Carla Brandoff

★★★★★
“I could not recommend Carla more highly enough! I first heard about Carla through a friend who was looking to rent a place in Philly and Carla was very responsive and helpful to her even though my friend didn’t end up renting a place from Carla. A year before I officially engaged Carla to help me sell my house, she was already so helpful and went above and beyond to help me navigate a very challenging tenant situation. It was the most stressful experience I ever encountered but thanks to Carla’s practical help and encouragement I knew there is a light at the end of the tunnel. After many months of a painful legal process, I finally got possession of my house and can proceed with the house renovation and sale. Carla was instrumental during this part of the process; she connected me with her trusted contractors to renovate the house and put it on the market as soon as possible. I am so grateful for Carla’s support and couldn’t have made it without her. She is reliable, trustworthy, and caring. Despite a difficult experience, I’m so glad to know and work with Carla, who is more like an older sister than a realtor to me. I have no doubt Carla is one of the very few best realtors who genuinely care about and want to help people."“ - Xiao W.

“Anyone who has coordinated an out of state move knows that your realtor is make or break. That being said, I cannot share enough wonderful things about this experience with Carla. She was FANTASTIC. She helped me narrow down neighborhoods virtually, coordinated a marathon touring session over a 30 hour visit to the city, answered every random text promptly, made so many personalized recommendations, and ultimately helped us find the perfect neighborhood and the perfect home, while making us laugh along the way. She made the entire process so simple, and getting to see Philly through her eyes only makes me more excited for my move.“ - Sabrina P

"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.

"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.“

★★★★★

"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 accommodating, flexible and really easy to get in touch with. She was super responsive and made time for viewings sometimes the next day but always within a day or two. She helped explain the whole process to me and reassured me along the way, always took time to calm my nerves and make sure I knew what was going on and what I had to deal with. I highly recommend her, she will help you through the entire process and make sure you get connected with the right people for mortgage and financial advice too."

★★★★★
"Carla is the absolute best! She's super knowledgeable about Philly, particularly for people moving into the area. When I moved here from out of state, I had just one weekend to find a place and had already set up to tour a few places with another listing agent the first day I arrived. The guy really could not care less about whether or not I found a place and I was extremely stressed. A friend of a friend recommended Carla and as soon as I got on the phone with her I was immediately at ease. The experience of finding an apartment to rent with her was a 180 degree change from the first agent I talked to. I've recommended her to several friends since moving and everyone raves about the experience they've had with her compared to other agents. For me, it wasn't just finding a place to rent, it was finding a home away from home in a new state. Carla helped me find that. She is extremely communicative, hands-on, and just all around pleasant to interact with. She helped me again this year as I navigated moving in with a partner for the first time and I'm really grateful to have had her expertise in the process."- Kelly W

“My experience working with Carla was excellent. As they say in the world of the theatre, "no notes" (meaning perfection). I'd recommend her to any / all people interested in buying or selling a house in the Philadelphia area."“ - Matt B.
