My husband and I worked with Brendan to buy and sell our homes in late Summer/Fall 2020. Brendan knew we were interested in selling and informed us on the best time due to market conditions. With his marketing, professional photos and ability to drum up interest in a market with very low inventory, he got us 6 offers on our home in Wayne over a long weekend. All offers were at or above asking price and we agreed to one $30k over! During the selling process, Brendan helped and coached us through buying in this market. He showed us know to position our offers to make them attractive amongst so many others. We ultimately landed on new construction and absolutely love our new home. We highly recommend Brendan and will certainly be using him and the Crescent Team for any future real estate needs. Thank you, Crescent!!

Brendan was incredibly helpful to us in our homebuying process. We started the process while in Seattle, before we moved across the country to Philadelphia. Brendan helped us virtually tour houses, provided great advice and was very responsive. He had a ton of knowledge about the neighborhoods we were looking at which helped us narrow down where we wanted to live. Once we found a house and had an offer accepted, Brendan did a great job of negotiating with the sellers and helping us through the home inspection and closing process. I'd recommend him to anyone looking to buy in the Philadelphia area.

Brendan did an outstanding job as our realtor. As first-time home buyers in a challenging market, we greatly appreciated Brendan's expertise, along with his thoughtful and personalized approach. We could not recommend Brendan more highly. We feel fortunate to have had him as our realtor and would certainly reach out to him in the future for any realtor needs.

Brendan was the ideal partner to help us with our real estate search! Beyond being proactive in market targeting, he was extremely responsive to our questions through the entire search to contract to close process. Brendan brings great insight to market value of properties, as well as a clear view on quality/risks of the property given his professional background. We will not hesitate to use Brendan and would strongly recommend him for your buying or selling needs.

Brendan is our trusted, long-term realtor. He helped us 5 years ago with a personal transaction and now this year with a rental investment transaction. Brendan was able to walk us through the process by providing clear guidance on optimal rental property location, comps, and expected monthly cash flow. In addition, he advised on key steps required to capture a renter in short time including suggested property upgrades, rental procedures and best practices. Overall, he didn't just take us through the purchase process alone; instead he offered his experience and expertise to ensure we were set up for quick success. This has been our consistent experience with Brendan.

Even in a normal housing market you want the best realtor that you can find. Mix in COVID-19 and an extremely tight housing market on top of the normal complexities of buying a house and good realtor is worth their weight in gold. Brendan of Crescent Real Estate is just the kind of professional you want working with you. During the lockdown Brendan kept in touch even though there wasn’t much to see but plenty to keep track of. He took the opportunity to stay abreast of the housing market and what was still happening and monitored a constantly changing situation. When the market started back up again Brendan didn’t miss a beat and was on top of the changing situation as well as the rules regarding the showings. Reviewing the houses was where his expertise and experience was a tremendous asset. He was able to identify meaningful issues with a house’s condition and provide guidance on the scale and scope of the issue so that we could decide whether it was something we were wiling to live with given the other merits of a given property. In a tight seller’s market having this information was critical in allowing us to make informed and quick judgements about whether we wanted to continue the process for a particular house. In a number of cases I am certain Brendan saved us from biting off more than we were bargaining for. During the negotiation Brenadan was able to offer us a great feel for the market as well as good guidance on what was reasonable to ask for. When we lost our first offer he was able to provide insight as to what we could do differently in the future, which in our case wasn’t much given the high demand in our area. Yes the seller’s agent pays the buyer’s representative. Brendan was thoroughly professional in this regard and never left us in any doubt he had our best interests in mind during every stage of the process. He was also mindful not to make his opinions ours but provided us with fact of the matter information to allow us to make our own choices. Patient and responsive he was always mindful of our time as well. The house we bought needed some work before we could move in and given the Covid situation we wanted to get the work done quickly. Brendan was able to recommend several contractors that we have had a great experience with. Even after the sale had closed he followed up to see if there was anything that we needed. The highest praise I can give anyone is that they are thoroughly professional and one can tell that Brendan loves what he does. Every realtor should be like Brendan but I am certain he is exceptional.

Brendan was a pleasure to work with both on the sale of our previous home and purchase of our new one. He was easy to talk to and had an excellent understanding of the area. Despite COVID, we sold our home for full ask and also got a great deal on our new one. We couldn’t recommend Brendan more highly!

Review for Member: Chad Kimerer
Chad was our realtor with both purchasing a new home and selling our existing home. When we decided to start looking for a new home, we hired Chad Kimerer from Crescent Realty. We heard positive feedback about Crescent and after meeting with Chad we were impressed by his knowledge of the industry, professionalism and energy. Throughout our home search Chad was very patient with us. Not once did he pressure us into buying. He gave us valuable information each time we looked at a home. When we did finally purchase a home he was with us through the entire process. Chad also did an outstanding job selling our home. He did a thorough analysis and gave us valuable advice. He sold our home within a week and over the asking price. Just like he did when we purchased a home, he was with us through the entire process of the sale, made himself available when we had questions or needed information, and displayed integrity at all times. Kudos to you Chad for an excellent job you did for us!

Brendan was an excellent realtor to work with during our first home buying experience. Brendan met with us upfront to learn about what we are looking for in a neighborhood and a home. During this meeting Brendan gave us a good overview of the current real estate market, towns, and school districts. The information was very helpful to us in narrowing down our search parameters as we were not overly familiar with the area. Brendan also told us about common issues that come up during the process like the fact that the area has higher levels of radon and that it is common for home inspections to identify that issue for remediation. That information was great to know so when the home we did purchase had radon as an issue on the inspection we were not surprised and felt comfortable with how it was resolved. The upfront coaching was excellent and made us feel comfortable during the process. Brendan was also very willing to meet us at all different times to see homes. Brendan always made himself available to see a house even doing a tour via FaceTime when we were out of town and a house we wanted to see came on the market. That wound up being the house we purchased so seeing it so quickly via FaceTime made everything much easier. Brendan was also very engaged and response during the negotiation phase of the home buying process. Brendan gave sound advice and coached us through how to approach each situation. We never felt rushed or pressured at all to make a decision. Brendan made what could have been a stressful experience very enjoyable and rewarding. Brendan was a fantastic real estate agent who we would highly recommend to any buyer.

We worked with Brendan during late 2018 and through fall 2019. During this time Brendan was our realtor first as a buyers agent and then as a sellers agent. Brendan is very knowledgeable about the Main Line area and approaches his work with a lot of professionalism. He was there to guide us every step of the way starting with an understanding of our needs and shortlisting houses for us to see during the purchase phase. He has excellent contacts in the industry and was able to guide us many times whether it was to hire a home inspector or to just answer our questions about house construction and pros and cons. During the sale phase he presented us with sales data and helped us arrive at a sale price and suggested staging services that helped us sell our property in less than a month. What sets Brendan apart is his excellent knowledge of the real estate business and residential construction which was very useful during our search and in our decision making. He is very responsive, trust-worthy and straightforward in his dealings and we would recommend him 100%.
