We were nervous and stressed, but Lynne reassured that all would be well. She had our house listed and sold within 5 days (over asking!). Lynne walked with us every step of the way on what was a VERY busy month, we would have lost our minds without her. She is thorough, extremely responsive and the utmost professional. We are so grateful for her support and guidance.

She was incredibly patient when it came to our indecisiveness. When we finally found the perfect home, there were unusual circumstances around the purchase that required extra legwork from Lynne. She went above and beyond for us, and was always professional, extremely responsive, flexible, ethical and a pleasure to work with. We could not have been happier, and will be sure to use Lynne if we ever move again.

This review outlines a highly negative experience I had with Arlene Wayns Thomas owner of Reliance…read moreRealty LLC, this property manager who displayed numerous instances of unprofessionalism, incompetence, and dishonesty throughout her management of my property. The review details Arlene's failure to meet expectations and her consistent lack of communication. This was my first time renting my property so I figured it would be best to hire someone who was experienced in property management. I found Arlene through a google search. From the beginning, Arlene set a poor standard by arriving late to our initial meeting, attempting to undercut the rental price and losing the keys to my walkthrough and drive through gates in the rear of my home. When she asked for replacement keys I told her she needed to find my keys and I would not be given her any replacements. I also questioned her about the secure storing of keys for properties that she managed. Arlene said keys were stored in a key box with hooks but there was no identification linking the keys to the specific properties. Her unprofessional behavior extended to using subpar photography, being technologically illiterate, and not knowing how to operate basic property management systems. Several alarming incidents highlighted her disregard for both the property owner and tenants. For instance, she provided inaccurate tenant contact details and failed to activate the alarm system after a walk though, leaving the home unsecured. Arlene's handling of repairs was equally troublesome. Multiple handyman appointments were missed, and when repairs were made, there were no written estimates or receipts until I demanded to receive them, reflecting a lack of transparency. She also lied about receiving text messages and avoided giving exact repair details, leading me to doubt the handyman's qualifications and competence. The most concerning issues involved Arlene's failure to communicate key information, such as when the tenant refused to answer the door for repairs or refused entry altogether. Arlene even used a scare tactic, warning me about a tenant shooting a landlord, which reflects her unprofessional and irresponsible approach to problem-solving. Additionally, Arlene mishandled minor issues like troubleshooting lights, where a simple bulb change resolved the problem--something she was unable to figure out. The review concludes by describing Arlene's refusal to relinquish her role as property manager, even after her contract ended and I sent her certified mail stating that I wouldn't be renewing the contract with her. It took legal action and several certified letters to get her to stop collecting management fees. Arlene further stalled in providing critical documentation and the tenant's security deposit. Arlene also failed to return the keys to my property. I discovered upon the exit walk through with the tenant that Arlene changed my walk through and drive through gate locks in the rear of my home a year prior without my knowledge or permission. Overall, this review paints a picture of an unreliable, deceitful, and grossly incompetent property manager who consistently failed to meet her obligations. I suffered from her mismanagement, and the entire experience caused a year of unnecessary stress and loss of funds due to her many forms of dishonesty.

Great experience! Must use! We had a two week span between…read morebuying and selling our house during the Christmas holiday. Needless to say it could have and should have been a hectic (loose your hair) kind of month. But luckily we had Julia on our side. Her knowledge, experience, and calming approach made our process so smooth. Whenever we thought there was a hiccup with the mortgage company, inspection, the buyers, or sellers- she was our voice. She calmed our fears. She put out fires and was basically our bodyguard . She is seemingly on call 24 hours a day 7 days a week. Even more, she is so personable. I can honestly say we found a lifetime friend. So with this review.. if you are seriously thinking of buying or selling your property - call Fox & Roach Realty and request Julia Joyce-Hall. Give her 10 minutes of your time. You won't regret it.

Long review but I encourage prospective clients to read through before working with Ms. Joyce and…read moreBerkshire Fox & Roach. I have worked with Ms Joyce now for a few years. Unfortunately, most of my interactions with Julia have not been what I would deem as professional, borderline harassment, and have left me feeling endangered in my own home. Originally, we used Julia when we were relocating to NJ from another state via Zillow about a rental property she had listed. After our first year, we reached out to her about purchasing our rental or another home. Our meeting with her was difficult; she had a hard time focusing due to her own personal issues and in the end, we never got to discuss our needs as she discussed her life (fiancé took off work to make the meeting work). Following that, we were only presented with one home which we asked to tour. A tour was never set up, we lost the home, and we renewed our lease. She also made us a bit uncomfortable by a comment regarding the type of car we were in the process of purchasing (political). This year, we reached out to her again regarding multiple homes, none of which were shown to us. One home we were particularly interested in, but as I tried to inquire about the bid process I was told "I don't have time to deal with you guys". At this point, we found another realtor to work with and an offer was accepted. After giving notice to our landlord, Ms Joyce personally texted me with a sarcastic comment congratulating us on the home, to which I didn't engage. She then continued to message me to which I responded to (see screenshots). At this point, she was asked to stop contacting me and go solely through our landlord; this did not occur. During our final month in the rental, Ms Joyce made it extremely difficult for us (either due to incompetence or personal grudges). A large for rent sign (expected) led to multiple people walking around the property while I was home. A lockbox was placed on our door, code showing, and then fell open leading us to believe a stranger now had access to our home. However, we were told no key was there. We were told there was a showing, but a key was never placed in the box. My fiance had to leave work early to give OUR own key to the realtor, and then was told the showing never even confirmed. Following this, we were bombarded with emails demanding we sign off all liability to agency regarding their lockbox (see contract). Per our lawyers, we declined and stated the concerns 1. lock wasn't a smart lock- in fact I was able to open it in just over a minute, my grandfather picked it in 45 seconds and my fiancé could get it open in less than 20. 2. It's a three digit style box, not secure and was placed on our front door with a big tent sign outside while we still occupied said property. 3. Our lease does not specify this lockbox requirement When we responded, her partner, Chris Tawrdy, became extremely hostile and demanded we pay for the lock (which isn't broken). Julia then responded blaming them being 'protective' of her (whatever that means) and that we can only talk to her (see screenshot). We asked for a second time to no longer contact us. At this point, she contacts our landlord asking him to talk to my partner about taking down a review they posted. After we moved out, harassment continued. we began to receive calls regarding showings (even though we were no longer the tenants), including calls at 2am asking our permission for showings. Today she sent us an obituary for her husband, continuing her passive aggressive attempts at guilting us for not using her for a purchase. At this point, I decided to take the time to also write up a review about my experiences as a warning to other potential clients. Personally, I've felt unsafe in my home as a result of her erratic behaviors and we have lost both money and valuable time. There are some amazing realtors and agencies in South Jersey, this is not one of them. What should have been a happy moment has turned into a nightmare.

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!

As I've recognized, I want to say the heart of the issue of my previous post, I didn't feel…read moreprotected by this realtor for her to request a reduction AT ALL (and enough), let alone before any repairs/upgrade would be requested (a specific previous need). How would you feel? (I was more than accommodating by the way I left the house before selling as well as for her requests that already had reduced the price.) It felt sly by both her and the buyer (and the buyer's realtor) to do this - request a reduction and ONLY THEN to request a real need for yet another upgrade/repair. She ended up the cost of that 'need'. The realtor ought to protect by preventing clients from requesting to reduce through hasty decisions - right then and there - likely judging you're determined to sell. Rather, discuss the reasoning, R: "What do you think?" S: Will they not buy it otherwise? Is there something that makes my home extra desirable for that buyer? If so, then a reduction won't matter. Will you be requesting other upgrades/repairs? (Protect me!)" R: "Think about it & give me a call in a day (or two)" kind of conversation. If she had not left me/us unprotected, I wouldn't have felt this all this time. I say this to prevent sellers from having to experience this hurt feeling & for realtors to not just look at the sale but your clients as future sellers. Though we know it's not always easy for the seller to give up their special place, the realtor can alleviate the change/difficulty by making the client feel valued.

Believe her when she tells you, she WILL find you your perfect home! Kat genuinely knows her stuff, thoroughly, and her insight on every area and even every neighborhood was an invaluable asset throughout our search. Her knowledge, patience, and professionalism came in clutch, even after closing.

What really stands out about Kat is how she always went above and beyond, especially during some very challenging times for our family. She was patient, understanding, and always made us feel supported. Whether we had questions, concerns, or just needed someone to ease our worries, she was there with thoughtful guidance and a calm presence that made all the difference.

Danyelle was very knowledgeable regardless of topic. But if there was a question she did not feel she could answer she put us in contact with experts and her contacts.

I made the decision to find a home with an in-law setup so that my father and I could be close while maintaining our independence. I wondered how on earth I was supposed to accomplish this. My Mom was good with these things... Diane, Kate, and the team made the entire process of buying and selling a house seamless. Whenever a challenge arose, like needing junk removal or specific house repairs, Diane and her team quickly found efficient solutions. More than once, Diane responded with that familiar phrase, "I know a guy." This took so much of the pressure and burden involved in buying/selling off our shoulders. I truly appreciated their ability to communicate and provide valuable advice to us throughout this whole process. This is a team with knowledge, depth, and experience! Highly recommended!

We never felt unsafe going through the home search as they made every effort to keep everyone safe during these trying times of COVID-19.
