Happy Clients.
"Ashley was wonderful to work with. I purchased my first home with her and she made the process efficient and less stressful. She was responsive to my many questions, she even reached out to the Philadelphia Historical Commission to get answers to my questions regarding replacing windows in a historical home. I could not be happier with my experience working with Ashley and I have recommended her to friends and family looking for homes in the Philadelphia area. "

"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
"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
"Working with Ashley was absolutely fantastic. We were nervous about starting the home-buying process and wanted to find someone we could trust who would be straightforward with us. From the start, Ashley was nothing but helpful and earnest in getting us to find exactly the right home for us. When questions or unexpected issues came up, whether it was about mortgages, inspection, or negotiating with the seller, she was immediately on top of it and gave us great guidance. The whole process went so much more smoothly than I expected and I credit that entirely to Ashley. I know I'll be recommending her to friends!"

"Katherine was a delight to work with! She was very professional and responsive and was receptive to all my quirks and my laundry list of requirements. It was a great experience working with her even during a challenging time like COVID and with it being a heavily weighted seller’s market. She kept me informed at all times and I didn’t have to reach out to her to ask for information."
Home Buyer
"We loved working with Ashley. Being first-time buyers we were so clueless, but Ashley made it clear and simple. She is extremely knowledgeable about South Philly (which is where we knew we wanted to buy). When we saw a posting for what ended up being the house we purchased, we wanted to look at it immediately. Although Ashley was out of town that day, she coordinated with one of her coworkers so that we could see the house the following morning. She guided us through the entire buying process and I still can't believe how smoothly the whole thing went. She is wonderful to work with and is committed to making your homeownership dreams come true!"
Shoshi, East Passyunk
"Ashley is AMAZING! It was truly wonderful working with her before, during and after the home buying process. She is incredibly responsive and thorough and was very attentive to our circumstances, preferences and concerns. This time around, we were randomly paired with Ashley, but should we find ourselves in need of a REALTOR® in the future, we will certainly be contacting Ashley intentionally! Anyone else we know looking to buy/sell in Philly will also be hearing about her!"

"Katherine made the process of buying my first home incredibly easy. Attentive and responsive to our needs and requests she was very quick to find us properties that interested us and once we submitted and had an offer accepted I was relieved at how strongly she advocated for our interests to make sure our purchase went smoothly."
