Testimonials

“Ame was absolutely outstanding and she exceeded all our expectations. Pre-market, she provided excellent guidance regarding the steps we had to take to get the most out of our property and she did this with bottom line costs in mind. She even put us in touch with reliable, skilled and value conscious contactors. However, that was nothing compared to her … tireless effort and highly effective property marketing throughout the process. Despite increasing interest rate hikes, Ame's experience and skill prevailed and she was able to obtain multiple offers and sell our property in 25 days.” Read More ▾

“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.” Read 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!” Read More ▾

“We interviewed three realtors in Center City Philadelphia that were all experienced, highly recommended and familiar with the local Center City market. Melissa actually recommended the highest list price with the least amount of up front work based on the local market conditions. We were suspicious that she might be encouraging a high list price to gain the listing, but … she seemed very knowledgeable about Center City conditions and her marketing plan was very sound. Our open house was a resounding success, and we received four offers within 48 hours of listing on the MLS; our home ultimately sold over the asking price. Throughout the process, Melissa was responsive and professional. I'll also mention that she's just an incredibly nice person! We couldn't be happier with our experience, and highly recommend Melissa.” Read More ▾
