★★★★★
"Recently we sold our home. Peter and Joelle Waterkotte were the listing agent’s. 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.

★★★★★
"I wish I could give more than 5 stars. Joelle, Pete, and the whole team at The Waterkotte Group were incredible. We must have toured over 30 homes in both Pennsylvania and Delaware and they were very patient with us until we found the home of our dreams. We could not be more happy with our time working with The Waterkotte Group. Your search for a local realtor ends here!"- Michelle K.

★★★★★
"After selling our first home, I can honestly say The Waterkotte Group are absolutely amazing! They are there every step of the way to guide you and answer any questions. They truly want to help you have the most successful/least stressful experience in selling your home. Not only that, but they are the kind of people you can feel comfortable and have a laugh with—they made us feel like family." - Sean H.

"I would highly recommend anyone on the Waterkotte team. I have been able to work with Peter and Joelle on a professional level, and when I list my home they will be the real estate agents that I go to. The Waterkotte team treats the sale of a 100,000 home the same as they would treat the sale of a million dollar home. They know how to get a home staged, get amazing pictures, and they know how to market a home so that it can get the best price in whatever market it is in.
I wanted to edit, as in May 2023, I also just worked with them to buy my first home with my husband and will be working with them to sell our home. They have held my hand the entire way, even when I was completely panicked, and I am so grateful I had their team to help us through this process, and to continue to help in selling out home. They are truly a great team of agents and have a great team as well to help with anything you might need done for your home. I Highly, highly, recommend them to anyone.

"I’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. I’m leaving this review so others know what I do – 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 you’ll find your decision to be among the best you have ever made." - Steve D.
