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.

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!

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!

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 is thorough and responsive and set healthy boundaries along the way. I wasn't always sure how urgent something was and Kristin really supported me to know when we had to show up at a house immediately, or when it was okay to find a time that worked for my schedule. 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!
