In 2004, Beverly Banks work as my Realtor when I decided to buy my first house. I was

very nervous but she made excellent recommendations on different geographic areas,

types of homes, etc. without ever being pushy. She guided me in the decision making

process, helping to deal with my fears and apprehensions about taking such a big step.

I finally decided on my current home, that I love, and have been happy with my

decision for over 4 years. I look to the future, when I will need a change and couldn't

imagine doing it without Beverly.”

“I've known Beverly as a student and as a realtor. I was impressed with her hard

work in both situations -- especially when she was able to come up with creative

solutions for selling a house during a difficult time in the market! When everyone

finally came to the closing, the buyers and I all felt we were making a great deal. If I

am ever in the Philadelphia real estate market again, I would certainly work with

her.”

"We began the process of finding a realtor to sell our home by doing

an extensive internet search of all local real estate offices and each of

their agents.

One agent, Jeanne Feenick, stood out from the rest. As others have

attested, her web page is exceptional – it actually contains more

pertinent data than the web page of several real estate agencies we

visited.

We met with Jeanne on a Sunday and by the following Friday we had a

signed contract on our home for 99% of asking price.

We can’t say enough kind words about Jeanne – she is simply the

best!"

Posting Open Houses & Listings Posting Open Houses & Listings Works!Works!

• As a result of posting the listing, we had a total of 10 groups come into our open house.

• I always ask guests how they heard about the open house. One couple said they saw it on Trulia.com.

• At the time, they were just beginning their home search so we set an appointment for a buyer consultation.

We are working with them now. They are also trying to take advantage of the first time homebuyer tax credit!
