We had an amazing experience buying a home with him. Highly recommend!
Once we decided on our property, Stuart's guidance from purchase through post-sale got us quickly to settlement and settling in. Thanks Stuart!
He was extremely knowledgeable and communicative regarding all aspects of purchasing a property and exceeded all of our expectations! He was well versed in all of the neighborhoods we looked at homes in and was full of great recommendations. We couldn’t have asked for a more thoughtful and diligent real estate agent and highly recommend him to everyone!
One of the highlights of working with Stuart was his accessibility. I was always able to reach him within a short time frame so I could jump fast to view a place as soon as it came onto the market. Stuart is very resourceful and has his Berkshire Hathaway team to refer to for any backup guidance needed during the process. He applied zero pressure other than to express urgencies for deadlines which was appreciated. He listens well and I was confident he was accurately conveying my wishes to the selling agent. Once I found the place my husband got involved and found Stuart to be helpful and pleasurable to work with to get us the unit we wanted with our terms. Stuart knows the real estate laws applicable to Philly which we were not familiar with and advised us what our options were for insurance, title, lending etc. giving us pros and cons so we could make our own decision. We got to know Stuart as a friend and would definitely recommend him as a wonderful agent to work with.
He is a very patient person that didn’t get stressed out (even when we were stressed) and I would recommend him. He is also super knowledgeable about Philly architecture!
Over a year-long search, he guided me to appropriate houses and was never overbearing. He was very knowledgeable and always available for questions. When the time came to make an offer, Stuart was exceptional. He was an astute negotiator and got me a significant price reduction. He was also heavily involved and paid close attention to detail in overseeing inspections and obtaining cost estimates for work that needed to be on the house. (Since I was buying from out-of-town, this was crucial.) I can recommend him without hesitation to anyone looking to buy or sell in Philly. He is trustworthy, hardworking and smart, in addition to being a good guy and fun to work with.
His knowledge of Philadelphia’s neighborhoods helped us narrow the areas to concentrate on when we were looking for rental properties. We have now purchased several properties, all with relative ease. Stu seamlessly walked us through everything, since we were unfamiliar with PA’s real estate process. We still visit Philadelphia regularly to view new properties that come on the market. Stu knows exactly what we’re looking for and notifies us when he comes across ones that fit our criteria. And he’s always available to answer any questions. Our experience with him has evolved to the point where it now feels like we’re catching up with a friend when we’re in the area.
He was knowledgeable, helpful, and effective and made the process of buying my first condo seamless! I would not hesitate to work with him.
My husband and I were purchasing a house for the very first time and new almost virtually nothing about the process. Stuart was generous with his time, incredibly informative, and trustworthy. I could not have asked for a better guide and confidant in buying a home.
When I first talked to Stuart, I could tell that he was more than willing to help me navigate the housing market with those constraints! He’s very down to earth and took into account my need to make a careful investment. He got me in touch with a mortgage lender that had awesome grants for people with my qualifications, put me in touch with inspectors along the way, and overall provided wonderful guidance! He was always available to talk through the risks and positives with each aspect of the house, and even after closing, he’s been available when things come up and I need to contact the previous owner. Overall, I highly recommend working with Stuart! He’s passionate about helping people find properties that work for them and is grounded and kind throughout the whole process. I’m super happy with how it all went, so thank you Stuart!

He found me a great property in Center City and made the process seamless with his knowledge of the closing procedures. Highly recommend!
He's also just a nice person and easy to be around. If you want someone who is patient and informative, can be flexible but advocate well for you, I'd highly recommend him. I'll be passing on Stuart's info to my contacts looking to buy homes in Philly!
Throughout the entire process, from viewing to inspections to paperwork to closing, Stuart's guidance and expertise kept us on track. He is extremely detail oriented, he went above and beyond to show us dozens of properties, and his communication with us was excellent and friendly. He'll help you quantify your needs and desires, and think about property ownership in a realistic way. You won't feel any 'sales' vibes or pressure. Stuart genuinely wants to get you into the the house you want and can afford. As first time homeowners, he was our guide through the Philadelphia market and we absolutely love our property. If you are a down-to-earth person and are truly ready to dive into the process (which does contain a lot of paperwork, communication, and viewings), GO WITH STUART.
Great response to questions. Interesting to be around in general with historical knowledge informing our choice of neighborhood. He also asks interesting and relevant questions prompting thoughtful decisions. Good vibes!
He helped me find a new place to relocate from out of town, keeping in mind all my specifications. He knew the area extremely well, and the nuances of each neighborhood. He picked me up at the train station and had appointments organized and back to back. It was extremely efficient. He was also very nice and patient. He did not try to “upsell” me at any time. I would definitely use him again and highly recommend him!

Professional from start to finish, that led to a successful purchase. I’m truly appreciative of the work that you’ve done. Thank you so much Stuart!!
I work with many Realtors each week, and he is by far the most responsive, reliable, and, most importantly, the most knowledgeable in our area. Whether you're looking to buy, sell, rent, or simply gather information about the market, Stuart is the one to turn to. Thanks again, Stuart!
Over the past 2 years, Stuart has shown an enormous amount of support throughout our journey and has been patient with no signs of frustration or pressuring us into a home due to our time spent together. Stuart’s market knowledge, personality and guidance kept us sane throughout our home buying journey. A process that is very complicated was simplified having Stuart by our side. After 2 years, we secured our home and bought it for under market value with his negotiation strategies. I am grateful for having Stuart as our Realtor in our journey, Stuart is one of a kind and is someone who is looking for the best interest of his clients and is very helpful and responsive. I will recommend him to any of my friends and family who want to buy properties in PA. Thank you for everything Stuart! You rock!
