Happy Clients.

"Janette is the best! We were looking to buy our first home, and she was so knowledgeable and patient while she walked us through the entire process. She asked great questions to help us figure out what we wanted, and when it came to negotiations and purchasing our home, she was with us every step of the way. She was incredibly responsive and did the right amount of follow up (stayed in touch, but wasn't pushy at ALL which was really nice). She even gave us recommendations for contractors we can use, and they all talk about how much they enjoy working with her. 100000000000/10 recommend working with her! Everyone we met from her team during the process was really nice as well."

Home Buyer

"We worked with Janette to sell our home in Philadelphia this past spring, and she couldn't have been more wonderful to work with. She's knowledgeable, incredibly caring, and always responsive. She educated us every single step of the way, answered our questions thoroughly, and made sure we felt comfortable with each decision that was made. She made a stressful time feel so manageable for us, and her hard work and consistency led to a smooth transaction all around. We're so glad that we had the chance to work with her, and cannot recommend her enough."

Home Seller

"Janette helped us sell our South Philly row home last Summer. It needed some cosmetic help on a tight budget and she had lots of smart suggestions! It turned out super cute and sold fast for above asking (and for way more than it would have, had we done nothing). Not only did her eye for design and detail max out our profit, she was pleasant to work with and always available when we had questions or concerns. She really knows her stuff. Great taste AND a great person! I highly recommend her!"

Home Seller

"Janette was so wonderful during our first home buying experience. She helped us by providing all of our options and walking us through the details. She made herself readily available and was always quick to respond to any needs. She makes you feel relaxed and excited through the entire process. She also makes you feel like you are her first priority and she's a wonderful advocate for her clients. We loved working with Janette! You will be in great hands!"

Home Buyer

"I had the absolute pleasure of working with Janette Spirk as my real estate agent during the purchase of my first home in Philadelphia, and I can't sing her praises enough. From the moment we met, Janette exhibited a deep understanding of our unique needs in this process. We were in search of an older home with a lot of charm, and Janette not only found us our dream location but also navigated the complexities of the home buying process with finesse and ease." "One of the most remarkable aspects of working with Janette was her unwavering support and advocacy for us throughout the entire journey. As a queer female couple, we were understandably cautious about potentially facing discrimination or being taken advantage of in the real estate market. However, Janette treated us with the utmost respect and really showed us that we made the right decision in putting our trust in her. Moreover, Janette's expertise extended far beyond simply helping us find the perfect home. She went above and beyond to provide us with invaluable referrals for contractors, making the transition into our new home seamless and stress-free. Her extensive network of trusted professionals speaks volumes about her dedication to her clients' satisfaction and her commitment to delivering exceptional service at every turn. Janette is not just an outstanding real estate agent; she's a true advocate and a valuable member of any home buying team. Her professionalism, integrity, and genuine care for her clients set her apart in the industry, and I would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone in search of their perfect home. If I ever find myself in need of a real estate agent again, Janette will be the first person I call without hesitation. Thank you, Janette, for making our home buying experience truly unforgettable!!"

Home Buyer

"Janette is the best real agent I've ever worked with. I've bought/sold homes in Boston, NYC, and now Philly, so I've got a decent amount of experience working with different REALTORS® in different areas. We decided to move in the midst of the pandemic to get more space to account for working at home and kids doing remote schooling. We initially got in touch with another REALTOR® through a referral but she had done most of her work in the suburbs and didn't have the expert knowledge of the city and in particular of South Philly that we felt could really help us as new residents of the city. Another friend recommended Janette and she was great from day 1. Super responsive via email and text. As soon as we had our offer accepted, she sent Google Calendar invites to remind us of key milestones (why doesn't everyone do this???). We had a bit of anxiety (as all buyers do) and she had a good balance of keeping us calm while also acknowledging our concerns. Finally, she fought for us even down to the last day -- in all the home transactions I've been a part of, I've never had anything stand out on the final walkthrough but it happened this time. Janette used it as an opportunity to make sure we were protected in case it was really a serious issue and worked with all parties to come to an agreeable settlement without derailing the closing. I highly recommend Janette, especially if you are looking to buy/sell in South Philly since she lives in the area herself. So much of real estate, especially in Philly as I'm discovering, varies from block to block. Even getting down to the neighborhood level isn't enough as some blocks are much more desirable than others, even if they're just the next block over! You want a local expert like Janette guiding you through the process."

Homeowner

"We decided to buy our first home in Philadelphia. Neither one of us had lived in the city before, so, naturally, we had a million questions. Janette was recommended to us by friends of ours who had used her to buy their home, and after working with her I would absolutely recommend her to anyone. Especially first time buyers like ourselves! She happily answered any questions we had, and it became apparent early in the process how valuable a resource she would be to us. Her depth of knowledge made the process much less stressful than it could have been, and we still remark how dealing with her was the easiest part of the entire process! We quickly trusted to follow her lead and her recommendations, and were very satisfied with the results. Trust Janette! She knows best!"
