Client Testimonials

“Karen was super... Helped us resettle in Philly when we decided to relocate to be near our daughter. She knew every area, all the local gossip, etc, and helped us not make a big mistake by tipping us off that … a nice bldg we were looking at might have its view obstructed by a high rise across the street in negotiation for the land. (AND IT CAME TO PASS A YEAR LATER!). We thought we knew what we wanted but after a few showings, Karen knew what we really needed and directed us to something, not on our radar where we eventually settled. A few hiccups with of course a difficult seller but Karen ran all the interference for us and probably saved us a substantial amount of money. I was also impressed by how organized she was. We were not local to Philly and traveled there several times for showings... She invested the time to prep and had showing orchestrated by the hour with no downtime. Could not give a higher endorsement.” Show More

“Purchasing a home during the pandemic was not an easy task. My stresses were high, as I was a first-time buyer and felt very new to the process. Karen was very professional as well as personal. She was extremely quick … to respond to my questions and concerns along the way. She negotiated and worked hard to make sure things like repairs were fair. Karen is amazing and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to purchase a home.” Show More

“Melissa is a gem. She managed the purchase of my beautiful Center City condo, and was there to creatively and aggressively market its sale during a challenging COVID market. What separates Melissa from the pack is her genuine love for … Philadelphia: She lives here, works here, and is well connected here. She listens. With Melissa, you always feel like you're her most important client. In 2 words: graceful and competent. I can't recommend Melissa enough.” Show More

“We really lucked out when a friend recommended Melissa Valenti as a top realtor in center city Philadelphia, where we were looking to buy a condo. Melissa is… extremely professional, amazingly knowledgeable, reliable, and totally delightful. We faced two hurdles: … Covid 19 and a very specific limited market. Through her personal contacts and relationships, as well as her in-depth knowledge of the market, Melissa found not only our dream abode in the sky at the perfect location for us, but also a condo that was still off market. Imagine being spared of the stress to have to compete with multiple bids in a very tough sellers market! Melissa's creative skills at guiding the process through a pandemics were invaluable for both us and the sellers. Within a few hours of the approval of the state authorities to resume property visitation, Melissa had secured a visit of the condo, while assuring a COVID protocol for everybody's safety. Moreover, she is a limitless source of information on everything connected with housing, from painters, plumbers, to handymen or carpets, refrigerators, or washing machines... She understands your taste and your needs. As an older couple , who had not bought real estate in over 30 years, Melissa was the answer to our prayers. She made the process easy, smooth, confortable, and yes, even pleasant. We felt that we were in good, steady, and caring hands from start to finish. We really lucked out! Thank you, thank you, Melissa!” Show More

“My husband and I can't say enough amazing things about working with Melissa. As first time home buyers, we had no idea what we were doing or what to expect.… Melissa earned our trust immediately with her honesty and deep … knowledge of the Philadelphia real estate market. Her savvy negotiating skills and willingness to go above and beyond (answering our late night texts and phone calls) made the process feel a lot less daunting and resulted in us finding our new home. If you're looking for someone to work with to find a house in Philadelphia, I highly recommend working with Melissa.” Show More

“Ame has helped me purchase, sell, and rent property in Philadelphia. I have known her for over five years and highly recommend her. She understands the market in Philly very well and also takes the time to understand her clients' … needs. She works very hard to facilitate showings according to clients' schedules, does not mind driving people around to see numerous properties, and is available constantly to assist with all parts of the home buying and selling process. She is patient, never pushy, gives honest advice, and works well with her clients' timelines whether they are rushing to find a home or casually looking for an investment. She has gone above and beyond to help us, and has a wide network of contacts among other realtors, property managers, mortgage companies, handymen, contractors, etc. which she uses on behalf of her clients. I highly recommend Ame to anyone looking to buy or sell property in the Philadelphia area!” Show More
