Reviews of Houwzer | Realtors & Mortgage

My husband and me had the best experience working with Houwzer. Our agent, Howard Smith had a great knowledge of the market and advised us accordingly. We were a little concerned as we put the house on market around the time when interested rates spiked and were anxious if we would be getting good buyers. Our house was sold within 6 days of being in the market! The icing on the cake is the flat $5000 as seller's commission that helped us save more than $10,000. I would recommend Houwzer a 100%.
Kevin Henderson
A great experience from beginning to end. I loved the Houwzer dashboard showing me the current status of the entire selling process. My agent was super helpful and knowledgeable, and I felt very reassured and confident that all my needs and concerns were being addressed by the Houwzer team. This was my first experience selling a home, and I would definitely choose Houwzer again in the future. You’ll see significant savings with their flat rate listing model while providing the exact same services you would get through other agencies. If you’re looking to sell your house, look no further and choose Houwzer- you will not regret it!

Houwzer was extremely attentive to our needs. Our listing agent, Brett, and his team readily responded to all questions and concerns promptly. He made himself available at all times, which truly went above and beyond all expectations. Houwzer made the process of selling our home very easy to manage. Their systems and staff helped us know exactly what was needed and the next steps. We received a higher level of care and support than a "typical" real estate agent. After having sold houses in the past through realtors that take a percentage, Houwzer has been the easiest, most stress-free, and saved us a lot of money. Would highly recommend them!

Mr. Brett Stephenson was our agent to sell our house located at Foxchase. We couldn't have been more pleased! We received multiple offers the very first day the house went on market, thanks in large part to Mr. Stephenson's incredible marketing. Houwzer brought in a fabulous photographer and videographer to showcase our home online, which created much more foot traffic and brought in serious buyers. Their marketing team is top notch and can't be beat! Although we received multiple offers, we ended up working with Cash offer deal. Mr. Stephenson along with Houwzer, kept the transaction moving along & getting to Closing in a timely manner. Throughout the whole home selling journey, Brett was always available to answer our questions, very responsive and respectable. On the whole we had great experience! And recommend Houwzer to everyone who would like to have their house sale or buying experience to be pleasant.
Kristina Abrams
Chris and Houwzer are amazing! We were first time home buyers. You couldn't ask for a greater team to work with. From start to finish everything was fantastic. Everyone we worked with was great. They helped us every step of the way and were always there when we needed them. Chris was wonderful to work with. He always had our best interests in mind. 1000/10 would work with again.
maurice Hamlin
As this being my wife and I first home we purchased, with little to no working knowledge about the process of it all. Working with Mike was literally a breath of fresh air, and made our experience much more comfortable given the circumstances surrounding why we needed to find a home in such a short period of time. We gave Mike the game plan and he executed it professionally and in a timely fashion. We will definitely be reaching out to our Agent Mike and Houwzer for any future endeavors.
Brianna Migliaccio
Houwzer helped me purchase my first home and was extremely helpful from start to end. Micheal was my real estate agent and did everything he could to help me find the perfect fit. He always was just a call away whenever I needed anything. Robert was my mortgage advisor and walked me step by step through the entire process of taking out my first mortgage.
Brian Gahagan
Houwzer team was wonderful to work with and made things simple and easy for us. They were helpful every step of the home buying process. We had a great experience with Stephanie as our Agent.
Courtenay Long
I had a great experience with Houwzer. My agent Chad crushed it. He found me the perfect sized house in the city with a giant backyard and helped me navigate an unbelievable deal. I used Houwzers in house mortgage team and Jeff was awesome to work with. I would recommend this combo to anyone.
Pam Matthews
I sold my home Nov 2022 with Houwzer. Everything went so smoothly, communication with my Realtor was 5 star. I highly recommend them and would absolutely go with them again.
Luke P
We were 100% satisfied with Stephan’s excellent service. His knowledge of the market is impeccable. He offered thorough and timely communication which greatly helped to create an stress-free selling process. Thank you Stephan Sitzai and the Howzer team for doing such a wonderful job.
David Liu
We've worked with Scott with the past 4 successful transactions, and he also worked with my sister's purchase on a property via remote purchase. I can say Scott helped us secure a very good negotiated price with the seller. In addition to his RE skills, he is knowledgeable in spotting the repairs needed, red flags, and the good, the bad, and the 'ugly-walk-away' properties we propensed on. Scott was also patient with us in all the other offers we submitted that did not go through and continued on to the next prospects. Additionally, the in-house services Houwzer offered to make the purchasing process a seamless experience is worth its worth in rare earth metals.
Jason Senk
Absolutely terrific experience working with Ryan, Rob, Shaina, and the whole team at Houwzer. Everyone involved in the process of buying a home was professional, responsive, knowledgeable, and helpful throughout. Highly recommended!
Megan Williams
Allison Dubovsky was the BEST. She was extremely knowledgeable, patient, and clearly knows exactly what she is doing. She went above and beyond doing multiple things to make the sale happened that frankly the seller's agent should have been doing. During our search she answered all of our questions, many times more than once, she got viewings scheduled right away and worked us on everything. After we under contract she was always in touch with us and the lender and through the multiple issues (due to the seller's side or from my lender, not her) that arose she always kept her composure and worked on getting us over the hurdle. The other people involved, Amanda, Ryan, Amber and everyone else, were also fantastic, but we didn't work with them as much, so I don't have as specific information. I can say that the way Houwzer works as a team and has everything in house is incredibly convenient and made us feel secure the entire time. We never felt pressured, and the whole experience with them was great Thank you!!
olabode Abodunde
Our experience with Houwzer has been awesome... coming off the back of a very poor experience with another realtor and trying to buy in a difficult market we weren't too optimistic. But our Houwzer agent Diane W. was incredible from start to finish! Her communication was outstanding she communicated every detail and every step along the our home buying journey. Trust was a huge factor for us and we quickly realized that she was someone that we could trust because it was clear that she had our best interest at heart. Diane has a strong set of core values ... honesty, integrity, good communication, attention to detail... they all quickly become obvious as we worked with her. She was honest and upfront with us throughout the process but at the same time gave us hope and confidence that we would find our home!
We call her "Our home buying angel" because there were moments where it felt exactly like that... She took care of so many details from offer to close and, helped us navigate some serious last minute "seller" craziness that almost derailed our purchase... I am a worrier and a detail oriented but Diane was 3 steps ahead of everything that came up!
Her advice on how much to offer for the home in a hyper competitive market and changing interest rates was SPOT ON! I felt like she really understood the market and expertly guided us into a home and neighborhood we love and at the right price for us!
I know this a long review but we honestly don't have enough words!
Oh did I mention from start (when we started working with Houwzer) to finish (settlement with keys in hand) it took us just 39 days!
Like I said... It's been an incredible experience. Our Houwzer team really worked hard on our behalf.
Thank you Houzwer!
Thank you Diane!
Ken Adams
Had nothing but a smooth, positive experience with Houwzer and saved $8k+ at closing when all said and done. If you’re looking to sell a house, Stephan is your man. He was fantastic to work with, and by listening to him and taking his advice during negotiations, I ended up saving an additional $15k+ I honestly don’t know why everyone wouldn’t use Houwzer when selling their house
Chris
We worked with Diane Winkelman and without her we would not have our dream home. Diane was Very responsive, came up with creative ways to make our offer stand out, and worked quickly to get our offer in. In this market, time is of the essence and Diane never had any lag time. She is personable and easy to work with; we appreciated her collaborative style. She made our home buying process as seamless as possible in a difficult market. We would highly recommend her to any friends or family looking to buy.
Meghan Hughes
The entire team from the Agents to Houwzer Title were wonderful to work with as we bought a new home. Their market knowledge and their responsiveness were key to navigating the home-buying market. I highly recommend working with them for any of your buying or selling needs, and we specifically enjoyed working with our Agent Chris Myatt!
Mickael Havel
Allison is just the best! She provided great insight on properties that would meet our needs, adapted to our schedule for visits and was super reactive answering every call or request right away. I highly recommend her as a buyer agent, and Houwzer to anyone looking for a seamless and fun house-hunting experience in Philly. Thank you so much Allison, it was awesome working with you!
John Leahy
I had to move to the west coast from Philadelphia and I put my house up for sale with Houwzer. First, they are a great value compared to the traditional realtor pricing model. Second, they have the whole process well organized and I could see on my personal web page what steps still need to be complete and who was responsible for each step. Third, my agent, Stephan, went above and beyond what I expected from a realtor. He paid regular visits to the house after I had moved and gave me updates. He coordinated with service providers and provided access as needed. He even watered my plants when he visited! Selling a house when you live 2,700 miles away is stressful. But Stephan and the Houwzer team were able to minimize that stress and sold the property quickly for the right price.
Karen Sterling
Chris Johnson was great and our home of 28 years sold quickly, with multiple offers and well over list price. The fact we saved over $18,000 in commission costs was great too. Highly recommend them!
JerseyGirl
What a fantastic company to work with! My soon to be ex-husband was more than difficult through this entire process and our agent, Jeannie B, had the patience of a saint and always something positive to say! The team that handled the back of the house tasks were on top of their game and always there to lend a hand, no matter what! The app for showings and feedbacks was awesome, everything right there in one place. Their model for both their fee (which saved me a lot of money) and communication through every step, big or small was something they should be proud of! I wasn't sure what to expect with a flat fee for listing my house but what they delivered was incredible! I would recomment them to anyone and everyone, such a great experience!
frank pinto jr
Our agent was outstanding! He treated us like family going above and beyond, listening to our wants trying to find our happy home..we found it after 7 days and many miles traveled! Recommend Houwzer highly, they do their best for you!
Sachin Patel
Houwzer is the way home selling and buying should evolve to. Saved me thousands over the old and traditional methods. A big plus is that their staff practices what they preach. My agent, Jeannie Bryers was attentive, understanding and always on her game. You can’t go wrong going with Jeannie and Houwzer.
Aidan Guynes
We had an amazingly smooth experience buying our first home with Houwzer. Our agent, Scott Hicks, knew what we wanted and helped us find exactly that. He was very knowledgeable about general home maintenance and was very informative when we would go on tours. Scott even found us an amazing first time home buyers grant to help us financially afford our place! Also, when we had some trouble getting the mortgage finalized due to certain issues with our house, Scott guided us through the process of getting repairs done and now we are homeowners! Couldn't recommend him or Houwzer more!
Casey Reim
My wife and I were looking for our first house. My friend, who just bought his own first house, recommended Houwzer and more specifically Jason Matthews as an agent. Best decision I ever made. Every step of the way was made painless and easy. And more specifically, Jason made our lives so much better by being our agent. Most realtors want to steer you towards a house they know would be a good sale for them. Not Jason. Jason actually steered us AWAY from a lot of houses we liked because he knew they wouldn’t be the right fit for us (especially the houses that smelled like dog urine). After a few months he found the exact type of house we wanted. From there, the mortgage application process is long and complex but with their updated online software and ability to contact them at almost any time of the day, one month later we moved our new home. Their whole staff is incredible accommodating and incredibly knowledgeable, and they answered all our questions honestly and thoroughly. Not every house-search is a piece of cake, but with Houwzer, it’s a million times easier. I would definitely recommend using Houwzer, and in fact I already have.
Trisha Johnson
I used Houwzer for both seller and buyer representation. From start to finish it took (6) months from selling my home to purchasing my new home. Everything went smoothly and I received above asking selling my home and purchased below - great negotiation on both ends !
Ken Harris
I had a great experience selling my home with Houwzer. My agent, Howard Smith, was very helpful with exploring options in decision making, responsive and always professional. The organization uses a technology driven high communication, high touch approach throughout the process so I never felt left alone while my house was on the market which can be a stressful time. Plus the savings are significant!
Erin
Erika Arruda went above and beyond for us. She did everything in her power to help us win an offer. She was extremely communicative and always responded quickly. Her transaction coordinator Amber was also fabulous and extremely helpful during the transaction. I couldn't have had a better home buying experience.
LIMING HONG
If you are looking for houses in Delaware, Stephine Tang is your best option. She absolutely wonderful to work with. It’s like having a friend on the “inside” that is working for you. She really care about her clients. Houwzer also has a bundle deal when you buy and sell with them, perfect for relocation.
Mary Porter
Diane was absolutely incredible. She was always consistent with communication, helped us come up with great offers (all of which ended up being accepted), and helped us keep our cool in an intense sellers market. It was clear Diane always had our best interest in mind and embodies what Houwzer's model aims to achieve! Thank you again for all that you do, we are so happy with our new home!!
Nicole Cooper
My fiance and I had a great experience working with Houwzer in our search for our first home. Michelle Goldberg was our realtor and we really enjoyed working with her. When we found our home Michelle did not hesitate to work through Friday night and the weekend to make sure our offer got in as quickly as possible. Michelle was always available by cell and email when we needed her and frequently checked in with us throughout the process. Working with Michelle and Houwzer made filling out all of the paperwork and coordinating different parts of the closing seamless. We highly recommend this service!!
Jenna Jurich
We worked with Chris Johnson to sell our home through Houwzer and the entire process was a breeze. Chris is extremely knowledgeable, well-organized, and very responsive. He answered all of our questions throughout the process and kept us well-infomed. His coordinating team was also great to work with and quick to respond. I would highly recommend Chris to anyone looking to sell their home!
Brian Wilkinson
Our Houwzer experience was excellent from beginning to end with Ross handling the sale of our home and Michelle assisting in the purchase of our new home. This was a new experience for us since we've never sold then bought so both agents made the process as smooth as possible for us keeping an open line of communication with us and responding to any of our questions.
In the future, we would definitely consider using Houwzer again and will recommend to our friends and family.
Morgan Breon
We had a wonderful experience working with Michelle and the whole Houwzer team for the purchase of our first home. Although our home search lasted longer than we anticipated, due to the high demand and competition in the current market, Michelle helped us stay positive and excited about the process. She was a great sounding board when putting together our offers and gave us very helpful advice throughout the whole process. We’re so happy we finally found our new home and are very grateful for all the help and support Michelle provided!
Michael Maryanski
Went with Houwzer Realtors with the sale of my home in Moorestown NJ ,first home I every bought and first home I have ever sold. The process required me to answer and send some emails text I think it is the future in how home sale and purchases will go, I saved about $17000 in my pocket. Its a no brain buying or selling with Houwzer professionals experienced great value Ispoke with two other home owners in town who sold with Houwzer both were pleased and both saved even more then I did good luck.
Greg Mclaughlin
I was a Realtor for a few years with a big name agency and Houwzer blows them away with their services that they offer. Chris and his team went above and beyond to make a stressful time go smooth for us. I have been telling everyone in my neighborhood about Houwzer and how much money we saved. I highly recommend Houwzer! Greg & Lisa
Erica Riley
My fiancé and I began looking for a home in June with a goal move in date of September. My friend recommended Houwzer for the “full service” home buying experience. I was linked with Isabella as our realtor and Rob as our loan officer. Everyone was prompt to answer our questions and we were able to get out and view homes on dates that worked with our schedules (even with Covid). We were able to find a home earlier than our date and our team worked with us to be able to make settlement with no delays. We have had a great experience with Houwzer and I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a home!
Jessica Mifflin
If you are considering a Realtor, Houwzer should be at the top of your list. Their listing fees are the most reasonable you can find - and their quality, responsiveness, and personalized support is top notch. Their buy/sell bundle is a great concept that saves people a ton of money, without at all skimping on the level of service you get. With both my selling and buying agent, I felt like I was their number one priority with each interaction!! I envision other firms may have to adapt their business models to compete with Houwzer as this amazing company continues to grow and gain momentum.
Lisa Marie
Houwzer was great to work with, and our realtor, Isabella, was absolutely phenomenal. She made our home buying process as painless as possible, and was able to hand-hold us through each step so we understood everything. Her level of dedication and patience was beyond impressive. She was able to anticipate our needs by truly understanding them. We always felt valued as clients by her, and more importantly that she actually cared about her work and took pride in making it a personalized experience.
We highly recommend working with Houwzer, and if you can request a specific realtor, then definitely work with Isabella! Thank you for everything!
Denise Nuccio
We were so pleased with the level of service that we received thru Houwzer during the sale of our house. From start to finish, our agent Jeannie Bryers was on top of every detail. . She responded quickly to any questions we had and always had our best interests in mind. Selling our house thru Houwzer saved us money AND they provided all of the services (and more) that a traditional realtor provides. We highly recommend Houwzer and Jeannie!
Tamico Williams
Diane Winkleman, our buying agent with Houwzer was phenomenal! She assisted us with purchasing our home during the pandemic shut-down which was no small task. She communicated with us regularly and advocated on our behalf with many of the other parties involved in the transaction. She always took the time to meet with us virtually whenever we had questions or needed guidance on a particular matter. This was our first home so her professionalism, attention to detail and efficiency far exceeded our expectations. Thank you again to Diane and the Houwzer family for making the process such a great experience.
Diandra Monique
My fiancé and I are first time home buyers and we can honestly say that Houwzer provided us with the best agent! Mr. Dan Robinson was prompt with responses, knowledgeable, and extremely personable! We truly love that guy! The only reason why I am not giving Houwzer 5 stars is due to our financial guy, Andrew! He was trash! He did not effectively communicate with anyone on our team, but the biggest issue was the fact he made so many costly errors involving the financial aspect that Dan luckily caught. This is a great company all around and if Dan is on your team you are sure to get the house of your dreams!
Jared Netzer
I was initially unsure about working with Houwzer because it is not a well known company, and there are many real estate companies that have a large footprint in my neighborhood. I decided to give them a call to see. I spoke with Howard Smith, and from that point on I never questioned the decision to utilize Houwzer. Our sale was a little more complicated then the average due to some recent storm damage to the home and we were moving out of the country prior to the home being listed. With all that said Howard confidently walked us through the entire process without a hitch. Even through the minor hurdles he was always available to listen to our concerns and gave us sound advice. I have purchased/sold homes before. Howard’s experience with real estate and his people skills are unparalleled. I genuinely suggest anyone to utilize Howard. And not to mention, you will save a lot of money by using Houwzer.
A. Nicole Anderson-Toombs
Diane our realtor was amazing! The ENTIRE Houwzer team was incredible. Kind, patient, just wonderful from start to finish in this process!
Abbey Tambini
Our experience with Houwzer was great! We were referred by my parents who had recently sold their home through Houwzer.
Jennifer Welwood is an amazing realtor! My husband and I recently purchased our first home and Jennifer was our realtor. I would recommend her to anyone and everyone! She is incredibly knowledgeable of the South Jersey area. She knows exactly what to look out for when considering a home and was very in tune with what we were looking for.
Jenn had answer to all my questions, big and small, and would respond super quickly. She was on top of everything. As first time home buyers, she made the whole experience much less overwhelming, and clearly and thoroughly explained every step of the process. Jennifer navigated us through the negotiation process smoothly and we ended up with a house we absolutely love.
Jennifer way exceeded my expectations as a realtor and I can confidently say she will exceed yours, too!
Sarah Peppel
Absolutely great working with this company. Chris Johnson and the team really helped lead us through a rough year with a global pandemic shutting down real estate services for a couple of months in PA. The videographer was extremely professional and did a beautiful job of highlighting our home and yard. The app made tracking buyer visits & follow-up appointments very easy. When, our buyers experienced unfortunate delays selling their home and we had already moved, Chris helped make sure our home was maintained and everything in order in both the home itself and all the paperwork for the home to finally close. Would definitely work with again. We need Houwzer in TN!
MiskatonicU09
Houwzer was a great company to work with as first-time homebuyers. My wife and I worked with Emily Franklin, who quickly impressed us with her knowledge and friendliness, filling us in on what we needed to know as first-time buyers. We viewed a number of properties together, and ultimately she showed us a place she recommended to us based on our tastes that we ended up buying. She helped us with talking to our lender, put us in contact with a great home inspector, and overall made us feel like we were being listened to with the goal of finding a place that would make us happy. We love our new home, and we are so glad that we had Emily and Houwzer to guide us through the process. Thank you!
Joelyne King
Our buying experience with Houzer was beyond great. They kept us in the loop every step of the way from the moment we made our initial contact with them and they put us in contact with our assigned agent. Our when Katie B. was top notch at her job. She is caring and understanding of her clients needs and wants. Her knowledge of the real estate industry is remarkable and we felt confident in her abilities to find and get us the house we wanted.
Alice Borowsky
Had a totally great experience with Andrew at Houwzer selling our home in Philadelphia. It was a full-service experience and we saved quite a bit of money. Would totally recommend selling with Houwzer! There is no good reason to go with an old school realtor when Houwzer's business model is so unbelievably financially advantageous and the service is top notch. They took beautiful photos and were willing to do unlimited open houses.
Chris Naab
Michelle was a great realtor. It was a very competitive market when we wanted to buy a new home and she worked tirelessly to help us find the house we wanted and where we wanted. She was always very responsive and quick to answer all of our questions with the process. She really shined when we were under contract and ran into a number of hiccups and delays from the seller's side. She continuously pushed to get the transaction finished and ultimately got us to settlement! We couldn't be happier with all the work she did for us and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a real estate agent!
Cyn Raw
We used Houwzer to sell our home. Their flat fee, team approach was the perfect choice for selling our home in a very hot market. Ross and his team provided an excellent marketing strategy, professional photos, and support during the selling process. The flat fee and media orientated marketing were best suited to selling our home quickly since it sold in 24 hours once the pictures were posted. We had lived in our home for 30 years so the fast paced, internet/social media marketing took a bit of adjustment, but Ross and Howard did a great job of keeping us informed and educated in the process as well as making all of this happen during a pandemic.
Stephen Walicki
Our experience selling our house with Houwzer was great! Our agent, Jorge Santana, was very knowledgeable and responsive. Every step of the process was handled professionally, from the initial meeting, to the photo shoot, to the listing and open houses, to sorting through the offers and getting to settlement. Most of all, Jorge was willing to listen to our inputs and concerns and provide us sage advice throughout the entire process. We saved over $20K going with Houwzer!
Tod Gomer
Working with Howard and the Houwser team was very easy. The technology they employ makes it easy to see what is happening throughout the process.
Joanne Tull
Highly recommend Houwzer to anyone wanting to sell or list a home. 2nd time using Houwzer and working with Ruben. Great experience!!
Stephanie Ford
First Time Homebuyer Review: My husband and I bought our first home last week and we couldn't be happier with our experience using Houwzer. After multiple attempts to contact other realty companies in the area only to receive no returned calls or emails, we found Houwzer through a Facebook ad and decided to give it a go on a whim. Their website promised a fast, easy, one-stop-shop experience where we wouldn't have to use an outside mortgage company after our offer was accepted. Little did we know that we would not only end up with an amazing experience, but we'd also get the best realtor in the company. If you're looking for a realtor who will put her all into helping you find your dream home, Michelle is your girl! Her knowledge in the industry, navigation skills through the entire process, incredible honesty (a huge bonus for us as first-timers!), passion, and overall entire energy was nothing short of amazing and we couldn't have asked for a better person to lead us through the process. She truly fought for us every step of the way, answered every question we could find (which was a lot), and helped us through even the toughest negotiations until we finally found our perfect place - and for under our budget, too! We cannot thank her enough for helping us take this next step in our lives and are truly grateful to the entire Houwzer team who worked with us to make it a reality.
Joe Hamm
Unlike other real estate agents I've dealt with, Stephan Sitzai and the Houwzer team were extremely professional, competent, responsive, and attentive. They are well organized and made the sales process so easy....and it was cheaper than a traditional real estate company! I cannot recommend them enough.
Conor Brooks
We used Houwzer to buy our first home, and Ryan was everything we needed our realtor to be. He was patient with our time constraints and travel needs, helped us narrow down neighborhoods, spent full days touring houses with us, and was always receptive to feedback. He guided us through the home buying process and was quick to answer questions and provide us with any information we needed. He was also incredibly honest, which was one of the things we appreciated most - he let us know what he thought of houses and was never pushy. We would buy a home with Ryan and Houwzer again without hesitation.
Dennis Tuan
We decided to go with Houwzer after our first meeting with Jorge. Jorge seemed to really understand our goals for selling the house given our tight timeline and needs. He provided a thorough consultation with a good command of the neighborhood, comparables and market. Throughout the sale process, he was very responsive, open to our ideas, while provided valuable feedback and advice. He helped us negotiate for a strong offer with a quick painless closing. We highly recommend Jorge to anyone looking to sell their home!
Megan Gonnella
Our home sold in 22 days and we saved approximately $15k in realtor fees. The company that Houwzer uses to take pictures of the home was excellent. Homes really do sell themselves online. I definitely recommend Houwzer. Things to note: we do live in an area with a demanding real estate market. I am curious to see if homes listed with Houwzer in slower markets sell in the same time frame as homes with a traditional selling agent. Also, there is not a lot of hand holding on the selling side which is to be expected. If you are someone who prefers a very hands on selling agent you may not find that here. We preferred a less invasive selling process. However, any time we had a question it was answered promptly. And being able to schedule showings through the app was nice also. Overall, a great experience.
Anne McComiskie
I used Houwzer to buy my first house, and the process was great. Our Agent Michelle was very responsive, answered all our questions, and advocated for us. Houwzer made it very easy for us and I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking to buy a house.
Paula Cocuzza
We had a fantastic experience with Houwzer and our realtor Danielle. She was excellent! Always extremely responsive and focused on making sure my parents found exactly the place they were looking for. Her advice on everything was very pointed and accurate. I had a pleasure working with Danielle and can’t wait to work with her to buy our next home!
Sean Fern
Kyah was fantastic. She kept everything on track despite the first buyer falling through. She made every part of the process crystal clear and reinforced our trust in her with each negotiation. We really lucked out in this sale with Houwzer!
Miranda Cauley
We had a great experience with Houwzer and worked with Chad Eason.
Chad was so wonderful to work with -- very friendly, positive, and professional! As first-time home buyers, this process was very new to my husband and me, but Chad helped us navigate the process so that we had a great understanding of how it all works. He showed us a variety of homes and helped point out what to look for, always keeping our wish list in mind and helping to make sure that we checked most to all of the boxes on our list. A lot of our negotiations happened to take place right around Thanksgiving and Christmas, and Chad was still so quick to respond to emails, texts, and phone calls. We love our new home and are so grateful to Chad for all of his help.
Sue Manny
Houwzer is a great company to work with. Great experience listing our house as compared to previous agents. Thoroughly professional, very responsive to queries. The app was great, listing our showings at a glance.They were with us every step of the way until the settlement. Already started referring them to friends and family!
Dianne Galm
What a great experience selling my house with Houwzer. My listing agent, Patricia Gesswein was always readily available and provided me with good insights. For $2500, Patricia and her team were with me all the way through settlement. They sent a first class photographer to take pictures and video. The wood post realtor sign they had installed was so much nicer than the metal prong stuck-in-the grass signs other companies use.
The best part is they saved me lots of money! Sorry my realtor friends...I wouldn't be taking food out of your family's mouth if you had brought a buyer. Yes you still would have gotten 3% of the sale price. 😉
I absolutely recommend Houwzer and would use them again.

I attended a webinar at the end of June with Houwzer. As a new homeowner, I had no clue where to begin. Here I am, end of August, and I just closed on my home. It was so smooth - I didn’t have to worry about the motivations of my agent, and I didn’t have to get an impossible appointment with my bank. I have an extremely low interest rate and got plenty in return due to my agent’s skills. Just really excellent and would recommend to anyone!
Hannah Korcal
We recently bought through Houwzer and couldn't have been happier with our experience. Buying a house for the first time felt intimidating, but the team (especially Jim and Robert) made it easy. I never felt uncomfortable asking questions or requesting clarification, and responses were always prompt and thorough. The service felt personal and sincere. From the very beginning when we were looking at properties, it was clear that Jim was listening to us and understood our wants and needs. I'd recommend Houwzer to anyone in the Philly area!
Josephine Winter
After asking about a property on Redfin, we were contacted by Houwzer and put in touch with our agent, Mike Jarra. Being first time home buyers, we are so glad that we worked with Mike! He walked us through the entire process, from touring homes, to negotiations, inspection, and closing with expertise and patience. He made himself available for us both in person and on the phone, and went above and beyond with everything in helping us buy our dream home. I would recommend both Mike and Houwzer without hesitation. I also love that Houwzer is a B corporation and that a percentage of their profits go back into serving the community-having a positive impact that goes beyond buying and selling houses. Thanks Mike and Houwzer, keep up the wonderful work!
Norman Zierler
We were highly satisfied with every step of the selling process. Our agent Trish Gesswein was always readily available and helpful with any questions or concerns. We have already recommended Houwzer to many people and will continue to do so. We frankly don't understand why anyone selling a house would not want to enjoy the tremendous savings by going with Houwzer.
Kristen Ragusa
Lisa Armellino (realtor) and Rob Wagner (loan officer) we're a dynamic duo! They made the purchase of our first home manageable during a crazy pandemic market. They are knowledgeable and clearly cared about the home we ended up in. Never any pressure or impatience. Always answered my (many) questions with a smile. Would absolutely recommend them!
Eric Rothstein
Had a great experience of working with Houwzer Realtors on the sale of our house and purchase of a new home. We got the full service of a traditional realtor at a much lower cost. We worked with Jorge Santana on the sell side and Kendra Poole on the buy side. Jorge is very knowledgeable (and patient). We sold our house for our asking price and Jorge guided us through the entire process, including representing us at closing. Kendra helped us navigate the buy side with the contractor and was always there for advice. We saved a ton of money and didn't feel like we sacrificed anything. Highly recommended.
Sofia Molestina
We met Chad Eason by chance as we decided to curiously walk through a beautiful open-house in West Philly that we knew we could never afford. We never imagined that a few months later, Chad would help us purchase our very own beautiful home in West Philly and well within our price range!
This was our very first home-buying experience, so my partner and I had a lot of questions and a lot insecurities. Chad was patient, quick to respond, informative, and very understanding until signing day and after. He put us in touch with the broker we ended up using, as well us other companies that we used throughout the home-buying process. He even rode his bike with us to a viewing, since we don't have a car! In fact, the whole Houwzer team was extremely helpful and responsive.
I only wish they could help us move in and with that same efficiency with which they helped us buy our home. :)
Chris Currie
Great company! Our agent Chad went above and beyond for us in helping us buy our first home. Highly recommend.
James Hill
This was my first time working with Houwzer and I have nothing but positive things to say. I started off working with Andrew Gray and later worked with Jorge Santana who both helped us list, and sell our house in a smooth transaction. We sold our house in two days, above asking price, and they let me do a remote closing since we had already moved to a new city.
Sean O'Neill
Trish was amazing. I was a first-time home seller and cautious about using a new company like Houwzer, worried that traditional agents might avoid my listing or that I'd get generic service. Trish was an ideal blend of responsive and efficient. She was courteous to my dumbest questions and on the ball and accurate and helpful with every detail -- despite the stress of selling during the pandemic. Houwzer's supportive software and other members of the crew were helpful and provided insights about the market that helped me to navigate tough decisions. Trish is a diamond in the rough! And I highly recommend Houwzer.
lisa sable
Selling your home is most likely the biggest sale you'll ever carry out and, no doubt, it can be very stressful. Houwzer meticulously videos your home, markets it on all the sites commissioned Realtors use and holds an open house (that was well attended). Our Realtor, Howard Smith, calmly guided us throughout the entire process, including the final negotiations. And, we saved a significant amount in Realtor fees! I would highly recommend Houwzer and Howard to guide you through a successful sale!
Bryce Liggins
Chad and the Houwzer team were fantastic to work with. As first time home buyers, my fiance and I were clueless about how to proceed. Chad guided us along the way and gave us the information we needed so that we could decide what was best for us. Chad was responsive and supportive during all hours of the day. We truly felt he had our best interests in mind. Houwzer and their salary paid Realtors are a no brainer!
David Kline
After hearing about Houwzer on the radio we had to at least give them a shot. Full service agents for half the price couldn't be more true. From the beginning to the end, Trish and the Houwzer team we're on top of everything. It's nice knowing that there is a team behind the agent you talk to and deal with on a daily basis. The professional photography made our house stand out from the rest. We sold our house in 4 days and above asking price. Who wouldn't be thrilled at that story?
I honestly can't think of one thing that went wrong with the process. We liked them so much that our mother will be using them to sell her house in Nov and she is a retired real estate agent. I don't know if a higher compliment then to trust someone else with the process, even though you can do it yourself.
Thanks Houwzer team,
The Kline's (Orlando bound baby!)
JEROME VICKS
Ruben Concepcion and the entire Houwzer Team exemplify real estate expertise and exceptional service! I would highly recommend Ruben and Houwzer to anyone considering selling or buying a home. I found the experience to be much better than a traditional real estate agency. Not to mention, I saved thousands of dollars by utilizing Houwzer instead of a traditional real estate service. Ruben is knowledgeable, prompt, upbeat, and affable.
cheryl hill
Our home selling experience was smooth, fast and efficient. We have bought and sold over 5 homes over the years. With the help of Houwzer and specifically our Realtor Howard Smith, our listing sold in hours and was painless!
He helped us choose a competitive price while achieving the highest profit possible. With His recommendations on "staging" , video and pictures of our home we had multiple offers the day it was listed. And, our selling price was the highest in the neighborhood.
We have recommended Houwzer to our friends and will continue using them in the future. Cheryl Hill, Ambler Pa
Alaina Gercak
I had such a surprisingly smooth home-buying process with Houwzer! I worked with Paul as my realtor and Rob and Ashley for my mortgage. Learned about Houwzer and their customer service oriented approach at one of their free seminars, and I'm so thankful I went through them. Paul and Rob were there for me every step of the way with guidance, answering all my emails and phone calls immediately and advocating for my best interest. Couldn't be happier! Will be referring anyone I know looking to buy a home in Philly or DC to Houwzer.
Liz K
From start to finish, I had a completely positive experience with Houwzer. My selling agent was extremely responsive and gave reliable advice and guidance throughout the process. Houwzer took care of the photos and video, which made the house look absolutely beautiful. Given Houwzer’s flat fee structure I also saved at least $3k in commissions. I can recommend them without reservation.
Seth Sauder
My agent was Scott Hicks and I would definitely recommend him to friends. He helped us get exactly what we wanted out of a house, within our tight time frame. Overall I really feel like you can trust the agents at Houwzer to give you unbiased advice since they are salaried. A bonus for Scott in particular was his background in construction, which allowed him to point out things that you would normally not hear until the house inspection.
Larry Abel
We dealt with Howard Smith, who professional and knowledgeable. He gave us the facts about our home, provided comparables, and got the house listed and sold within a week, for close to our asking price. Howard and his team took care of the details once we reached an agreement of sale, and guided us through the entire process. Given that we listed the house just before the COVID-19 shutdown, it was important that our agreement of sale not go south, and Howard helped us avoid that while maximizing our net sales proceeds.
Full disclosure, our son-in-law works at Houwzer--that's how we decided who to use. Our service was great nonetheless
Chris MacDermaid
Update 09/2020
Having bought our home with Houwzer, and after a great experience, we enthusiastically dove in to sell our old home with them as well. Everything that I wrote previously holds true for the home selling experience, too. Their knowledge of the market was excellent, leading to spot-on recommendations for listing price and strategy. Communication was awesome, between their tracking web site, frequent check-in phone calls, and use of the interactive listing app, I always felt like I was up to date. Interactive walkthrough and photos were professionally done, and they looked it. Howard and the team were honest and forthright and when necessary frank about the various situations we’d undoubtedly find ourselves in during the selling process. I felt that my interests were well represented and more importantly respected throughout the entire process. Most importantly though, the house sold the day it was listed, and never once did I worry about my team’s follow through. Everything went off without a hiccup after the initial offer, it was smooth sailing. This was certainly the best selling experience you could hope to encounter. I hope I don’t have to sell my home for some time, but if I do, I’ll certainly give these folks the opportunity to do it again.
You know that feeling you get when you expect something to go wrong, because doing big life things often have hiccups, but at the end of it all, everything went perfect? Yeah. That's what you get with Houwzer. Buying a house should be stressful, but the folks at Houwzer made it so easy that I'm actually paranoid that it was too easy.
Communication was prompt. Folks were helpful, knowledgeable and accommodating. The end to end process, from meeting Michelle, to closing was straightforward and most importantly trustworthy. At no point did I feel pressured, or confused, or felt like I was being unfairly influenced. Overall the experience was what I think most people dream of for buying a home.
Our Realtor, Michelle, was top notch professional, genuine in every way, and by the end of the process felt like a member of the family. I believe she honestly wanted nothing but the best for our family. She made the process so easy, I'm still baffled that it was indeed that easy.
What more can be said? This is how home buying should done. If I have to buy another, Houwzer and Michelle will be the first people I call. Thanks for a terrific experience!

Five stars is not enough. Howard Smith and the team at Houwzer did a phenomenal job of selling my house at full price and steering us through the closing process during the height of the COVID-19 shutdown in Pennsylvania while the rules for PA real estate transactions were changing by the day. I was immensely pleased with their performance at every step of the sale. After our initial meeting and walk through, Howard clearly communicated a detailed sales strategy and our house was listed quickly. I was quite pleased with the listing pictures, which were taken by a professional photographer. I loved using the Houwser App on my phone, which made accepting and tracking showings and viewing buyer feedback a breeze (much better than texting with an agent). We had dozens of people attend our open house, had several showings, and we received two offers after a week or so. Howard’s greatest impact was made in the closing process, however. My greatest initial concern about using a lower cost brokerage was whether they would steer us through the inspection and closing process. Howard performed above and beyond any reasonable expectations. After Howard helped us negotiate the inspection requests, Governor Wolf announced that all real estate business activities would be shut down – including title and real estate closing activities. Over the next few weeks, Howard and the Houwser team kept us abreast of all news and changes in policy, and helped develop a strategy to remotely coordinate with the buyer, his agent, the mortgage companies and the title companies. I was worried this deal would fall through but Howard was in constant contact, reassured us throughout, and got the deal done – in the most difficult environment for home closings anyone has ever seen. And lastly: he saved us over $10,000 in commission costs. Their pitch is 100% accurate with no hidden fees.
Chris Chung
Chad has been a phenomenal realtor for us from beginning until the very end. He's an excellent communicator, extremely knowledgeable, and a consummate professional all around. Even in the midst of the pandemic, Chad got us started on the process, laid out all the steps for us, and helped us look at homes through online listings. Once showings were allowed, he also followed all health mandates while we met for our viewings. We also changed our search criteria halfway through, and Chad was very understanding and responsive to that. At every step of the way (from initial offer, inspection, title, final walk through and closing), Chad was always there to explain the process clearly and help us along the way. I highly recommend working with him and the entire Houwzer Team. Thank you Chad!!
Mattie Williamsjjlkj
Houwzer Realtors & Mortgage are the best ever!! They have made my house search, house selection, settlement and everything in between a smooth and stress free transition. Micheal DeFiore my realtor worked well with my family to make everything a success. He promised me that my settlement date would not be changed and he was right. He went over and beyond to make sure it stayed true. Thank you Houwzer Realtors for everything you have done to help put my family in our beautiful home!! I would highly recommend Houwzer Realtors & Mortgage to everyone searching for their home.
Adam Pardes
Worked with Houwzer Real Estate and Mortgage, both were great. Our agent, Lisa, was a rockstar advocate for us and made a very stressful experience as manageable as possible. Robert on the mortgage side was equally responsive and supportive throughout the process. No complaints!
Jared Gentile
Houwzer and Ross Hatton were absolutely phenomenal. I was originally attracted to Houwzer's modern business model but skeptical about what level of service I could expect from such a streamlined approach. I could not have been happier. Our selling agent, Ross Hatton, was incredibly knowledgeable about the local market. He was responsive, he was efficient and he was instrumental in helping us get a terrific price for our home. Our house had hundreds of views in the first 24 hours thanks to the fabulous photography. We were under contract for over asking price in less than 3 days. I saved money, I sold quickly and I couldn't be happier!
John McGuinness
Houwzer and our agent Scott Hicks made the process of searching and buying our first home for my partner and me surprisingly easy! We are so thankful for the services they provide and highly recommend them for anyone looking to buy their first home. Thanks to Casey Hansen, Pam Quagliero, and Ashley Thomas for all of their help as well. Great service and great people!
Anthony Kuhar
I have bought and sold real estate using a number of realtors but I can honestly say Houwzer was by far the best experience. I sold a home in Philadelphia and despite their pricing structure that benefited me as the seller, Jorge was there each step of the way making sure everything went smoothly. Jorge knew the local market very well, put on an aggressive advertising campaign to sell the home, and made sure the transaction went smoothly by identifying any possible technicalities or hiccups before they happened. He was always one step ahead and took action before any issues arose. Settlement was by far the smoothest I could have asked for. Thank you Houwzer!
Daniela Ricci
The Houzer team was very professional and helpful since the beginning, our house was on the market only after a few days we got in touch with them! Communication was very easy, and our agent was always reachable and very responsive. Thanks to the team effort, we got an offer after 5 days our house was on the market! Even during the inspection and later process, our agent was always trying to give us suggestions but also keeping our thoughts in consideration. I would definitely recommend Houzer!!
Jeffrey Smith
Selling then buying through Houwzer literally saved us thousands of dollars and the service was above-and-beyond - no compromises whatsoever. If I had to do this all over again, I wouldn't change a thing. Our agent Sommer Mateer in particular was fantastic, super on top of things.
Ryan King
Tremendous company, top notch professionals who are knowledgeable about their industry. If you are a first time buyer looking to get someone who can answer all your questions or just want a quality realtor who will be in your corner taking your needs/wants into consideration then this is the right company for you. Their agents will go the extra mile to ensure you have all the information at your disposal when buying/selling a home. Top notch technology meets unparalleled real estate professionalism. On top of all that they are a certified Series B Corp. You cannot go wrong choosing Houwzer.
Kimberly Casimir
Awesome experience with houwzer and my Realtor Lisa Armellino! She was so calm throughout the whole process while I was freaking out. Houwzer was responsive on all questions. They wanted to get this house just as much as I did and never gave up on me. I felt so sure that I picked the right realtor and company and they delivered. Now I have a beautiful house to show for it!
Michael Curran
We would not have purchased our home without the herculean efforts of Chad Eason with Houwzer. Another offer was accepted ahead of us, but Chad encouraged us to make an offer just to show our interest. When the original fell through we were in pole position, and from then forward Chad was responsive, knowledgable, friendly and professional. Every aspect of this process (which I have gone through twice before) was improved by having the right real estate agent representing us. We wholeheartedly recommend Chad, and the Houwzer agency and will absolutely use them in the future on the listing and purchasing side.
Roberto Dominguez
This was a smooth seller’s experience. Both our interactions with the Houwzer team and our agent, Howard Smith, were efficient and kept to a minimum. They took care of the paperwork and represented us at the settlement table. They also helped us find a house (where they earned their 3%). You don’t need more than that. This new concept for how to sell a house is likely to take over, as the whole idea of giving 6% of your hard-earned house value to a realtor makes most people uncomfortable
Sarah Brown
I sold my home with Houwzer and was VERY pleased to have saved the seller's commission. Real estate needs business models like this to shake things up, and I'm thankful for Houwzer and the opportunity they provided me to save money.
However, being a single, first time home seller, there were many times throughout the process when I felt that my home sale was not exactly the highest priority for the Houwzer team.
Luckily, my home was in very good condition with recent updates, in a hot market, and basically sold itself reasonably quickly (3 weeks) for these reasons.
This is just a word of caution! The money savings are worth it, however Houwzer may not be the best route for those who expect a very hands on real estate experience and/or those whose homes are not in tip top shape and in very hot markets. I believe the attention needed to sell a home in 1) a tepid market or 2) a mediocre condition home in a very hot market may not be there with this company.
Dee Person
My husband and I are veterans and proud to give our business to Houwzer, a veteran owned company! Our agent, Chris was professional and knowledgeable about the market. We received terrific customer service at a fraction of the cost of what other reality companies charge. Houwzer's business model is the future of real estate!
Evan Small
My wife and I were extremely satisfied with our relator Ruben Concepcion and his ability to put us in the best possible position to sell our home at the end of 2020. His tips and pointers in regards to minor updates to make our house more presentable added value immediately. Ruben made himself available during all hours of the day and was extremely thorough in regards to his explanations of the house selling process. I would recommend Houwzer for selling a home. I am additionally looking forward in utilizing them in the process of purchasing a home.
Elena DeTaranto
My boyfriend and I loved working with Chad! We were first time home buyers and couldn't have received better guidance. Chad was extremely helpful with all of our questions from our intro to home buying meeting through closing. He took so much time making sure we understood the process, how and what to look for in a home, and insights into some of the Philadelphia neighborhoods. I will be recommending him to anyone I know looking for a home!
Jeni Carvell
Working with the Houwzer team and Jorge Santana was a pleasure! They made selling our home in Philadelphia easy and smooth. Best of all we saved lots of money! I would recommend them to anyone who is considering buying or selling their home in the area. Jorge and the whole Houwzer team are great to work with!!!
Carla Williams
If you want an excellent and knowledgable agent, Kyah Brown is your answer. When I interviewed her, I was quite impressed. She answered all my questions, even the ones that stumped other agents. She also followed up with an email on capital gains taxes, where other agents deflected and simply referred me back to my accountant. While she didn't profess to know everything, she impressed me with what she did know.She developed a plan, set a price and kept me informed every step of the way. We even closed for higher than the asking price. And of course, I plan to use her again.
Pooja Jambunathan
My husband and I had the pleasure of working with Julie Harrison at Howzer who helped us buy our first house. We met Julie at one of the open houses where she was the listing agent. We were just looking around the neighborhood and weren't really in a rush to buy a house and Julie was extremely patient with us. She really got to know us well and took the time to understand what we were looking for. She walked us through every step of the process from showing us houses to closing the deal. Her enthusiasm is infectious and it got us through the times when we got outbid. I would highly recommend Julie to anyone who is looking to buy or sell a house especially to first time home buyers.
Joe Brock
I first went to the local "rock star" realtor in our neighborhood. That guy moves houses. However after attending an open house in Medford, NJ I decided to talk to Houwzer. They actually recommended listing our house 25k more than the local guy, and you know what? We had 2 full price offers within a week. Talk to them before you list. Their model is different than anyone else, and as a result of their business model, I don't think they made a dime off of me. It didn't matter from a service perspective because I got AWESOME service. They gave me great advice, advocated zealously for me, and never took one single shortcut. People find houses differently today. The old model is outdated. Try Houwzer, get great service, and save 3%
Alexi Callen
Houwzer is a fantastic company to work with. We were buying our first house with them, and they helped us every step of the way. We worked with Chad Eason as our Houwzer realtor, and we really can't say enough good things about him. Our focus was on Center City and Fairmount, and he had a lot of great knowledge about both areas of Philadelphia. Even better, once we got into a house, he was able to point out issues we would have never noticed ourselves, and helped guide us towards the house that would fit us best. But buying a house isn't actually done until you get the keys, and Chad helped us through any of the issues that came up throughout the process. Chad was responsive, caring, thoughtful, and an all-around excellent agent. I would recommend Chad to anyone who is buying a home in the Philly area.
Cody Falatko
I have had nothing but an AMAZING experience working with Houwzer, and especially our agent Michelle. My wife and I were lucky enough to meet Michelle and work with her through this process. She made the stressful process as stress-free as possible. Michelle was always available to answer the many questions we had through out our home buying process. Her negotiation tips were a huge help when it came time for us to make an offer on our home. Michelle was VERY patient with us as we saw many homes before we found the right one, and her bubbly personality made working with her an absolute pleasure. Michelle deserves nothing but 5 starts for all she has done for my wife and I over the last several months, and I highly recommend her!
William Himbert
We recently sold a townhome in Chesterbrook with Houwzer and Chris Johnson, our listing agent. The listing process went smoothly and fast, the photography was great and most everything took place through email and electronically signed documents. Chris responded promptly to all of our questions and concerns. Our home also received numerous offers as soon as it was placed on the market, all above asking price. Chris handled all negotiations skillfully which gained good results. The settlement was fast and easy. Chris Johnson is very professional and friendly to work with. We would definitely use Houwzer again for future real estate services, they helped us to save a lot of money due to their innovative business model. Their sales commission was only a fraction of what you would normally pay to a traditional realtor. Highly recommended.
Andy Oliver
Chad went out of his way to help us find the house we were looking for. He was knowledgeable, fun to go on showings with, and worked super hard to get us the best deal for our new home. I'd advise anyone to work with Chad and the rest of the team at Houwzer!
Sam DiBernardo
Chad Eason works his tail off to make sure that you are completely taken care of. I think he might have "the buyer always comes first" tattooed on his chest. He formed a great rapport with my wife and I during our search for our first home. He has a great relationship with the mortgage/title companies and knows what to look for when viewing a house. he negotiates well with sellers agents and has a great sense of humor. Chad helped my wife and I close on a house in 3 weeks, which was really tight but he and his team are a well oiled machine and we got it done in time!
Jared Kaplan
This was our third time work with Houwzer and the experience continues to be exceptional. Andrew was great to work with and was an invaluable resource when a few issues arose during the process.
Andrew, and the other agents at Houwzer, do not view their clients as transactions, but as people with whom they want to build long term relationships.
We give them the highest recommendation.
Jennifer Wade
The people of Houwzer made my home buying experience a smooth process. Everyone I worked with was helpful and an expert in their craft. The professionalism was out of this world. I would recommend any home buyer to work with Houwzer Realtors and Mortgage.
Rachel Armstrong
I just bought my first house with Allison Dubovsky. She was an amazing agent and I am very happy with the home I bought. This house was actually the 4th offer I put in because of the market moving so quickly and aggressively. No matter what Allison never made me feel like I was a strain or bothering her since we had to be very fast when it came to seeing homes. She was always energetic and optimistic, more-so then me at a certain point, lol. She got me a great assist from the seller for repairs and the home came semi furnished with all of the items being gently used and in new condition. I would definitely recommend Allison to help you find your next home in the Philadelphia area.
Pilar Guerrero
We had a great experience working with Kris Walski to buy our first home. He made the process very approachable, and made sure to communicate everything we might need to know. Everything went very smoothly and I'd recommend Houwzer to anyone buying property in the area.
Sean Stephenson
Everyone at Houwzer was great to work with and we had extremely smooth process for both buying and selling. They were truly our trusted advisors through the entire process. I would absolutely recommend Houwzer.
Kayla speedy
Every person we worked with was professional, caring and worked incredibly hard for us. Our realtor, Paul Knese, was incredible! He was always available to us and spent many weekends showing us houses. His positivity and honesty made the process so easy and successful. We truly believe we found our dream home and we really have Paul and Houwzer to thank!
Kim Johnson
We recently sold our home with Houwzer. Jorge was a fantastic agent! We felt well-represented throughout the entire process. With the flat-fee, we felt we were getting an extremely good value. Would definitely recommend Jorge and the Houwzer team!
Ben Faust
This was our first home purchase and found our realtor Jason Mathews kinds out of the blue. Hands down best realtor. Our schedule is hectic and he was able to manage/ schedule and work around us. Answered all questions and never gave up. The Houwzer team is great found step 1 to the end. A shout out to Casey Hansen for helping us with the mortage process. He was knowledgable, explained everything throughly and has great taste in cupcakes
I would recommend working with this company especially if it's your first home!
Gina D
In the current day and age, it’s hard to justify paying realtor fees on the sale of your home. I listed with Houwzer and my home sold in a week and I saved a lot of money. I also used Houwzer to buy my subsequent home. They use separate realtors for buying and selling and I found both realtors to be knowledgeable and responsive.
Tom Kirk
What an amazing experience we had with Houwzer. Candidly it boggles the mind why everyone isn’t listing with Houwzer – they will Uberize the realtor business. Trish Gesswein, our listing agent was a true professional. She helped guide us through the process, kept us on task with our responsibilities, and was instrumental in us selling our house. The photos and video were better than any of the “traditional realtors” so you have no concern of “getting less” from their listing model. The money we saved with Houwzer is still hard to fathom. I would recommend Trish and Houwzer to anyone interested in selling their house (and saving money) or buying a house – they are top notch realtor
Sharon Henahan
This was a great experience at a really great price. We had the full professional treatment of great house photos, an open house, easy to use online app, quick responses by phone, text, and email. Howard took great care of us throughout the process. I would recommend Houwzer to anyone.
Mary Rucci
We loved working with Scott Hicks. We looked at a fair number of homes, and he gave us sound advice and input. When we found the home we wanted, he helped make the process easy -- from offer, to negotiation, mortgage and closing. He was very responsive from start to finish. We would definitely recommend him.
Timothy Umbach
We received much help and guidance from Andrew Gray this past spring when we sold our house in downtown Philadelphia. Andrew always responded quickly to our calls and emails, even during the evening and weekends, which was very much appreciated. Definitely beyond the call of duty! We reside 5 hours away so it was very helpful that Andrew had local contacts of professionals who reliably did repairs requested by the buyer. Also , we were much relieved that we could do the closing without having to travel into the city.
We recommend him highly
Heidi Ford
Houwzer offers a streamlined and efficient method of selling your house. As someone who has sold houses before, I did not need a lot of hand holding. Very pleased with how the transaction was handled. Off the market quickly and at a price that was fair.
Erin Sherman
As a first time buyer, Houwzer could not have made things any easier or more enjoyable. Our agent helped up through every step and was available at the drop of a dime. While viewing houses he was incredibly knowledgeable about specific characteristics to look for and was great at offering advice (when appropriate). If buying or selling in the future, I would definitely use them again.
Catherine Hayden
It was a pleasure working with Jorge and Michael of the Philadelphia Team to buy and sell our home. They were personable, professional and incredibly knowledgeable of the real estate market in the Philadelphia area. They educated us throughout every step of the buying and selling process with excellent information and honest market insight. We would definitely recommend Houwzer!
Brant Hummel
The home buying experience with Houwzer was awesome! Initially we were skeptical that we'd lose something in the Houwzer experience v. a traditional real estate broker but we were simply wrong. Houwzer (represented BRILLIANTLY by Michelle Goldberg) went above and beyond in helping us find a great home and closing the deal. Michelle was a rock star in the process. She was friendly, fun, communicative, and knowledgable. She went above and beyond including negotiating the agreement of sale LIKE A BOSS while on vacation in the Caribbean. Thank you Michelle and Houwzer. Hopefully this is our forever home, but if not... we'll be back!

From start to finish, the team at Houwzer and our agent, Scott Hicks, were fantastic! Scott was accommodating, reliable, detailed, and explained everything to me in terms I could actually grasp. Scott made me feel very comfortable and confident during the process and as a first time home owner, this meant a lot to me!
I would absolutely recommend Scott and Houwzer to anyone looking for their 1st or 50th home! Thank you Scott and the Houwzer Team!
Rob Selby
At first, I was hesitant to sign up with Houwzer; you know the saying: ‘too good to be true’. But I was impressed with their representative Trish, so I took the leap. And I am so glad that I did! I worked with Trish for the sale of my Cherry Hill property and she (Houwzer) delivered excellent service from start to finish. Great marketing, professional pictures, attentive service (always available), smooth technology and the only part that really matters: A FULL PRICE OFFER! Trish and Houwzer delivered. Hire them. Sell. Be happy.

I purchased my first home through Houwzer and i couldn't be happier with the entire experience. I had an amazing agent, and I really felt like a valued customer. I promise that you will not be disappointed, and I would highly recommend Houwzer to anyone looking to buy a home.
Peter Jester
As a new homeowner, my girlfriend Cory and I did not know what to expect. Right from the start, our realtor Stephanie Aurello was able answer all of our questions and make the process as smooth as possible. Stephanie was always extremely responsive to all of our questions, and gave her honest opinion on the biggest decision of our lives. We never felt like we had to make a decision on the spot, and were always given time.
If we buy a house again in the future, we would definitely be reaching out to Stephanie and the Houwzer team!
Alex Tartar
Had a great experience with the folks from Houwzer! Professional, responsible, friendly, and comprehensive. They did everything a full service realtor is supposed to do for half the cost. Special thanks to Howard Smith who represented us on the sale of our home and also to Kevin Baird who represented us on the purchase of our new place.
I highly recommend Houwzer!
Vincent L
What a great experience, Ryan Coddington and Houwzer helped me go through the daunting challenges a first time home buyer faces with ease and simplicity.They were a great team to work with and supported me throughout the process, answering any and all questions or concerns that came up. I'd highly recommend them for anyone looking for a home!
Katy Roussos
My husband and I were looking to sell out South Jersey home without having to pay the 6% agent commission. We tried the 'for sale by owner' route first but just didn't get enough of a response. Luckily, through online searches, we discovered Houwzer! It seemed too good to be true - only having to pay 3% to the Buyer's agent and a small fee to Houwzer yet still getting professional photos and an MLS listing. We met with Trish, Houwzer's NJ selling agent, and she explained the process. Within a week we had amazing photos taken of our house and an MLS listing. 4 days later, we had an offer! Trish guided us through the whole process and advocated for us with the Buyer's agent and lawyer. She was responded to every text an email from us within hours. We really couldn't have asked for a smoother process or better agent! Thanks Houwzer and Trish!!!

Ana and I are soooo fortunate in getting connected with Sommer of the Houwzer realtors.Thanks to her our first home buying experience was easy and painless .She worked with us on our schedule and was always easy to get in contact with. She always kept us in the know and stayed on top of the seller. I would highly recommend her to anyone.
Larry August
We would highly recommend Houwzer, their staff is knowledgable and professional. Plus, using Houwzer saved us a bundle!
Joe Dillon
Sommer and the Houwzer team made the process run seamlessly. We are very happy with our experience and highly recommend them. We sold and purchased our new home with Houwzer and we're glad we made the decision to go with them.
David Rhoads
Danielle Ruffin was amazing. She was very attentive, flexible, and easy to to work with. She understood our needs and what we were looking for. We will definitely recommend Danielle/Houwzer to any friends looking to sell/buy.
Jose Alvarez
This review is about Chad Eason and Houwzer Title. Chad is a very professional, friendly, and knowledgeable real estate agent. Chad made the house search process on his end as smooth as possible, at times going above and beyond to accommodate my schedule and availability. Chad knew what I was looking for and found it quickly. I honestly do not think there is a better real estate agent at Houwzer or in the city of Philadelphia than Chad Eason...Houwzer Title was very thorough, and made the title and closing process a breeze. If you are using Houwzer it makes sense to use their Title Company as well, and of course Chad Eason. Beyond a happy customer, not even a question, 5 stars.
Alexandra Potter
Michelle Goldberg helped & guided us through the process of purchasing our first home, it was a tough process during these crazy times, especially over the course of a year with some unfortunate events happening (my husband broke his elbow) & the market fluctuating into a seller’s market she was flexible and available to help whenever we needed it, and understanding of our needs. Her knowledge and expertise guided us to finding the perfect home for us, closer to family and in the area we had always planned on raising a family. Thank you Michelle for all your hard work and dedication to us! It’s greatly appreciated! We feel we didn’t just connect with you on a professional level but a personal level too. Thank you for everything! 🙏
Joyce Finley
Jorge Santana was a great real estate agent. Very helpful and good suggestions. Helped us thru negotiations with buyers. During Covid it was tough to show the house and keep a feeling of safety but Jorge gave us great tips and guidance thru a difficult time. Would recommend Jorge in a heart beat.
Christine Rode
Back in December we reached out to Mike Jara for assistance in finding a new house in the Philadelphia metro area. We started our search in early January and by April we found our house. Mike was great throughout the process. He was very straight forward and honest with us. He was also very accommodating. We were able to see houses on weeknights and weekends. Mike and the team at Houwzer were very helpful and organized. They made the whole process seamless for us. We are first time home buyers and we highly recommend Houwzer. Thanks Mike!
Tracy Boswell
Sue at Houwzer offered us a complete, professional selling experience. She is attentive and knowledgeable, and helped us successfully navigate the selling process.
doriean broady
Chad is undoubtably the most responsive, competent, skillful and compassionate agent there is. He is great for first time home buyers as he explains all the details of buying and closing on a house in layman's terms. He was always readily available to answer any and all questions or assist in any situation to ensure I got the best deal. I would highly recommend Chad and plan to use him again if I buy another home in PA.
David Hunter
Buying my first home would be stressful enough if there wasn’t also a pandemic going on. But luckily, working with Allison Dubovsky, Houwzer made the process about as simple as it could be. Allison was great with all of the ins and outs of the process, thinking both short and long term, and answering my unending questions.
I can not recommend Houwzer enough and plan on working with them in the future if I ever decide to sell or buy again.
Lara Mc
I met Chad at his Houwzer homebuying class in February 2019. I liked his presentation and looked him up on google and saw he had great reviews so I knew Chad was for me. I reached out to him and we met and begun our search for my very first home! He quickly connected me with Casey Hansen a great mortgage broker to get me pre-approved and we were off! I think all three of us could have never expected all the things that would happen, but I can say for sure that Chad was there with me every step of the way and made everything within his control as smooth as possible for me. Chad and Casey legit did everything they could to get across the finish line and I will be forever grateful for them.
Without a doubt, I would absolutely recommend Chad to anyone and use him again in a heartbeat to help me buy my next property.
Sorry for the late review Chad :)
Shaun Bailey
My wife and I loved our experience purchasing our first home with Houwzer. We began our search in Philly with Paul Knese (who we loved) but eventually moved our looking to NJ. When we did we were put in touch with Erika Arruda and we are so glad we were!! We quickly began to regard her not only as our realtor but as a friend. Erika is an intelligent and caring real estate agent who really came through in the clutch and helped us navigate a serious wrench in the gears so that we could still close on our new home on time and on price. Thanks, Houwzer!
And thank you, Erika. From the bottom of our hearts.
Thayer and Brandi Smith
Ruben Concepcion with Houwzer was the best choice we could’ve made. His years of experience as a listing agent was clearly evident throughout the process. He is always easy to contact, quick to respond and gets the answers you need. Thank you Ruben! From Brandi and Thayer
Mark Suter
My wife and I worked with Chad Eason over a period of almost 10 months. Chad is an amazingly reliable and capable realtor; not to mention, a great guy! He helped us find the perfect home in Center City, Philadelphia. It was a foreclosure property so the process was very complicated and slow-moving, but Chad guided us with patience and knowledge through every step along the way. In the end, we closed on our dream home in an ideal location at an amazing price! We couldn't have done it without Chad -- I would highly recommend him and Houwzer.
Clervius Exume
Excellent experience, especially as a first time homebuyer. I would recommend this company to anyone without hesitation.
Patrick McCaughey
Chad Eason is an extremely helpful and knowledgeable agent who helped make the process of being a first time home buyer less stressful. He was patient and always had quick responses to my questions. He has great knowledge of the entire process from start to finish and was able to walk me through each step as well as provide recommendations for finding a lender, setting up inspections, negotiating, etc. Chad is a great guy to work with and I would definitely recommend him to others.
Kathryn McCluskey
Love Chris Johnson and his team! They sold our house in three days for over asking price. Super supportive and responsive. Made the whole process a breeze. Will never use another real estate company again!! Thank you!
Matt Wald
My wife and I have bought and sold many properties. Forget about the extremely reasonable flat fee for a moment; the level of service that we got from Harry Brubaker surpassed anything we've gotten from a real estate agent before. Great communication and he managed a speedy sale. Strongly encourage anyone in the DC area to list with Houwzer.
Jack Scott
Jim Oliverie at Houwzer helped me and my fiancée find a wonderful house this past summer. Working with Jim was a real pleasure; he was a great resource for us as first time home buyers. He explained all the steps of the process and worked closely with us to get to know what we really were looking for. And then he helped us find just that. He is incredibly friendly and knowledgeable and I can't recommend him highly enough!
Elbert Park
The agents are amazing and it was a very low pressure sales environment unlike some other real estate agencies. I love that Houwzer is a b corp and knowing that a percentage of their profits is going back into the community is just amazing to me. 10/10 would recommend.
Reva Canaan
Weirdly I did NOT end up using Houwzer but I'm leaving a review. I did have a good experience with the first two listing agents but I had a VERY GOOD experience with Stephan Sitzal. He was patient and polite and a good agent. I ended up with another firm for other reasons. I HAD to leave a review though for ALLISON DUBOVSKY who is on the BUYING agent team (I HATE THIS about HOUWZER - I would have used them if ALLISON was a listing agent!!). ALLISON is calm, thoughtful, caring, and understands that a home is an emotional sale/experience and not just a days' work. She is a long term agent and cares about people. I highly recommend both Stephan and Allison. I don't know Stephan as well but ALLISON is AMAZING. Thank you!!
Kathy Hill
Great experience! Trish was very responsive, great marketing and they perform every service any other realtor does, but the cost savings is fantastic!! Makes no sense to use a realtor charging 6% when Houwser charges $2,500 to list and 3% for buyers agent! Smartest decision we’ve made!!
Vanny Kong
I sold my first home with Chris Johnson. It was a little bumpy due to issues that were out of our control but Chris was able to guide me along. He is really easy to communicate with, professional, knowledgeable and super responsive. Very cool guy to work with! Highly recommend!
Heidi Faust
Stephan was helpful, collaborative, and knowledgeable during every stage of our sales process. He was patient and an excellent listener and communicator, and made selling our home a breeze. I would highly recommend Stephan and Houwzer.
Jeremy Terr
Our experience with Jorge Santana of Houwzer Realty was first rate. Jorge was very responsive and always made himself available and helped problem solve all the way to the end of the sale. He was a great advocate for our side of the deal table.
Paula Ruggieri
We sold a house in Philadelpia suburbs and had a full service experience at a fraction of the cost that other brokerage companies charge. Highly recommend Houwzer and Chris Johnson if you need to sell a house in this area!
Abby Harry
Sommer was our agent and was always supportive through our ups and downs. She also was our teacher through the home buying process by always explaining why things were done a certain way. I would recommend her in a heartbeat.
Brittanie Speirs
My Agent, Julie, was by far the best I could have asked for. She and Houwzer never stopped until I found the right home. At no point did I feel pressured to buy, uncomfortable, or alone. She walked me through the process and helped me every step of the way. You'd be a fool to use anyone else, she's by far one of the best. Couldn't have bought my first home without her.
Danielle Bernard
Jason Matthews was and is terrific. He took over as our realtor when our original realtor took a leave of absence. He pretty much held our hands through the whole process, which we needed as new home buyers. We had lots of questions and needed answers. Even after we closed, he is still answering our questions. He answered every email and text we every sent him immediately. A+ service.
Jeffrey DiMieri
Our realtor Dan Jaquish was phenomenal. He navigated a challenging title issue and brought together all parties for a successful closing. We could not be happier with his excellent leadership. He and the Houwzer team were awesome.
Saad Khattabi
Exceptional service both from Howard (who helped us selling our house in KOP), and Jason/Danielle (who helped us buying our new home in West Chester). High level of responsiveness, and knowledge of the market. Always having their clients interest at heart. Special mention for Jason, just unbelievable!!! We highly recommend HOUWSER for any real-estate transaction. Keep up the great work guys.
Saad & Zoulaikha
Brian Brillman
I recently sold a house using Houwzer. Andrew was always available to answer my questions phone or email, and provided excellent, professional guidance throughout the process. They helped me close a quick deal and I would use their service again in the future.
Danielle Barsuglia
When venturing into home buying my boyfriend and I were utter novice. We did some research and had a plan for our finances, being those individuals that haven't been saving for years to make this happen. After finding Houwzer and being connected with realtor Jim Oliverie; we wouldn't of found the perfect house for us without Jim. Jim's vast knowledge of the Philadelphia market and support of never giving up the hunt helped us stay positive that the right house would hit the market. After two months on the hunt, and falling in love with many properties that would fly off the market (as is the whirlwind that is the current Philly market), Jim sent us one lone search that ended up being the house for us. From there he introduced us to a great team of mortgage brokers, informing us that home buying was more affordable than originally imagined. We actually ended up with a 2% grant, low apr rate, and only 3% down. As that couple who didn't save much beforehand, home buying did not end up breaking the bank and wasn't as exhausting of a process as we originally thought it would be. We would have never been connected to the wonderful hardworking people that were set in place for us without Jim and the Houwzer team. We couldn't be happier and highly recommend their services to anyone looking for a realtor. Do yourself a favor and connect with them.
Patrizia DAdamo
Great experience with Houwzer selling our Bucks County home. We worked with Trish who was very attentive, responsive and effective as our representative. I highly recommend Houwzer as well as Trish. Yiu won't be disappointed.
Courtney Collier-Beyer
We had a wonderful experience with our Houwzer agent, Chris Johnson. He knew exactly how to price our house for the market and we received our asking price, in cash! We could not ask for more. Chris is awesome!
Amanda C
The entire team at Houwzer was so helpful and accommodating during the pandemic and made buying our first home really easy! Buying our first home was terrifying, but they were there to support and guide us every step of the way!
Howard Covello
We were skeptical about the Houwzer model.It seemed too good to be true but we took a shot, anyway. What a terrific experience ! The team of, Trish (Gesswein), Ebony and Jim was outstanding.Every call/email/text was answered within minutes and the overall savings was huge.Highly recommend this company !
Julian Blanco
Working with Houwzer through Chad Eason was awesome. From the happy hour introduction through settlement, Chad worked with us step by step. We never felt pressured to buy and Chad was amazingly pro active with any issues that arose. I would definitely recommend using Houwzer.
Valerie De Cruz
Chad Eason from Houwzer in Philadelphia helped me find a lovely home in Philadelphia. I like the Houwzer model - did not feel pressured. Chad was painstaking, patient, thorough, and helped me identify the property that was just right for me. The process to closing was also seemless. Definitely recommend this company and highly recommend Chad! Very nice guy!
Krista Peterson
I can spend hours writing about how highly we think of Jim Day, but I’d probably still fall short of doing him justice. We’ve spent so many nights and weekends since April touring countless houses trying to find the perfect home for our family. We stumbled upon a few that we thought we loved, but with Jim’s expertise of the market and knowledge of what we wanted, he ALWAYS looked out for us with honest feedback about why a home may not be the right fit for our family. And he was always 100% right. When we did move forward on a house and things took a turn for the worst, Jim gave us the confidence we needed to walk away assuring us that the right house was coming. And, of course, he was right again—a short time later, we found our dream home.
Jim walked us through every step of the way from submitting a competitive and accepted offer, reviewing our contract, answering questions and emails all hours of the day, providing outstanding referrals for other industry contacts, and sitting by our side at settlement with as much excitement for us as we had. Jim is more than our realtor, he very quickly became our friend (our 3 yr. old constantly asks if we are going to see “Mr. Jim!”). We are beyond thankful to have shared this journey with someone so kind, genuine and trustworthy. We’re honestly a bit sad that we won’t get to see him as often as we once did, but we are looking forward to inviting him and his family over for cookouts for years to come. Thank you, Jim, for everything.
Jared Carter
We had an excellent experience both selling our old home and buying our new home with Houwzer, and our agent Emily Withers. It would be difficult to overstate our recommendation to partner with Houwzer.
T Hall
I had the absolute pleasure of working with Mr. Gerald Searles prior to hiring him as my realtor. It was one of the best major decisions I made and I’m all the better for it. Not only did Gerald provide me with the highest level of professionalism, he carried himself with admirable character and integrity from the beginning and has not changed.
He remained flexible to my schedule, thoughtful about my location requirements, knowledgeable of the area along with common repairs that would be needed, and went above and beyond when researching the areas to support my safety and overall investment.
Gerald was not required or (due to COVID) allowed at my closing, but drove over an hour to provide me with moral support. He is the epitome of a phenomenal REALtor and I could not and would not ask for a better scenario or professional to go through this life changing experience with.
I am truly blessed and honored to have been able to work with him on the biggest purchase of my life! I recommend him to all of my colleagues, friends and family members.
Maya Turay
Jorge was the best. He helped me every step of the way and responded to all my concerns. My house sold in 4 days after being listed and the closing even with COVID-19 was seamless. Jorge was transparent and felt like an old friend with good advice and care.
Ingrid Pierce
Not only did we save a significant amount of money on our sales commission. Our buyer agent Danielle listened to our needs, pointed out pro’s and con’s of every property based on our wish list, wasn’t looking for a quick deal, helped us navigate a lot of complex land/build issues, was persistent in ensuring things were as smooth as possible.
Ellenmarie Topche
Chad is awesome! He had the impossible task of taking our house must-have list and after a year and a half of many showings, calls, texts, and emails he found it! He always is in a good mood and full of patience. He knows the market inside and out and was incredibly helpful from start to closing!
Joanna Walska
With the help of Kris, we bought a home that is better than we dreamed of! Houwzer was amazing and even despite Covid, made sure closing day went smoothly. I couldn’t recommend Kris enough, he has the patience of a saint and is very knowledgeable.
Tony A
I still can't believe I received the type of service I did for a base fee. Howard was great to work with, he was on top of it from day one. He answered every question and dealt with every issue immediately. I can not thank him enough for all his help. I would absolutely recommend him and his team if you are selling or buying a house.
Andrew Sparks
Stop looking for a realtor right now and hire Houwzer! These guys made the process super easy. You will not be disappointed. My sale was super lucrative and we were able to buy our dream house in a very tough market.
Stephen Ciccariello
We worked with Dan Jaquish and then Julie Harrison while purchasing a new home in Philadelphia. Both agents provided great service throughout the entire process, especially in dealing with a very difficult builder. I highly recommend Houwzer, Dan, and Julie.
Hersh Patel
Houwzer was easy, streamlined, and made the process very simple.
We saved thousands when we sold our home.
I highly recommend Houwzer and our agent Ross was a pleasure to work with!
Kate Seethaler
We had a wonderful experience with Julie Harrison at Houwzer! I would recommend the company, and Julie specifically, to anyone looking to buy a home. We felt so heard and helped in our search for our first home.
Tom Mateer
Just bought a house through Houwzer and they couldn't have made the process easier! If you are planning on buying a house look no further. Their staff is friendly, knowledgeable and will work hard so you don't have to. Thanks for the experience Houwzer!
Lauren Johnson
Isabella helped me find my first home and she was great. From the beginning she was very easy to work with and super helpful. She answered the many questions we had as a first time home buyer. I would recommend!
Cyndie Traynor
We recently had the pleasure of working with Chris Johnson for the sale of our home. Chris was pleasure to work with, provided excellent information and guidance with the selling process & responded promptly to our questions. We recommend him highly, he is excellent!
Nan Lin
Incredible!! Not only is Houwser "Full Service" but I'd say it's BEYOND full service. How many listings have dark, ugly photos taken by the RE agent? Houwser sends a well trained, expert photographer who really spends the time to get everything right - including a virtual walk-thru. Howard and his team did everything beyond expectations including a postcard mailer, open house, professional signage, MLS listing - on-and-on. My listing had multiple offers after 11 days on market. I'd use Houwser exclusively from now on.
Hemant Chavan
Ryan Coddington is by far one of the most professional realtors I have worked with. He was patient with us throughout the process while always having a balanced view towards a potential house. What sets him apart is that he was timely in his responses and very approachable from a client's perspective. You can sense that he likes his job and would give a honest opinion about a neighborhood, overall market trends which was beyond the scope of his services. He was our eyes on the ground and we felt comfortable having him represent us during the inspection process. Goes without saying, I look forward to working him in the near future.
Johanna Bogdan
The Houwzer team was wonderful. Selling and buying house can be so stressful. Jorge and Chad made it an enjoyable experience. I would recommend both of them to anyone.
Tim Grant
Responsive, professional, knowledgeable, and an overall pleasure to work with. With the guidance and skill of our agent, Emily Withers, and the Houwzer team, we came out on top out of 18 offers, 16 of which were over asking. Highly recommend!
Doug Black
Our realtor was extremely patient, walked us through the entirety of the process making us feel comfortable and at peace. He answered every question we had, no matter how silly. He worked with us in a couple of strange housing situations, and walked through everything with us. And all during a global pandemic! Can't recommend these guys highly enough.
Ben Bond
Great experience with Houwzer! Chad patiently stuck it out with my wife and I for over 2 years while we looked for our perfect house. We couldn’t be more pleased with the professional service provided by Houwzer!
Ahren Wartenburg
The best real estate company I have ever dealt with. Chris is very professional and responsive. The whole buying process was so smooth. Highly recommend!
Barry Archambault
Chris Johnson was wonderful to work with. He was always very responsive with both emails and phone calls, and was very knowledgeable. On the rare occasion that he didn't know an answer, he would find out promptly.
He also helped us work through any unforeseen problems and helped explain the whole process to us, who were first time home sellers.
James Cole
Houwzer delivered for us. Trish (our agent) fought the good fight and was able to get a very contentious deal over the line. I would definitely consider Houwzer when you are looking to buy or sell.
Rick
Howard (and team) did a fantastic job as the selling agent for our Chester County, PA home. Full service, experienced, top notch service in all regards. Would sell again through Houwzer in a heartbeat.
Dave K
Howard Smith, our agent was courteous, professional and made this process very smooth and effortless. Will do business with him again for our next home. No question!
nitiraj jamdar
Chad helped us buy our primary residence, and we had a wonderful experience. Chad is very easy to work with, and very responsive. He was patient throughout the process, and gave us input where needed. I would certainly work with Chad again.
Rose Merced
What a great experience we had with Daniel!! He was true to his words!! Everything he said he could do he did and even better. He went above and beyond our expectations!! We will recommend him to all our friends and family!! It was with great joy to have him with us every step of the way!! He truly made our dreams come true!! There are not to many people like him. He is one of a kind!!
Coley
I used houwzer for my recent home purchase and it was fabulous! We use Sommer Mateer and she was the best. She found us our forever home and really listened to our needs. We would definitely recommend using this company. Thank you so much for helping us.
faz buksh
Exceptional service was provided by Allision who was our realtor. She is truly a wonderful person and very professional. I must say her proactive approach got us a great deal and closed it on time. Great buying experience!!
Ryan VanderMeulen
We worked with Danielle Ruffin on the buying side and Chris Johnson on the selling side, and both were fantastic to work with. Our experience with Houwzer was great and I'd recommend them to anyone.
Diane Budmanq
Howard Smith is knowledgeable about the real estate market and put the right price on our home. It sold in 11 days. Howard was prompt in responding to our calls and emails.
Michael Petrelli
Ruben was amazing! We were so nervous about the whole process but he did so much to make our home selling experience a positive one. Got over list and sold in 2 days!
Mathieu Bradier
Houwzer provided good service and made the sale process easy and very cost effective. Jorge and Lea have been helpful and competent throughout the process. Truly innovative company, adding value to its customers.
Jayze Vo
Excellent customer experience with Donna in the Baltimore office. The photos and videos were to die for, and my house was listed as "red hot" on Redfin, it got so much attention! The only slight drawback was that the buyer's agent got MORE than my agent, which makes no sense to me.
Hugo Fonseca
Houwzer promised a simple and new model for the real estate market and they delivered! I am very happy for using them - and especially happy with how great my realtor - Leigh - was in the entire process.
David Huizenga
$500 flat fee for a knowledgable realtor who performed all the services of full-price realtor? Outstanding. Would definitely use Houwzer for buying/selling in future. Howard communicated super-fast on everything.
Michael Studner
Can't believe my home sold in a week. And the commission was only a flat$5,000. Very professional and we knew what was going on every day. They have my highest recommendation.
Margaret Bradley
It made such sense that in an era when we can see so much about homes for sale online and do so much of our own sleuthing that there would be an alternative to the standard 6% fee. Pleased it all worked so smoothly and another young family can enjoy a house that served ours for 54 years.
Alex Spitzel
Their agents will go above and beyond to find the right fit in a home for you, they'll never pressure you into something that isn't good, just to make a sale. I cant recommend them enough. We were new to the area and our agent went out of her way to ensure we found the right place, and answered every question no matter how dumb. They're great.
Richard Pacitti
Our Agent made it so simple for us and was so responsive! Houwzer Realtors is the only way to sell a home in the Future!!!
Scott Nissenbaum
Half the commission with better service and technology than the traditional brokerage? Seems silly to do it the old way.
Alisen V
Ryan Coddington was professional and patient as he guided us through the home buying process - even when we had specific tax issues and contingencies. If you're looking to buy in Philadelphia, I cannot recommend Ryan enough!
Alex Marukos
My agent at Houwzer, Jason, did a terrific job making the buying experience fun and light-hearted. Great effort was taken to keep me on schedule throughout the process, and I couldn't have been more satisfied.
David DeVita
Our buying agent , Lisa Armellino, was such a pleasure to work with, was very attentive to our needs, helpful and accessible at all times. We would highly recommend working with her.
Anthony Maher
Impressed but not surprised. Smart company, smart process, and great end result. I could not have asked for a better agent (Ryan C), better mortgage experience (Casey H.) or title closing (LaRhonda P).
Christian Belluso
Chad Eason: Chad knew the area of Brewerytown (where i was looking) very well, knew the future development in the works and knew of recent purchases nearby (many of which he facilitated). He was timely, friendly, and kept me in close contact to make sure all was going to plan. I felt involved and informed through the process, which couldn't have run more smoothly and stress-free. Brewerytown is BOOMING. Come be my neighbor. Chad will be your man.
Sam Vong
Great experience with Houwzer!! Sell or Buy with Houwzer, you won't be disappointed!!!
David Dixon
Paul was great to deal with in my home buying experience. Very knowledgeable on the areas, market and, buying process. I would highly recommend Paul to anyone looking for an agent.
Lisa Gaudioso
Excellent experience! My listing agent Brandon was super responsive and kept me in the loop on everything throughout the process of selling my house.
I couldn’t be happier.
Colleen Murphy-Grim
Very Professional! We worked with Stephan Sitzai and would highly recommend him. He made what could have been a stressful experience, very smooth. He guided us through step by step; remained committed and available during the entire process!
Michelle Amato
Would definitely use Houwzer again to sell a house. They were wonderful, very organized. And the best part: I saved money!
Elinet Rivera
Scott was great! He helped us through our home buying process and was very professional and reliable. I would highly recommend.
Annice Venable
I'm actually trying to remove a post. My name was used in FB promotion by mistake and that has been addressed. Please note that I am not a real estate agent, so no conflict of interest if I post a negative review. But I don't have anything negative or positive to say, because I am not familiar with this company at all. However it seems I cannot remove a post, and the only way to edit a post is by including a rating.
Scott Sharadin
Wonderful to work with on both buying and selling sides. Got our house sold and us into a new house in about 6 weeks. Great value, great team.
Alyson Showell LaPorta

My man Chad. This dudes a tiger. He showed me a bunch of houses in Port Richmond then he calls me up and is like "Bro, you gotta check out this house, it has a pool." He does all the negotiating and I get this place for a song. Long story short, we high-fived, closing was a breeze and now he shows up all the time in the sweetest European cut swim trunks to go swimming. Dude's doggie paddle is legit. #skysoutthighsout
