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 was a dream come true for us. We were looking into home buying for the first time and didn't…read moreknow much about the local are or the process. 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!

We met Neal in 2008 when we were trying to buy a house outside of Conshohocken. He was not the…read morelisting agent for the house, so after he showed it to us, we took him on as our agent. First, Neal bent over backwards trying to make a deal with the owners, who proved to be intransigent. (Added to this, the whole thing was contingent on our selling our house in the city, so he was already in a difficult position - our bad!). So that did not work out, and of course he made no money at the time, but continued to come up with similar properties that might be of interest to us. Admittedly, he had some self-interest, but this is what he does for a living, so we didn't mind. Besides, he was smart, insightful, fun and, as it turned out, he was also a very hard worker, a tenacious advocate and he was extremely knowledgeable about real estate practices, inspections, legal matters - pretty much anything you might want in a realtor. We didn't sell our house at that time. Fast forward 2 years to summer 2010: with the market plummeting, we somehow managed to sell our row house in the city, and we were in the market for a house in the near suburbs, with 6 weeks to find it. We did not hesitate to contact Neal. Our decision was rewarded many times over. We did a lot of research on our own (Trulia, Realtor.com etc), but Neal would meet us after work 2 or 3 times a week, and sometimes both weekend days with our itinerary of 3 to 5 houses all planned out. We'd roam around Jenkintown, Elkins Park, Rydal, Abington for hours, taking as much time as we liked, Neal ever upbeat, never saying no to suggestions, meeting times, long days. He probably spent his eventual commission on gas alone. We made one offer that didn't work out (several evenings of work for Neal there, we were not happy with the selling realtor, and Neal made sure he knew it), another offer we decided against at the last minute (owners did not disclose that the house was in the flood plain... Neal gave that realtor an earful too!) Finally we found our house in Elkins Park. The realtors for the seller were fine, but the owner was somewhat difficult. At one point she totally backed out based on a disagreement over inspection. Neal smoothed that over too. In the end, Neal walked us through the inspection, paperwork, financing, and closing, late nights, phone calls by the hundreds probably. In the end, all I can say is you cannot do better in your choice of real estate agent. He knows everything, works like a dog, is unflappable (unless you want him to flap), charming, businesslike, and extremely tolerant of his client's idiosyncrasies.

Jon is THE guy to use. Referred to us by coworkers and…read morelooking for a forever-home, we were very picky with who would represent us in this tough market. Throughout the whole process Jon was responsive and reliable as was his whole team. A huge plus is that his work background means he has a keen eye for specific details while walking through prospective homes. We always felt like we were in good hands with Jon and that he really cares. We closed our home with ease and referred our close friends shortly after!

He is incredibly patient and supportive through a process that can be stressful and at times defeating. He provides great advice and counseling as and his knowledge of the industry trends and market is astonishing. We have bought two homes now with Jon's support and sold one under his direction. Madeline, the Director of Operations, is also absolutely amazing and she is organized and efficient. We felt like we didn't have to worry about a thing because Madeline always made sure we were aware of key dates and needs for both the selling and purchasing of our homes. She is kind and patient and we are very thankful to her. I cannot recommend Christopher Real Estate enough. Do not hesitate to chose Jon and his team for your real estate needs. They are truly the absolute best in the industry.

His expertise and attention to detail gave us complete confidence throughout the entire process. What sets Kevin apart is his commitment and work ethic. He is extremely responsive and truly goes above and beyond to ensure everything is handled perfectly. Kevin was always keeping us informed and ahead of the process. He made what can often be a stressful experience incredibly smooth and even enjoyable. We found a great investment property that we feel confident about for the long term.

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.
