"Carla made my first rental experience so much easier and far less stressful. She helped me prepare months in advance, offering super helpful financial advice and insight into the Philly rental market. I’d recommend her to anyone looking to rent or buy in the Philadelphia area!"

"Carla did an outstanding job helping me rent an apartment. As a non-resident, the process was a bit challenging, but she was incredibly helpful and supportive throughout. We stayed in contact even before I arrived in the United States, and she patiently explained the details and nuances of the rental market in Philadelphia and created the wish list. Our one day of back-to-back apartment tours was not only productive but also enjoyable. Carla eagerly helped speed up the application process and guided me every step of the way. I couldn't be happier with the apartment I found in Philly. She is very responsive, professional, and adaptable to individual needs. I truly value her dedication and highly recommend her services. Carla is the best!"

From the very beginning, she took the time to truly listen to our needs and wants, and she crafted a personalized portfolio of options that perfectly reflected what we were looking for.

"I worked with Carla to find a new apartment after my building was sold. She reached out in response to an email, but when that apt didn’t work she set up time for us to see apartments, offering her opinion and guidance when I would ask/if something didn’t feel right, and helped me find my new apartment. She made the process easy and guided me through it all."
★★★★★
"Carla was of great help when searching for a new apartment to rent. The process is very well done. You give her all the criteria, she uploads all apartments that match, you favorite the ones you are interested in, and she creates an itinerary to tour all of them. It is very fast and efficient. The whole thing, from talking with Carla to signing a lease took two weeks! We met through Philaqueens group on facebook. Would recommend."

“Carla was super helpful in finding a beautiful new apartment! She was very responsive and went to showings for me when I couldn’t be there. That was a huge help as someone who needed to find an apartment while working in another city. She gave me honest opinions about the units I was looking at which I really appreciated. I would recommend her to anyone looking to move to Philly!“
★★★★★
“Carla did a wonderful job helping me and my partner find a rental unit this past fall. We lived several hundred miles away in another state and were moving to the city with somewhat limited knowledge about the neighborhoods and amenities. She scheduled my viewings to all be on the same day and helped me understand the relative benefits/drawbacks associated with each home. We love where we are living now and we are so grateful to Carla for helping us find it. She was a wonderful supporter/advisor to us throughout the process of finding a home and moving up, and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a home in the Philadelphia area.“
★★★★★

"I worked with Carla Brandoff and I cannot say enough things to convey how amazing she was throughout this entire process. I relocated from out of state and was unavailable to do any in-person tours, so she would go in my place.

"Realtor Carla Brandoff helped us find the perfect one-bedroom apartment for our daughter, who is studying in Philadelphia. Our priorities were finding a place that was safe, accessible to her program, and affordable. After showing us over a dozen units one morning, we had a good idea of what we wanted and what we didn’t want. We settled on one apartment and then Carla and her team went to work on drafting the lease, sending it to us for review and revision, and then finally signing it. All of this took place between one stifling hot Thursday in July 2023 to the Sunday. Very satisfied with Carla and would be very happy to recommend her as an realtor to others."

"Carla has been absolutely the best agent we could have asked for. My daughter was a 'First Time Buyer' and I live 1000 miles away. Carla stepped in, explained all of the intricacies of a Sales Agreement, Down Payment, mortgage application, credit, everything!

"Carla Brandoff was my buyers agent for my first home and she was fantastic. I used a lot of grants from the city, which made closing complicated. Carla is a great advocate and was very helpful during this process because she was so organized. We worked with five different programs so there were many moving parts but we succeeded in fulfilling all of the grant requirements, which made my house significantly more affordable. Because of my price range, I was looking at mostly fixer-uppers, which made the search a little harrowing sometimes. One time we walked into a house with significant damage, went to turn on the entry way light and it exploded- so Carla was a really great sport haha. She helped me figure out what was too difficult of a project and what just needed a little elbow grease. I'm not a Philly native so it was important to work with a buyers agent who knew the neighborhood and was able to give good advice on location. Carla helped me pick out my ideal first home on a good, friendly block in West Philly. I would recommend Carla to anyone looking at buying or renting a home!"
Carla was born and raised in Brooklyn, NY and came to the City of Brotherly Love in 2010 where she fell in love with the Fishtown area, which due to its Brooklyn-but-even-better vibe (ask me why), just felt like home.
Carla’s first foray into Philadelphia real estate ownership came with the purchase of 2 investment properties, twin historical trinity homes that needed complete renovations on an unassuming block in the heart of Fishtown in 2012. Shortly after, Carla moved onto a commercial investment, now the sight of the bustling and soon to be expanding Ramona Susan’s Bakeshop. Due to her experience with both renovation work and dealing with the city of Philadelphia Municipal Departments, Carla is a wealth of knowledge and resources for her clients.
Prior to moving to Philadelphia full time in 2019, Carla worked as an institutional equity trader for Wells Fargo in NYC, a career that spanned 20 years. Working on a stock trading desk is the ultimate proving ground for skills such as: sales, negotiations and financial know how. Carla has taken these skills and parlayed them into her real estate career, where she represents everyone from first time buyers to experienced real estate investors to renters just dipping their toe into the world of Philadelphia. Being an experienced homeowner and investor herself gives her a unique edge in the world of real estate, in addition to her deep understanding of all financial products from her time at Wells Fargo.
Carla lives with her family in the University City neighborhood of Spruce Hill and enjoys spending time with family, gardening, walking shelter dogs, promoting Philadelphia’s public schools, house design and running outside (Rocky Run anyone?). Carla is committed to leveling up our community, creating a life of fun and abundance and bringing people with her.
