Mara Elliot

"Mara oh Mara, what can we say about Mara? Patient, trustworthy, organized, punctual, and emotionally intelligent she embodies all of these superlatives. We moved from out of state and as one can imagine it was quite daunting. Mara from the beginning asked all of the right questions to better understand what we wanted as a couple and what each of us wanted individually. Armed with this information Mara systematically narrowed down different areas in the Philadelphia region that she thought we might like. She then set up a whirlwind weekend where we were able to see over 20 houses. Mara kept us on schedule and continuously took notes on what we did and did not like. When it came to making a decision, Mara was extremely supportive as we ping-ponged thoughts off of her. Mara handled our flood of emotions throughout this process like a pro and she really has become a friend. We cannot recommend Mara enough; it was truly an absolute delight working with her. -Brandon & Brittany”

"We had a great experience working with Mara and her expertise was beneficial in this crazy market. We were totally lucky to have her by our side. She was always available when we needed to view a home. Her knowledge and responsiveness helped us find the perfect house. Mara also made the purchase of our new home while selling our current home a seamless transition. She was always there to answer even the most minute questions. As first time home sellers we were unsure of the process and she was there step by step to provide guidance or advice when issues arose. Throughout it all she provided a calm and reassuring presence and we couldn't have done it without her. I would recommend her to anyone. -Kary & John"

Working with Mara was the best decision! We searched for a house for almost 2 years and worked with multiple agents before connecting with Mara. Mara absolutely went above and beyond to find us the perfect home! She really listened and understood what we were looking for. We were very specific on location and layout and Mara made sure not to waste our time with houses that wouldn’t work for us. By the end, she knew what we wanted even more than we did! Mara was always on top of finding new listings, made sure we got in for showings early and at times that were convenient for us, and was available day and night to answer our questions. When we found a house we loved, Mara worked her magic - advised us appropriately, made the right relationships, and even got two open houses shut down for us because she was so persistent! She guided us through to closing and as first time home buyers, we were very grateful for her support. We trusted Mara throughout this whole process and could not have found our home without her. We HIGHLY recommend Mara- she will find you your dream home! -Amanda & Dan”

" Mara is the best! She helped us lock down the house that we were in love with in Devon, even after an open house that had over 50 other prospects showing high interest. We would not have been able to do it without her! She is really passionate about her job, she is super knowledgeable, she understood exactly what we were looking for, and she spent so much of her time going to look at houses for us (we were living in California and could not see the houses in person). I was very new to this process and Mara was very kind to answer ALL of my questions in detail, and she made this process a lot less stressful than it probably tends to be. Thank you Mara, we appreciate you so much!! -Taylor & Landon"

" My wife and I recently engaged Mara Elliot to handle the sale of our condo in Fitler Square and the purchase of a rowhouse in Queen Village. We hoped our realtor would possess three qualities that would make our sell/buy a success. She had to understand nuance and the market as Center City is different from surrounding towns. She would have to be organized and help us deal with a sense of strategic urgency. She would have to keep us calm. And she had to be facile at media and know how to maximize our success while acting honestly and fair. Mara hit the ball out of the park. Mara sold our condo at a fair price and made sure all parties felt they got a good deal. She organized everything from the furniture staging and photos to inspections and closing. We never felt rushed, but Mara was always on the job working on our behalf and keeping us focused. On the buy side of the equation, we could not be happier in our rowhouse - purchased at a price right in our budget. Mara is a mature listener and her sense of design and style was right on the mark. Working with Mara was not only a successful experience but a real pleasure too."
