"The Waterkotte Group represented us on the sale of our home and we could not have been more grateful for their expertise. Joelle was incredible every step of the way, guiding us through a complicated, unfamiliar process. We ended up getting 10 offers and sold for more than 20% over ask. If youā€™re selling your home (Iā€™m sure buying as well!) I wouldnā€™t recommend anyone else!" - Eden R.

"Recently we sold our home. Peter and Joelle Waterkotte were the listing agents. We were so pleased with their enthusiasm, creativity and professionalism. Our house sold in 2 weeks! It had been on the market for 8 months during the height of the real estate market with little results. When they got the listing we had 6 offers within two weeks and the eventual buyers were perfect for our very unique 18th century style home. We would highly recommend Peter and Joelle if you are considering hiring an agent to represent you." - Tammy V.

"Being represented by The Waterkotte Group felt like we were being represented by family. During every step of the home-buying process, we felt valued and cared for. Pete went above and beyond our expectations to make sure we had ended up with the home we were looking for. We are so grateful for The Waterkotte Group." - AJ S.

"Iā€™m the guy who seldom leaves a review. The experience has to be either really bad or absolutely outstanding for me to take the time. Iā€™m leaving this review so others know what I do ā€“ that Joelle and Peter Waterkotte are exceptional in every way. They helped my wife and me find a great home in a very challenging market. Joelle and Pete have deep knowledge. Plenty of practical experience. They are patient, accessible, and just great to work with. Plus, they work together seamlessly so you benefit from a true team approach. Choose to work with the Waterkottes and youā€™ll find your decision to be among the best you have ever made." - Steve D.

"Joelle is the best- bar none! Professional, kind and super knowledgeable of the housing market. She sold our house extremely fast and for way above list price. I would recommend her to anyone in the Kennett Square area. She is a beautiful person. You can be totally confident the whole time when listing your home with her. Itā€™s an amazing feeling at what can be a very stressful time." - Lisa N.
