I had been searching for my first investment property in my home state for over a year with no success. After finding Venture Philly, Aaron got on the phone right away, listened carefully to what I was looking for, and immediately committed to helping with the search. Within weeks, we had a great property under consideration.
Aaron toured the property himself first, sent detailed feedback, and then recommended I travel to Philadelphia to see it in person. After that visit, we submitted an offer.
Throughout the entire buying process, Aaron was my biggest advocate. He was extremely responsive, never pushy, and always patient with my questions and concerns. He also connected me with excellent partners, including insurance, a lender, and a home inspector who were all great to work with.
A few days before closing, my original out-of-state lender tried to change the terms on me. I was in full panic mode, but Aaron stayed calm, contacted the seller, secured a one-week extension, and looped in his local lender, who got me approved in just 3–4 days. We successfully closed and I secured my first investment property.
Even after closing, Aaron has remained just as responsive and supportive as he was from day one.
Huge thanks to Aaron and the entire Venture Philly team. I’d highly recommend them to anyone looking to buy in Philadelphia, especially if you’re investing from out of state.
Our only gripe was with the software Venture uses for their digital signing—it's horrendous. Like, we probably wasted a couple hours because the signing software would keep resetting when a second person tried to access it, wiping out all of the many dozens of e-signatures we had already put in (also, I highly recommend working from a desktop computer if you can, as the software can be extremely frustrating using a trackpad on laptop, even when it's working properly... but I digress).
Overall, 10/10 for the actual personnel, and I can't see any reason why we won't be working with Scott and Venture for the forseeable future.
As a first-time homebuyer, I was honestly terrified going into this, but Terrell made me feel comfortable and confident the whole way through. He explained things clearly, never rushed me, and handled everything with patience and care. Beyond being a great realtor, he’s just a genuinely good and personable guy — someone who really looks out for his clients. I’m so grateful to have had him on my side and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a home!
We had a great time working with Scott. He’s attentive, knowledgeable, and professional. We appreciated his quick responsiveness, even working late hours to ensure our offer was submitted without delay.
He helped us win a multiple offer situation without waiving inspections and helped negotiate $30k+ repair.
At every step, we felt confident knowing he had our best interests in mind, and we appreciated that he never pressured us into making a decision. His professionalism, dedication, and even his sense of humor made the entire process both smooth and enjoyable. We would recommend Scott Sepkowicz without hesitation to anyone looking for a trusted, reliable realtor.
She worked effortlessly to negotiate the best possible price for me, making sure I got real value without compromising on what I wanted. She was consistently communicative, professional, and genuinely helpful throughout the entire process. Thanks to her, getting a new home was not only easy,it was enjoyable. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a smooth and successful home-buying experience!
Thank you Scott for making this process so easy and helping us find our dream home!
Seamless process from start to finish!! I worked with Scott Sepkowitz to sell my condo and he made it so much easier than expected. He was available to contact at almost any time to answer my questions and was very quick with getting things moving. In a time where condos were dropping their prices, we ended up receiving 3 competitive offers. Highly recommend!!

I had an amazing experience working with Jenna Ferreri on the purchase of my home! From start to finish, she went above and beyond to ensure the process was smooth and stress-free. They provided clear, straightforward advice and even pointed out potential issues in homes that I wouldn’t have noticed on my own. It was clear they genuinely cared about helping me find the right house, not just making a sale.
Thanks to their dedication, I found the perfect home, and I couldn’t be happier.

Navigating the Philadelphia real estate market can be complex, but with the guidance of experienced professionals, you can make informed decisions.
Most buyers need savings for a down payment (3–20%), closing costs (2–5%), and moving or repair expenses. A trusted Philadelphia real estate agent can help you budget and find the right loan options.
Philly real estate ranges from $200K rowhomes to $1M+ luxury properties in neighborhoods like Rittenhouse Square and Society Hill. Philly realtors can help you find the best fit for your budget and lifestyle.
Real estate agents in Philadelphia can help you navigate the process, negotiate on your behalf, and protect your interests, making the experience smoother and less stressful.
Philadelphia property taxes are based on your home’s assessed value and the city’s current tax rate of 1.3998%. For example, if your home is valued at $250,000, your annual property tax would be about $3,500 before exemptions. Many Philly homeowners save with programs like the Homestead Exemption, which reduces your taxable value by $100,000, or tax abatements on new construction. A local Philadelphia real estate agent can help you estimate your exact tax bill when buying.
Yes, but FSBO homes in Philly sell for far less than those listed with professional Philadelphia real estate agents. Realtors handle pricing, marketing, negotiations, and paperwork to get you top value.
Expect agent commission, closing costs, and possible repair or staging expenses. A Philadelphia real estate agent can give you a full breakdown before listing.
On average, homes spend about 48 days on the market, but this depends on price, neighborhood, and demand.
