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.

Your realtor better have an arsenal packed with experience, knowledge, contacts, and great communication skills to navigate the choppy waters. The Capri Dessecker Team certainly did.

Whitney didn't miss a beat either.  Keeping us apprised of all updated information and setting expectations. Expect stellar service from this extraordinary team. They will not disappoint.

First and foremost, they are actually easy to communicate with - even when they are not in the office they are responsive. Any issue I've ever had, they have responded promptly, and if it couldn't be fixed right away, they provided continuous updates with a practical game plan. This just doesn't happen everywhere. Now as far as my actual apartment goes...there is no place I have ever lived, including my childhood home, that has ever felt like home. THIS apartment is my home. It's clean, spacious, warm, and my neighbors are very friendly. I have never had an issue with rodents (which is amazing for the city), nor have I had an issue with noise. And my rent...the value is amazing. I have such a great apartment for such a fair price. There is no way you're getting my apartment at this price anywhere else in the city. West Philly is in a great state of transition now, and I know many folks are upset at what appears to be uncontrolled gentrification. To me, I think The Spak Group is building great homes for EVERYONE in West Philly. My neighbors truly do reflect the diversity of the neighborhood, which I greatly appreciate AND respect being a person of color myself. I hope they continue to grow and expand throughout the city. I plan on renting for them for years to come. These guys are actually doing it right.

Bibe came highly recommended by family. We're extremely happy and satisfied with the service she…read moreprovided us. Within four months, we managed to find our home. It checked off most of the boxes on our criteria and most importantly staying in reason of our price range. We genuinely appreciate her honest and straightforward feedback. As a family of four eager to buy our first home, we were fortunate to have Bibe as our real estate agent. She was available via phone or text and promptly responded to our inquiries. Bibe generously shared her expertise and guided us through the entire process, patiently explaining each step. In this fast-paced market, her promptness was crucial, as she provided us with the necessary documentation to submit our offers. As a first-time homebuyer, we couldn't have asked for a smoother experience especially in the days leading to settlement. Bibe ensured everything was in order and walked us through each step, significantly reducing our anxiety. We highly recommend Bibe to anyone looking to buy a home. We would definitely reach out to her again for any future purchases.

I bought a home that Lauren Acker was the seller's agent and she had poor ethics & lacked…read moreintegrity. She tried to screw us (the buyers) over by lying about another offer being higher than ours just to get our escalation price. When we asked for proof per legally stated as a condition in our contract, she lied that she would send it over, but never did. She then intentionally ignored us when we followed up with her, which caused us to rescind it. She suddenly contacted us 3 weeks later when the original buyer's financing "fell through," which was most likely due to the home not appraising at the purchasing price. We accepted it since we just started our home search and liked the neighborhood. Everything went quite smoothly until she and her lazy team did not pick up their Lockbox & large For Sale sign still staked in my front lawn weeks after closing despite us reminding them. She did not apologize for that and sent a passive aggressive email to my agent when I sent a final reminder. Someone in her team eventually showed up with no advance notice nor apology whatsoever and knocked on my door early in the morning when I was at work. My contractors were fortunately there that day to answer the door. My final bad experience with her was when we asked if she can reach out to the sellers about something important and she completely ignored us. We have all the emails as proof of her unethical behaviors and horrible communication. This woman is so unprofessional and I don't recommend dealing with her if she's the other party's agent!

We couldn't have asked for a better realtor than Caitlin to help with my daughter's move to Philly…read more Even though we ultimately found an apartment that wasn't one of her own listings, she had already gone well beyond the typical scope of the job -- for every place she showed us, she took the time to research the surrounding neighborhood so we could tell whether it was a safe, good fit for my daughter to live. Moving to a new city with no real local knowledge is stressful, and we only had a few secondhand suggestions from friends to go on. She filled that gap for every option she recommended, giving us honest, specific feedback about the different neighborhoods so we could make an informed decision instead of just guessing. If you're relocating to Philly and want someone who treats your move like it's personal, she's who you want in your corner.

We sold our house almost 2,000 miles away without a hiccup. The very best quality is her constant communication and client advocacy. There were times when me and my husband would just be mulling over some concerns and like a psychic our phones would ring and she would be calling to check on us. We were selling our home, but I am very sure she would be amazing representing buyers as well. Dealing with our agent now, I can say that we value her even more as our current rep does the bare minimum.

I wasn't always sure how urgent something was and Kristin really supported me to know when we had to show up at a house immediately, or when it was okay to find a time that worked for my schedule. Kristin also looked out for my best interests and talked me out of some houses that weren't going to be good fits and helped me understand why. She takes a really personal approach and really took time to understand my needs and interests and what I was going for, even as that changed. Once we were in the offer stage, I was so grateful to Kristin. She was very high touch and proactive with all the parties, communicating very thoroughly what was happening when and making sure everyone was on top of the steps. She also is networked to a lot of really high quality people and I was really grateful for the lender and inspector she connected me to. The day before I moved into my new house I had an issue with the house and Kristin took my frantic call, walked me through what to do and who to call, and got me connected to some incredible contractors who helped me resolve the issue. Kristin also connected me to some very capable, responsible, fair-priced contractors who did some amazing upgrades to the space. I'm incredibly happy with my home and I highly recommend working with Kristin for a very personalized, high-touch, thoroughly supportive experience!

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.

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!
