Christopher Somers allegedly banned me from a neighborhood Facebook group that he is an…read moreadministrator of after I raised concerns about a neighboring pizzeria that, according to city records, appears to have been operating without the required food preparation license and a streetery/sidewalk café license, with seating that's been taking up 3-4 parking spots. And instead of holding the Fishtown BID accountable for not cleaning up their trash (which a business is entitled to do themselves if they have a legal streetery, which this is not because a valid food license is a prerequisite for one), he invited me to a neighborhood cleanup instead. Yes, that's right, he asked me to clean up after a business trashing our neighborhood and charging $42 for pies. This raises a pretty basic question about his judgment and integrity. Why would he silence someone for raising legitimate questions about whether a local business is following the same licensing rules everyone else is expected to follow? These licenses cost money and exist for a reason. If a business is operating without them while other businesses comply, that deserves scrutiny, not censorship. And if Christopher or his team at Keller Williams disagrees with the concept of businesses being required to operate with a license to serve food, they're welcome to explain why. The first thing I'd ask myself if I was looking for a realtor is if they'd give me any reason to suspect they would take shortcuts with paperwork and legal issues. Is this really who you want to trust to find your next dream home for you?

Used Chris Somers twice. First sale went fine in 2013. Second property was close to a million…read moredollars asking and he left a lot to be desired. Sale didn't close and he didn't follow through on anything the way he should have. Because the buying agent was within his firm everything was half-assed. Paperwork was late or missing. He didn't even follow up with agents from outside his firm that had interested clients. Cherry on top: He promised to reimburse me for a home inspection for the property I had under contract if our sale fell through. After the sale fell through, only offered to reimburse me if I listed with him again. Shady AF. Used a different agent and sold the property, and it was a night and day difference in terms of communication and follow through. That agent closed the deal and kept me up to date with any pertinent info. ALL paperwork was on time and completed and no excuses were ever made. He managed my expectations, but also reassured me in a cautious way when it was appropriate. Conclusion: use someone else who has the time to do a good job.

I'm not even sure how my wife found him. But my point is that Paul isn't interested in cheap self promotion. He's interested in YOU and in making sure you get the home you want.

He picked up on our cues and helped us prioritize what we wanted from our first home. His team let us know what to expect every step of the way. I highly recommend Paul Fiorello and The Silva Group for your home buying needs.

If you're looking for a real estate agent who will hammer a sign in your yard, have an open house, and passively wait for offers, Pip is NOT your guy. If you want someone who respects you and your property, will actively market it (maybe with an amusing YouTube video), and get you a great offer in record time, give Pip at JFKLiving a call/email/text.

I've waited awhile to post this review because I've been so angry about it for the last, almost, 2…read moreyears. We first met Katie at a home we were interested in. She seemed so knowledgeable about the house and the entire process that we felt we found a great realtor. We were also told that we were obligated to buy a house from the realtor who showed it to us... Anyway, we were fine with that at the time. We were then pushed off to a different realtor named Carla. She seemed fine so, again, not a big deal. We found our dream house and were SO excited to put a bid on it. When we did, it was quickly denied as they wanted their asking price. So I asked that we put back in a counter offer and we were told not to waste our time. Since this was our first home, I wasn't sure if this was normal or not but I trusted her. She quickly pushed us to a house that was new on the market and being sold by the owner who had flipped it. It wasn't in the best of neighborhoods but still in the school district we wanted to be in. We were told if we wanted it we had to make an offer asap bc the owner "wanted to sell to a family like us"; which in retrospect seems weird since he had no idea who we were and Carla seemed to know him well already. We put an offer in and it was very quickly accepted. Our inspector came and noted a bunch of things that needed fixing and also mentioned that since the house is old, we needed to get the pipe from the house to the street checked. The seller insisted that was unnecessary because it was brand new as well as all of the plumbing in the house. Now, this was our first house. We had no idea what a seller's disclosure was. We assumed our realtors had our backs and were on our side. Maybe others are, but Carla and Katie are not. We didn't get one, nor were we told we wouldn't be getting one. They just wanted the commission so they could be done. At our final walk-through, none of what we asked the seller to do was done. Carla nor Katie seemed to be bothered by this. In fact, the seller insisted these were things we could do on our own; like fix the windows that kept falling. We looked to the professionals we hired and at no point did they insist the seller take care of business. We signed and we got our house... We were happy until we realized every time we would take a shower, water went into the "water-proofed" basement. We called the plumber and he said it's either because the drains are clogged or because of the cracked pipe. When we asked him to explain, we found out that the seller lied to us about the pipe being brand new. It's a $16,000 fix and we never would have bought this house had we known. Why didn't we know?? Because there was no seller's disclosure... So here we are... stuck in a house that will eventually cost us a lot of money and all Carla and Katie wanted was this sale to be over so they could have their commission. When confronted about this, it was blown off as we knew about all of this. WE WERE FIRST TIME HOME-BUYERS!! Oh and to add insult to injury, the house we REALLY wanted sold for less than we offered. So to Carla and Katie, we trusted you both and you screwed us. I have told every single person I know that talks about buying or selling to stay away from your company. You should be ashamed of yourselves.
