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! An all-around positive (and successful!! she got my house sold so quickly, and over asking!) experience!

If you're looking to buy or sell Real Estate, I would highly recommend that you consider Remax Home…read moreExperts. In full disclosure, I have known John Benson (RHE's owner & broker) for over 20 years, and ultimately chose him based on our friendship rather than a referral or advertisement. That aside, from a business and professional perspective, it turned out to be the wisest decision we could have possibly made. Based on his performance and the performance of all of the businesses/resources in his reach, I am absolutely confident he and Remax Home Experts extends the same dedication and service to all potential clientele. Our situation was extremely difficult to begin with. We were in the waning months of recovering from a disastrous move to the Northern Mariana Islands. Because of the way mortgage entities operate, our forward financial projections (which were very promising) meant nothing, and we were stuck with the shaky positions of our past financial history during the qualification process. Further, while we had the means to pay for a mortgage on a monthly basis, we had very little in savings and virtually no leverage to bargain with should a tight negotiation ensue. All-in-all, we were very difficult clients from the start. Further, the time we chose to look for a house was most likely the most difficult era for homebuyers since the 1970's. While the guise of a 'buyer's market' emanated through the media filter, the plain fact was that the terrible decisions of the financial industry and the repercussions of the collapse of so many financial institutions made it nearly impossible to secure a mortgage, especially given our personal financial situation. Mr. Benson took all of this into account from the start and used a very diligent, realistic approach to help us buy a home. Sadly, he didn't know what he was in for with us. Over the course of almost a year, we looked at over a hundred properties and made several offers. Because of the difficulties with obtaining a mortgage (banks absolutely did not want to lend money to anyone at that time,) and a litany of other problems, such as, inspection failures, inept foreclosure processes, inabilities to obtain Occupancy Certs, etc... (you name it and it happened,) each and every offer fell apart. In this time, I realized just how awful many Realtors and Real Estate Brokers can be at their profession. Many, many times, our intent to buy a home from a Realtor was squashed not by the seller or the financial process; but by the laziness, half-hearted approach, or simply complete incompetence of the Realtor, him/herself. My wife and I were astonished on several occasions by the tepid and duplicitous practices of many of these folks, and often, we found ourselves wondering how it was that these folks made any income whatsoever selling Real Estate. Trust me, our experience with 90 percent of these other Realtors was worse than my limited vocabulary can muster in this review. Luckily, we were absolutely blessed with having Mr. Benson & Remax Home Experts representing us. This was an extremely difficult process all-the-way around. John & his staff explained the potential difficulty from day one, and, rather than walking away from the start, stuck with us until the grueling process was at last completed. On several occasions, Mr. Benson actually prevented us from giving it up altogether. Even in the darkest days of our frustration, he never lost his resilience and dedication to the job at hand; all the while maintaining a realistic and honest approach to the situation and the range of homes we should be considering. There was never a gimmick, nor a false-promise given. Everything came from a sound, wise and competent perspective. Things we want are difficult to get. Mr. Benson clearly understands that and made an astounding effort to help us reach the ultimate goal. My wife and I now live in a lovely home in Quakertown thanks to Remax Home Experts and specifically, thanks to John's great strength and dedication to his profession. I'm not big on saying I couldn't do something without someone; but in this case, My wife and I absolutely could not have done this without Remax Home Experts. If you're in need of a Realtor, take my advice; give Remax Home Experts a call. PS: They Recently moved to a new address. I believe it's: 530 S. 2nd Street Suite 109 Philadelphia, PA 19147 ::::

What a pleasure to experience a new financial institution that will become family for years to come if we could only receive such service from others as well.

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.

She also truly wants the best for her clients-she took the time to really understand what we were looking for, is incredibly patient, and not only never pressured us but strongly encouraged us to look at homes that were the remotest of possibilities (I was worried about wasting her team's time but as she kept reminding me, the more properties we saw, the more informed we would be). She and Courtney are also so organized and helped us stay on track and on task for the whole laundry list of things that happen when you buy a house. They gave us a beautifully organized binder at settlement with all the docs we will ever need along with notes about what to do when (e.g., if you don't get a mortgage bill by this date, follow up, etc). Plus Capri is just really fun and kind and a joy to spend time with, and is clearly very invested in the Philadelphia community and supporting other local businesses. I know I'm gushing-and I never write effusive reviews-but honestly, that's how great they are!
