I worked with Carolyn to buy my new home. Carolyn did a fantastic job, and I will absolutely be working with her again! Her knowledge of the area, along with her obvious passion for real estate, helped put me at ease. She made herself available to us and helped set up multiple showings. When it came time to make an offer and work towards an agreement, she helped us tremendously despite some rather complicated details. Personally and professionally, I enjoyed working with her! read more

I've worked with Andrew for both buying and selling and he and the rest of the team are excellent!! I would recommend him to anyone with confidence. read more

Brittany was super helpful and new the area very well. Everything went really smoothly - thoroughly recommended!

I worked with Brittany S. to sell my house and also had her help me buy my new one, and she was fantastic both times. She made the selling process smooth and stress-free, and when it came time to buy, she was just as helpful--always responsive and on top of everything. Brittany really knows her stuff and genuinely cares about her clients. I highly recommend her if you're looking to buy or sell! read more

Worked with Andrew Lobosco on purchasing a house recently. He went the extra mile to make sure the process went smoothly and all parties were informed. Would certainly recommend him and would use his assistance again myself. read more

Andrew is so fantastic! As a first time home buyer who moved from LA to Philly, I can say Andrew made my life so much easier. I told him exactly what I wanted (and didn't want) and what neighborhoods I thought might be good. He quickly curated a list of homes, and literally by the time I woke up the next morning, he had already gone to see my 3 favorites, took videos and pictures of everything (he even took one standing in the shower so I could see how small it was, lol!!), scoped out the block/neighborhood, and got insights on the sellers. He made himself available to meet with my brother, my aunt/uncle, and to repeatedly talk to my dad to answer questions - and always with a smile and a warm heart. Believe it or not, I ended up buying my new home site-unseen because of how much I trusted Andrew! He and his team also made the whole process and all of the paperwork really easy. Abheepsa had a whole timeline and checklist and everything outlined for me and they kept me logistically on track. I never felt like I was bothering them or asking too many questions, they just genuinely want to be there for you. All in all, I can say what should've been the most stressful experience in my adult life, was actually enjoyable. I learned a lot, I laughed a lot, and now I own a home I love! Thank you, Andrew!!! read more

Brittany Skinner is an outstanding representative for Fresh Places. I first met Brittany a few years back when she was showing a condo during an open house in our condo property. I was so impressed with her then that I kept her contact information, knowing that we would likely be trying to sell in a few years. I am so glad I did!! I've bought and sold more homes than I can remember at this point in my life, but I can honestly say she was one of the BEST people with whom I have worked. Her joyous, kind, and pleasant personality are so refreshing; when coupled with her extensive real estate knowledge and practical approach to business, she has been a dream come true for us. Trustworthy, honest, dependable, and steadfast--what a joy to know and work with her. Thank you, Brittany! Additionally, we cannot speak any higher for Abheepsa Purohit, Operations Manager, as well. Abheepsa has been fantastic to work with, from the time we received our initial offer from buyer all the way through to our closing last week. She is so responsive and "on top of things," helping us graciously with the closing while we live 2,500 miles away on the opposite coast. I cannot express enough gratitude in appreciation for her hard work on our behalf. Thank you, Abheepsa! read more

We worked with Freshplaces for our home search, through Kasandra Lenker. Through this home search journey, Kassy became a great friend and family for us! We had a fairly rigid criteria for the search. Kasandra was very patient with us, was not persuasive and was very objective in what she felt was a good selection vs not. Her calm and happy demeanor and expert judgment on Philadelphia real estate market inspired terrific confidence. She not only was a part of our journey to find a dream home in Society Hill, but also helped us with the set-up by identifying the appropriate vendors/contractors and being available for advice 24x7. The settlement process was extremely smooth, efficient and professional thanks to operations manager Abheepsa Purohit. Abheepsa was terrific in managing and tracking all the follow-ups and helped address every small and big query we had before the closing. Thank you Freshplaces for helping us find a great house which we can now call a home! read more

What a great realty group! Brittany goes above and beyond, very knowledgeable and trustworthy. So helpful throughout the whole process and incredibly personable. She is a true advocate for her clients and is very thorough. read more

Justin has now been my agent on 4 purchases and sales, both in the city and the suburbs, most recently the sale of a property in Fairmount and purchase of a property in the Main Line suburbs. Justin is very knowledgeable about neighborhood character, property desirability and value, and comparative pricing in both the city and suburbs. He is also a great person and very responsive/timely. I found Justin on a recommendation about 7 years ago when I bought my first home and have highly recommended him to others in the past and will continue to do so in the future. read more

My wife and I used Justin to buy our current house and sell our old house. Justin was an absolute professional from beginning to end and was a pleasure to deal with. He was always responsive and offered thoughtful and detailed analysis from a seasoned perspective. We truly felt as if we were always his number one priority. He stuck with us through the whole process and we always felt as if he genuinely had our best interests in mind. Justin is also very personable and just a great guy overall. On the buy side, Justin is very savvy, working with us to structure our offers so they would be as strong as possible given this incredibly competitive market. And on the sell side, Justin made the whole thing seem like a piece of cake even though we were dreading the process of listing and selling our house. We also loved working with every member of Justin's team, whether they were stepping in for Justin when he couldn't make a showing, or dealing with all of the other stuff that goes into buying and selling a house beyond the showings. In sum, we can't say enough good things about Justin and the entire team at Fresh Places. We highly recommend anyone looking to buy or sell in Philadelphia or the surrounding suburbs to work with him. I am confident that we bought the house of our dreams at a great price in this market without taking unnecessary risk, and sold our old house for top dollar or close to it. We couldn't be happier, and we are confident that you will be too if you work with Justin and his team. read more

This is long, and it just happened so yes, I'm frustrated. I am trying to not be rude. I had an unpleasant experience with Justin and Liza Bresson. I reached out through Zillow and Liza scheduled a walkthrough. They were so pleasant and enthusiastic. Liza and I talked about my previous work, pandemic challenges within local communities, and I even opened up about my own struggles with cancer. We also discussed the current housing market and how crazy it is. It felt like they were very kind and honest people. Anyway, the bottom units are getting decks put in this fall. I asked if the deck units were more and they said each unit was $1850- and that the upper units might go down because they didn't have decks. They would check the interest and decide from there. I asked because I wasn't sure if the $1850 units were upstairs and the deck units below were more. It would be nice to have a deck, but ultimately I went with the upstairs unit because the light was better. I liked it, emailed my interest when I got home and applied shortly after. The entire time, Liza would say I was such a good fit, etc. I mentioned to Liza, the rent discussion, to which she replied that it was too soon for discounts and that she could do a $50 discount. I asked solely because she mentioned it during the walkthrough. A simple no would have sufficed. My application was approved and I was sent a lease and made a deposit to take the unit off the market last Friday. Liza said I could review the lease over the weekend. Apparently, off the market means that if two people are in a bidding war for the last unit, mine gets put back on the market for one of them. Justin voided my lease Monday morning, after I was told I could review it over the weekend. I'm very disappointed that they decided to do business like this. Even if the market is competitive, I think the proper thing would have been to come to me and explain. I would have paid more. During the email exchange, I asked why this would happen if it's off the market. The response I got was, "I stopped showing your unit. However the last unit had multiple showings and a bidding war. We do not have a signed lease and it's evident that I do not need to discount the rents in order to get the building leased." The phrasing of it felt very unprofessional. "We don't have a signed lease and it's evident I don't need you for my paycheck" is my interpretation. And ultimately, they're right. I didn't sign the lease yet. And that's because they emailed me that I could review the lease and the deposit would hold the unit for me. I have my deposit back and I'm sure it's all legal. I just don't see myself returning to landlords/agents with no integrity. There's too much of that today. If you choose to go with them, make sure you sign the lease ASAP (I got mine Friday and it was voided Monday...) and hope they don't pull any last minute loopholes with you. read more

Kassandra was awesome. We had some challenging criteria which resulted in a pretty broad search. Kassy brought great neighborhood insight and solid advice. Once we found the right house, she went above and beyond to avoid a bidding war and helped through the buying process. Thanks for the help and support! read more

Alex was the best agent we could have asked for! With just a few ideas of what we were looking for he found us the right house in a matter of weeks, even in this super-competitive market. He immediately got a sense for our tastes and the kind of place that would be our perfect home. He was available to answer our questions any time, helped keep us calm through the always-stressful buying process, and negotiated us a great deal. We will be recommending him to any of our friends in the Philly area. read more

Justin has been our agent on 3 house now and each time he has been a real pro. Attentive, knowledgable, and hardworking, we are planning on using him again and again. We'd highly recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell their house in the philly area. read more

I worked with Brittany in buying my first home. She made the home buying experience enjoyable! She was very knowledgeable and attentive. She always had a answer to every single one of my questions - and I had many. I highly recommend! read more

Kassie is the best! She made the home-search so easy with regular updates to the portal. She was very responsive to feedback in terms of things we are looking for in our home and catered the search to what we wanted. Her response rate via email/text was unbeatable. Once we found our perfect home, she helped us with every single step. She walked us through the inspection report and guided us on what we should focus on/how we can do some of the things on our own. She did the walkthrough with us as well and was always so flexible with our timings and accommodated to our schedule. I honestly could not have asked for a better real estate agent; she went above and beyond in every single way and made the process so easy! Thank you SO much, Kassie!! read more

Justin and his team were such a pleasure to work with. They were responsive, reliable and walked us though the buying process in a crazy market. On top of it all Justin is a great guy. I almost wish we could buy more houses! read more

I met Justin first in 2012 when I was looking for a home. I was not an ideal customer as every house I wanted was way out of my price range. Justin still took me to see all kinds of houses he knew I could not afford and did so with out every grumbling. Finally we found the right place at the right price and we both knew I needed to make an offer ASAP. There was competition on the sale and Justin was able to get the house below a competitors bid! (not a ton less, but I didn't think I was going to get it) Fast forward a few years and I still work with justin regularly. I work for a moving company and I have the luxury of moving a lot of his clients. I always ask them how the process was overall and they always have such wonderful things to say about Justin and his team. I am getting into real estate investment in Philadelphia and Justin is such a valuable source. He knows where the best pockets of Philly are for development and where the money is going. We are working on a couple of different options right now in West Philly and Brewerytown that I never would have thought of. so if you are looking for real estate investment opportunities or if you want to buy a primary residence home, Justin has you covered. Thanks Justin! read more

We got the seller's to come off their price by a margin of 27% in a very tough time to be a buyer. Brittany was great and even helped me get the tenants set up with their new lease as well as got my rental license stuff figured out for me AND the U&O certified prior to sale. Couldn't thank her enough she did great! Thanks Brit! read more

Brittany Skinner and the Fresh Places Real Estate team were a pleasure to work with right from the start. Brittany took the time to sit with me and understand all the variables that were factoring into my home purchase. She consistently extended herself for numerous open houses, phone calls, meetings, texts, etc, and was extremely responsive throughout the whole process. Going into this process for the first time, let alone by myself, ensured that I had a lot of questions and Brittany always made the time to not only answer them but also offered me reassure when I needed it. Beyond her professional real estate experience Brittany is also generally knowledgeable about home renovations, local neighborhood dynamics, and the broader home buying market as well. Brittany is smart, savvy, and always willing to go the extra mile for her clients and I'm so grateful she was on my team for this milestone! read more

Jamie was amazing. As a first time buyer, she took me step by step with this entire process and was quick to resolve any possible issues I've had along the way. She's very personable, supportive and kind. I would highly recommend her. read more

Justin did an outstanding job assisting us with the purchase of our home. His expertise in the local market was very helpful in determining competitive offer considerations, and he had a no-pressure (on us), grounded approach to putting together offer packages and negotiating with sellers. He was friendly, responsive, and always gave great advice. When things got a little tricky with the terms of our deal, Justin went above and beyond to make sure we were whole and taken care of. I would strongly recommend Justin as an agent for anyone looking to run a smooth, competent, and ultimately successful home search. read more

We've known Justin for nearly 5 years, first as tenants and now as buyers. Justin knows Philly and the main line like the back of his hand. He can quickly identify what the issues are, what's a deal breaker, and how to think about the house long-term. His advice was really important for this purchase given how difficult the markets were. We were able to close our home off market. He's also just genuinely a good person. I'd recommend working with him and the Fresh Places team without reservation. read more

Brittany of Fresh Places was recommended to me and, after our first conversation, I didn't feel the need to interview any other real estate professionals. Brittany is exceedingly knowledgeable about the Philadelphia-area housing market and its idiosyncrasies. She invests herself in the process with her client without adding judgement - I found her to be a calm and reassuring presence and felt able to make my own decisions and conclusions with her objective input. Brittany is prompt and punctual. I was never left waiting on her for showings, walk through, etc. I was able to complete all of my paperwork quickly and easily via email and DocuSign. Brittany is also a wealth of resources for things like Home Inspectors, Contractors, etc and always had someone she knew I could call during the home buying process and afterward. Brittany shows her clients significant care and acknowledges what an emotional process this can be. I appreciated her empathy so very much. At the end, I felt like I had made a true friend. read more

I worked specifically with Stacie as a first time buyer, and she went above and beyond for my situation!! I was working on a deadline that meant we we're viewing homes quickly, on a full, busy schedule. She worked tirelessly with my schedule and was quickly responsive (even at the later end of the night) when I had questions or last minute listings I was interested in viewing. She was patient, and I always felt comfortable asking questions even if it meant my naivete was showing. I felt that the process was explained well going in, and I would highly recommend her to first time buyers. When it came time to negotiate and close, we hit a few unforeseen bumps in the road, but Stacie was always transparent and ensured that I was aware of the ongoings and moving forward. I'm very glad that I worked with Stacie for my first purchase! read more

Brittany was exceptionally helpful, prompt, understanding and thorough throughout our entire house hunt experience with her as our realtor.

I want to start off by saying the home buying process intimidated me. I had no idea what would be required to purchase a home but with the help of Alex, Ryan, Gureenteed rates associates and Joey my family and I were able to purchase our dream home. The process began with me requesting information on a home and Alex emailing me. In this email Alex introduced himself and from there, it has been and unbelievable journey that I wouldn't trade in for the world. Alex took the time to explain the process of buying a home to us. He was extremely clear, educated and concise on what we needed to do to purchase our home. Both Alex and Ryan were extremely helpful with any questions my family and I had. They answered the phone beyond business hours. This is important to me because I am an overnight Registered Nurse. They both made me very comfortable and confident in knowing that I could reach out to them to have any and all questions answered without judgement. When we ran into credit issues they introduced us to Joey. Joey was able to work with us and bring our scores up to unbelievable heights with tips and financial guidance. Each step we accomplished I become more confident in the team that we had around us to guide us and support us. Last week my family and I moved into our dream home and we would never have been able to accomplish any of this without their help. We want to thank everyone that has been there for us from Alex, our realtor to Ryan and Gureenteed rates our, loan officials, to Joey, our financial advisor for our credit. They are truly an amazing team and my family and I would 10/10 recommend them. They are the absolute best! read more

Justin is an amazing realtor. So much, in fact, that he hustled to get us a full price offer on the very first showing of our Center City condo!

I can't say enough good things about Brittany. My fiancée and I worked with her to buy our first house. Not only was it our first house, but it is also a multi-family house that we had a contingency to have it zoned as such (it wasn't prior to our offer). This was a process that can't be done overnight and Brittany was an absolute All-Star through out the entire process. Between her knowledge of real estate and personality, she was an absolute pleasure to work with. We 100% want to work with her again for future properties and would, and have already, recommend her to other buyers. Buyers, whether you are looking for your first home, or looking for investment properties, I highly recommend Brittany Skinner. read more

From the very first day we sat down with Justin he always had our best interests at heart. As first time home buyers, there was a lot we didn't know.

We communicated around the clock, but never did I feel like a burden. Justin is extremely patient, responsive, knowledgeable, and an absolute joy and pleasure to work with.
