“Holly Reynolds is top tier. From my cold call to her outside a house with a sign to the farewell after our purchase closed and even beyond, Holly exuded joy, energy, kindness, helpfulness and a high degree of communication and effectiveness. I'd recommend her to the president. Thanks Holly. Thanks SivelGroup.”

Siobhan helped us find the perfect place in Philly. When we couldn't be there for the home inspection, she stepped in. Siobhan is professional, heads off problems so they don't happen, and has an easy going demeanor. I highly recommend working with Siobhan for your buying and selling needs.

Jennifer Rinella and Michael Sivel of Chestnut Hill Berkshire Hathaway are a superb team who compliment one another well. With knowledge and experience in a wide range of real estate markets, they helped us explore and consider well suited areas we did not know existed. They communicated well and negotiated a reduction in sale price after our inspection uncovered some problems. From the search process to closing, Jen and Michael helped us maneuver this very unpredictable time in real estate sales.

Jenn and the Sivel team did an outstanding job, the negotiating advise I got from them was why I was able to get the house. I highly recommend, very professional and experienced.

We’ve worked with Jennifer and her team on a couple of ocassions - both buying and selling - and she is everything you could want in a realtor. She’s knowledgeable, fair, extremely patient and communicates all the way along the process whilst providing too advice when needed. I can’t recommend her highly enough!

From the very beginning, our work with Jennifer and the Sivel Group was extraordinary. Through Suburban Jungle, we were connected to do town tours with Jennifer who honed in quickly on our priorities (new construction, reasonable commute, excellent schools). After a couple of house visits, my husband was able to house search without me and the range of homes kept getting us closer to our ideal relocation. Trust is so important when you are doing an out of state move. We never felt like we wasted time or were misunderstood. Our experience with this company is that their patience is exceptional and they will be forthright in all interactions. With little knowledge of how to navigate the process ourselves, I believe we asked thousands of questions in total. Their responsiveness worked around our busy schedules and helped us keep moving during a competitive market. We are now settled and beyond happy for the care we received. If we ever move again (please, no!) we will not hesitate to work with this team again to sell.

We have worked with Jen on three different transactions - buying and selling. She is smart, efficient, responsive, knowledgeable - she is the best realtor that we have ever worked with! If we move again, she is our first call!

Our family recently bought/sold property with the support and counsel of The Sivel Group and could not have had a better experience. Working with Jenn Rinella, Christie Jones and Michael Sivel was an absolute pleasure on all accounts. Beyond their clear expertise in navigating a highly competitive residential market they were without a doubt the most professional and honest real estate professionals we have ever worked with on a transaction. They were all highly attentive, accessible and communicative - all critical elements to building foundational trust and a successful partnership. We would highly recommend Jenn, Christie, Michael and the Sivel Group.

Jeff and I were happy that we worked with Michael, Jennifer, and Yasir. They are a great team, they were so helpful and supportive. They responded to questions almost immediately, they helped us find an insurance company for home coverage, they were so knowledgeable and professional. It was a pleasure to work with them.

- Linda Finkelstein and Jeff Bergelson
Jean and Jenn have been amazing to work with.  From the very first conversation through the close, Erika and I felt we had a "wingman" in them and that they had our best interests in mind.  They were punctual, detail-oriented, and educated on us on so many things about our relo, the area, that we felt nothing but comfort and trust.  Jean and Jenn are a true powerhouse and we feel so blessed to have had them steer us in this journey.  
Thank you!
- Kim and Erika

Dear Jenn,

We want to send our sincere appreciation for guiding us  seamlessly on our house - sale journey. We felt fully supported, but never pressured throughout the entire process. You are a time professional and we are so happy you could represent us! If our journey ever brings us back to Philly, you'll be our first call for housing!

Thanks again, Anthony & Josh

Jenn’s knowledge of local neighborhoods, older houses, current market trends, surrounding comps and negotiation process is unparalleled. Without her expertise of intricate negotiation clauses and offers we would have never settled on our forever house.

Jenn is knowledgeable, responsive, and strategic. Great attention to detail and listens to exactly what you need. She also knew the market inside and out to help us understand value. HIGHLY recommend.
