelphia. The only way I could get a visit (in which little was done after weeks of calling every day) was to pause my rent until they had maintenance out. Despite reporting these issues repeatedly, maintenance was unresponsive for long periods (months!). If you're a current or former tenant of this landlord, you may not be alone. I have extensive documentation, including photos and messages. Feel free to reach out if you'd like to connect or compare notes on Foyle and Foyle's Rat Palaces. I also strongly encourage others to report unsafe or unhealthy housing conditions to: The Philadelphia Housing Authority The Better Business Bureau Local housing advocates or tenant unions No one should have to live like this.

Then they reposted saying new carpet was installed, however there are no photos of the 3rd bathroom, that was the most concerning in the original photos. We finally were able to schedule a tour which was confirmed with both my partner and I separately for Saturday at 11. We arrive a little before 11, and attempted to approach the property only to be met by multiple other people who were also told to be there at 11 for a showing but informed us that no one was there yet to show it. We then proceeded to wait 45 minutes and still no one showed up. We each emailed and called the only number, which was an office number to which on one of course answered on a weekend. We left voicemails and it is now two days later and we have still not received any follow up. I guess a good preview of what we are not missing out on. Piss poor communication.

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.

We have had issues since day one with our new construction rental property with Ferraro Properties…read more First for about a week upon moving in our property had a dysfunctional central air system, leaving our apartment at about 100 degree's in the midst of a heat wave. The unit's brand-new microwave also did not work and was not replaced for about a month. To keep the list going the alarm system also did not work. Our frustrations continued with Ferraro Properties in the coming months as we experienced our doorknob falling out of our front door, leaking toilets, and water damage eroding the ceiling. Lets keep in mind this apartment was "new construction". We filed service requests with Ferraro Properties to correct these issues only to have the leaking toilet begin to spew water from the valve upon "repair". The water damage was only corrected on the roof of the property leaving the eroding ceiling unfixed to this day. The issues with the leaking toilet continued as it was "repaired" again only to have it start running this time with our water bill sky rocketing to 3 times it's normal amount. A third service request was made to fix the issue of sky-high water bills when we only use a normal amount of water. Nothing was done about this issue for 2-3 months while Ferraro Properties had us paying $200 water bills, but that isn't their problem. Finally when the property was checked for leaks only a temporary fix was made, leaving us with yet another service request to be filed on the same toilet when another issue came up. To add to the list of issues our doorbell, alarm system, and camera monitoring unit have been broken for several months with no action taken despite several requests. This is a major concern to me because a home intruder was shot inside of our neighbors home 2 doors down and ended up on our doorstep. The staff at Ferraro Properties are what many would call negligent and unresponsive to their tenants concerns. They do not respond to email, texts, and phone calls in a timely fashion. I would not choose Ferraro Properties in the future.
