Carrie Simons
Margaux went above and beyond as our realtor in the buying process. She was unwaveringly patient, helpful, responsive, and honest in guiding us through a 1+ year long search. An attentive and intuitive collaborator, Margaux was able to listen carefully to us as we sorted through our priorities and reactions to seeing various properties and expertly help us refine what we were looking for. We always felt comfortable in her extremely capable hands; besides knowing the Philadelphia market inside and out, she deftly displays the wide range of skills necessary to be a top-quality agent, from the veteran knowledge of the industry to the keen emotional intelligence needed to guide her clients through major life decisions. We are so appreciative of Margaux's help through every step and would recommend her to others without question.
Katherine Crowe
Margaux was delightful to work with and extremely competent. She knows the market inside and out and was very creative with marketing and selling our home during a challenging time in the market. Unlike some prior experiences, I always looked forward to speaking with Margaux and I feel as though I made a friend in the process. Highly recommend!
Clement Pappas
Margaux went above and beyond in every way possible to find us a perfect home. She never rushed us or pushed us if she didn't think it was the right house for us. She made herself available for countless showings (I literally lost count!). When we found houses that we were interested in pursuing, she was assertive with the other agents and kept us informed every step of the way. Most importantly, Margaux did what you wish every doctor, hairdresser, teacher, and staff member at the Apple store would do - she LISTENED. She took the time to thoroughly understand our frustrations, concerns, and challenges in finding a house. If there was a showing that didn't cover everything on our "must-have" list, she made sure to tell us in advance so we could opt out if we wanted to. She came to understand our needs better than we did. In the end, Margaux's resourcefulness is what got us there. She's scrappy! She found us a house that we would have never been able to find on our own. And then she and her well-equipped team did a phenomenal job selling our house - in three days! We are forever grateful to Margaux for the hard work and care that she put into finding us the perfect home.

Testimonials
After dealing with another agent for years, I decided to switch to Mary on the Square, the best decision I could have made. When the condo went up there were two excellent offers and we closed on the second one immediately. Mary took care of everything from staging, to showings, to the legal part of the sale. She is bright, experienced and warm and I could not be happier especially in this price range.
Jay Shinfeld, MD
Mary was outstanding during the entire process. She knows and understands the local real estate market and is well networked. She was also very knowledgeable of and proficient in navigating the paperwork associated with the transaction. Finally, she was very prompt and responsive to all requests. We would highly recommend her services to others seeking real estate in the Rittenhouse neighborhood.
Mark & Kathi Wennell
Our experience with Mary and Margaux was excellent from the first phone call right through the settlement meeting. We were looking for an agent that was professional and savvy, and one that we could trust. We wanted an agent that would provide an honest, fact-based, and realistic recommendation on pricing our home - not an artificially high price to entice us that would do more harm than good to the marketability of our home, but a price that would maximize our return. On-line reviews led us to Mary and Margaux and we're glad we found them. They make a powerful team - knowing how to combine their unique skills in an efficient and complementary way. They are honest and professional - they earned our trust quickly. They are experienced - which means they are confident and composed at the critical times in the selling process. They were open to listening to our ideas on the key selling points of our property and to our desired level of communication. They have a very strong team, with a special call-out to Scott. After seeing Scott conduct an open house for us, it was clear he is also a top-notch agent. Overall, a very solid experience leading to a successful result. We would highly recommend you consider the selling team of Mary and Margaux

We recently sold our Passyunk Square property and couldn't be happier. Kay Pellegrini (McGrath) knows the Philadelphia housing market very well and provided the needed guidance on how to best market the property and establish our accurate price point for a quick sale. When we say quick, offers were in within 24 hours of list, we had multiple offers, and we were sold within 48 hours! She was patient, responsive and detailed oriented. Kay secured all the resources such as photo shoot and web presence, while recommending staging and contractor help to have the property ready to list within our timelines. Kay was there every step of the way taking the lead and guiding us through the process. If you're looking for a real estate professional in Philadelphia - Kay Pellegrini (McGrath) is our recommended choice!

Testimonials
Beth was outstanding in assisting us in finding the right home that we purchased. As she says it is a process and she worked with us throughout the process. We probably were a bit scatterbrained but she never got frustrated with us and our changing criteria and instead flowed with our changes to focus us. highly recommend Beth. A true professional who was responsive all hours of the day
Randie Berman
As first-time home buyers, we were quite daunted with the process and had no idea where to start. Beth helped us with everything from finances, a house versus a condo, and even helped us explore neighborhoods in Philly. At one point in our search, I started to get discouraged that maybe our money wouldn't get us what we wanted. We were at one house that needed a bit of work and was already priced a bit above our comfort zone, but we figured maybe this is just what we'd have to settle for. Beth sat with us for hours and explained to us that this house would be settling. She could tell we were emotionally spent and needed a little break. Beth could have easily just suggested we put an offer in so she could walk away with a nice commission, but instead her interests were in our happiness. After a couple of weeks, Beth sent us a new listing that was just about to hit the market. She got us in to see the place right away and we loved it! We made an offer and the sellers accepted the next day! This whole process has been amazingly positive thanks to Beth's expertise, patience, organization, and responsiveness. Her can-do attitude and her ultimate goal to make sure we found the right home makes Beth really special! We seriously cannot recommend Beth enough. Thanks to her, we have a beautiful new home that is absolutely perfect! Nothing is more heartwarming than knowing that we will be make memories in our new home and that Beth made it all a reality!
Christine Weisshaar & Graham Wabiszewski
I highly recommend Beth. She was incredibly supportive, responsive, flexible and professional. She offered sound advice and was there for us whenever we needed her. Our real estate transaction with Beth and Compass was effective, easy and friendly.

She is extremely reliable, efficient, and treated us with such compassion during this large transition in our lives. We could not recommend her more! Her colleague Sara was also lovely to work with.
Gary & Robin Greenbaum
Nancy is the most impressive real estate agent I've ever worked with. She was extremely thoughtful and strategic in the best way to position the house for sale, while balancing my goals with what she thought the market would deliver. She had a great network of service providers ready to work with us and prepare the house for listing. Once we were under contract, she was instrumental to ensuring the deal closed. We had some unforseen complexities come up in the appraisal/closing process and there's no way we would have gotten this done without Nancy's strong negotiating skills, network of service providers, excellent communication and around the clock work ethic. Thank you Nancy!
Emily Nomeir
Nancy was always available for questions and guided us through the whole home buying experience and even afterward. Would highly recommend this professional.

Really fortunate to have her as our agent and will strongly recommend to people who need help.

I had a wonderful experience. Megan was knowledgeable and always available She guided me thru the whole transaction and would be willing to use her again for sure
Richard Dulisse
I worked with Megan in purchasing a second property. She was recommended to me by a friend who had worked with her in purchasing his home. I connected with Megan right away. We met in person to discuss my needs and what the process would look like. That lead to us getting started...Megan provided home suggestions based on my criteria and took me to see check out properties. I always had many questions about the properties I was interested in and she always did research for me and answered my questions. I put an offer on a house and the process didn't go well due to the intransigence of the seller, but at every step of that crazy road, Megan was working with me on negotiations and then as a result of a non-workable impasse, the termination of the agreement. All along she guided me and was my champion in dealing with the seller and his agent. We moved onto more searches and after seeing many other homes, she helped in finally getting me situated in one. This was also an extensive and what at least to me felt like hardcore negotiations, but Megan was sharp and focused and was able to get me (most) of what I needed. As a Philadelphia native, Megan has great command of the city and its neighborhood and is well connected. I have already recommended her to friends and will feel confident in doing so again in the future.

During the second pandemic winter, thinking in a generalized way about moving, I wandered into an open house at an apartment in Rittenhouse Square. Within one half-hour of conversation with Jeffrey Keller of Compass RE, I knew I had found a realtor who possessed the most valuable quality in the business, the ability to listen with attention. Jeffrey knows every corner of Center City real estate. He never pushes, but allows the client to discover what s/he wants in the way of location, space, and timing. Within three months of that meeting at an open house, I had found a great apartment and sold my 150-year-old rowhouse, under Jeffrey’s aegis. He’s the best.

Testimonials
When my wife, Deborah, and I decided to relocate to Philadelphia we used the open house convention to interview potential buyer agents. When we met Fred Manfred we liked his straight forward communication, market knowledge and enthusiasm for Center City real estate. Fred proved to be everything we anticipated and more. He took the time to thoroughly explain the processes (and costs) of purchasing real estate in Philadelphia. He used spreadsheets to organize market data in a way easy for Deborah and I to quickly become acquainted with local market values. And finally, Fred proved to be an effective negotiator, our appraisal returned almost 5% higher than our purchase price. Since moving into our new home we have referred other friends and colleagues to Fred and who have expressed similar levels of satisfaction. It is with great pleasure that we offer this endorsement of Fred Manfred.
Benito Cachinero
I wanted to finally put into writing what Tom and I have been feeling over the past year or so. Thank you so very much for helping us find our beautiful home in Society Hill. You are truly a gem.
Thank you for keeping our best interests at heart and going above and beyond in representing them. We always felt as though we were your only clients. You were incredibly professional and communicative; always accessible by phone or email and were always willing to show us another property, or six.
Your orchestration of the process and network of professionals in home inspection, repair, escrow, mortgage, etc. made the entire thing seamless. We honestly don’t think we could have done it without you!
Fred, you are a person of excellent character and great integrity; I consider you a dear friend.
Betsy Messina and Thomas Macphee
Fred represented us on both the purchase of our new home and the sale of our old home. We initially met Fred at an open house, and he followed up with us when he learned of a property that he thought would meet our needs. We looked at houses with Fred for more than one year. Fred encouraged us, gently but persistently, to see a house that we thought was not within all of our specifications. When we finally went to see it, it was clear that it was the perfect house for us. The purchase of the house was complicated, involving an estate, multiple heirs, and law firms. Fred was very effective in representing our interests to the sellers' agent and counsel, and kept the process moving even while we were traveling. He was also helpful in negotiating inspection contingencies and time frames. Further, in selling our prior house, Fred worked hard to market the property, hold open houses, and follow up with potential buyers. He also was flexible in attending closing on our behalf, even when closing was delayed multiple times. Fred has a deep knowledge of Philadelphia real estate, and we would recommend him highly to anyone looking to buy or sell here.
Jenna McNeill
Fred has always, in all of my dealings, been extremely professional, efficient, considerate, and helpful. I thank you for all of that, and for being so sensitive to our circumstances.

Emily made my first homebuying experience truly seamless. I was buying a house out of state and was a little nervous about it being difficult, but Emily was truly my eyes and ears on the ground and directed me towards the neighborhood that I settled on, which was a perfect fit.

We were out-of-state buyers, so we needed a lot of support, which Scott provided seamlessly. He answered all our questions in a timely manner. Previewed houses and apartments on our behalf. He was our eyes and ears in Philadelphia.

We worked with Scott on the purchase of our investment property last year during the pandemic. We contacted him again to buy our primary home last month as our experience with the prior purchase was absolutely excellent as a buyer. Since the first moment we met him, we knew he's the one, he's always authentic, well prepared, on time, honest and reliable. Scott is a world-class real estate agent, he helped us win the home we wanted despite competing with multiple offers. Highly recommend Scott to anyone who is looking for a true real estate agent who really cares about helping you find the right place, he's trustworthy, experienced, and very knowledgeable!

We met Scott through an Open House that he was hosting at a different home nearby the one we ended up purchasing. Even though we were not the right buyer for said property, we knew right away that we had found the right agent. Scott then showed us the home we did end up buying and the rest is history! There was an instant connection for us as Scott knew the area so well, has a fabulous eye for design and is so friendly. He helped us see things in our home that we could not have imagined. But with his expertise and guidance, all of the pieces fell into place. Scott was so diligent in the sales process and the rapid communication was paramount to execute this deal smoothly. We can not recommend Scott more, you should work with him if you have the opportunity!!
