Testimonials
Giselle is extremely competent!! Thorough and knowledgable.
Working with Giselle to purchase my first home was one of my best choices! She is incredibly knowledgeable in real estate and the current market, highly responsive, dependable, and so easy to work with. Giselle also has an incredible team of experts, including a lender, that got me a great first time buyer package! She made every step of the process super easy—ranging from an initial town tour, making an offer, and all the steps to get me to the finish line! 11/10 would recommend to friends and family!
I want to thank Giselle for everything she did in connection with the sale of my home. She put the price higher than I thought possible and handled every little crisis that came up with confidence and efficiency.
I don’t know if people go around asking for references when they choose a real estate agent, but if anyone does, send them my name. I will chant her praises in iambic pentameter.
Giselle is literally the most knowledgeable and thorough realtor I have ever had the pleasure of working with. She had so much insight on the different neighborhoods we were interested in and had multiple houses to show us that perfectly matched the parameters of what we were looking for. She had answers to every question we came up with and even answered ones we hadn’t thought of yet. There is no one I would recommend more highly to entrust with your home buying journey
Awesome realtor! Very supportive and always there to help you! I don’t think I will ever work with a different one.
We were relocating from north NJ to Collegeville, PA and Giselle was recommended by our family friend and realtor from NJ. After we selected 10 houses from the expansive list, she meticulously planned to tour of all of them in one day! She is a very professional and knowledgeable realtor. Her calm and composed demeanor takes the edge out of home-buying stress. We found our home on the very first day and Giselle helped us win the bidding war like a boss. She made the whole home-buying experience very smooth. With her helpful attitude, she makes sure her clients are in good hands after the buying process ends. Highly recommended.
Giselle is an excellent, very professional realtor. She knows her subject, explains clearly the topics in a pleasant manner. I highly recommend working with her, which my wife and I have done twice in Five years!
I was looking for second home near one of our offices to accommodate frequent extended stays in the area. Giselle was very accommodating and understanding given that I was searching for a property remotely. With a tight schedule for viewing properties and a changing real estate market, Giselle suggested different methods of seeing properties, including the use of video chats for virtual tours. Ultimately, I was able to find a great property in a convenient location that had what I was seeking. Giselle made the process enjoyable and rewarding.
Giselle Bartolo was the super and fun real estate professional my wife and I needed in finding our perfect home in Philadelphia! She was always there when we had questions and supported us the whole time, and as first home-owners, we had a ton of questions.
I am a first time homebuyer, and even though my family is supportive and knowledgeable, I still needed a lot of guidance and know-how. Giselle was amazing from the start: she contacted me immediately and not only helped find properties to show me, but Giselle was able to connect me with a great team of professionals who helped me through the pre-approval and mortgage process. When I was getting discouraged, Giselle hooked me up with a specialist who was able to, with his knowledge and experience, get me a great interest rate. Giselle is honest and did not hesitate to tell me if she thought I should not go with a place. Giselle was able to answer all of my questions, and made sure that I was understanding the entire home buying process, taking time to explain everything to me, including what Radon is and why she makes sure to include it in her clients’ home inspections. I have already told friends that if they are going to buy a house, they should use Giselle, and I will continue to do so. Thank you so much, Giselle, for all of your hard work and assistance – you helped me find the perfect place for me!
I don’t know if we would have found our dream house without Giselle’s help. Not only was she on top of contacting the seller and mortgage company whenever we had a question, but she also made herself incredibly available to meet or simply talk over the phone about concerns we had about the home buying process. She’s thoughtful and detail oriented which always put me at ease. In over a year of working with Giselle to close on our new construction home, she has also helped many of our friends find their perfect homes. Thank you Giselle for all you’ve done for us! We couldn’t have done this without you
Giselle went so far above and beyond for my husband and I to lock down the perfect investment property. This market has been so tricky and Giselle did a great job helping us navigate everything. We will recommend her to everyone in the future and will be using her for all our future properties!
Giselle is patient, kind, and extremely transparent. She stood beside us (through bidding wars and all) for over 2 years until we found the right home for our family. She is extremely competent in her field and was able to provide the best guidance and strategies during the negotiation process. I am happy that we met her and I would recommend her for anyone looking to buy a house. She is simply the best!
Thank you for all of your help with the listing, sale and settlement of our father’s condo at Pritchard Place. You made everything run smoothly and quickly. Diana and I are so grateful for your attention with all of the details. Many, many thanks!
Giselle is a pleasure to work with! She helped us find a lovely apartment in East Falls that fit our needs and our budget perfectly. Giselle has extensive knowledge of the Philadelphia area and was very passionate about helping us find the perfect fit! After finding many great options and helping us sort through them, Giselle catered to our schedule to show us numerous places in person. She was always very responsive and helped handle the paperwork quickly and efficiently so we wasted no time in landing our dream apartment. I would highly recommend working with Giselle!
Giselle and her entire team were an absolute pleasure to work with. They made the entire process of purchasing a home seamless and easy with no bumps or surprises. Giselle was extremely organized and was continuously in contact with me via text, e-mail and phone to keep me updated and informed of each step in the search and purchase. I wouldn’t hesitate to contact Giselle again on my next home purchase.
I consider myself lucky to have met Giselle. Her professionalism, attention to detail and communication skills are excellent. She is very knowledgeable about the real estate industry and meets challenges with such grace. She is very calm, patient and positive and makes the process very easy and manageable. She is also very proactive and keeps you informed about what may be expected next. Giselle’s excellent problem solving skills have helped us with a very challenging home search and purchase. Her work ethics are beyond anything I have seen and it is such a pleasure to work with her and to be in her company. She is an amazing young professional who understands her clients needs and will help you find the property that meets your needs. Her communication skills are amazing and we have already recommended her to a few friends who are now huge fans of her!!!
Giselle was amazingly reachable and capable throughout the process of selling my home. Experienced in many possible scenarios, she was knowledgeable and confident in explaining how it might be best for me to proceed. She offered guidance and was consistently thoughtful, balanced and fair. She went beyond the extra mile, going instead the extra half-marathon, providing staging furniture, ironing out tricky matters that crept up, coordinating meetings, and making countless helpful and necessary calls, not to mention trekking hours out of her way to meet with me personally at my new home. Giselle has a cheerful spirit and can-do attitude that made the sale of my home a pleasure. She possesses integrity, saying what she means and standing by her word. Thank you SO much, Giselle! I really appreciate you!
Giselle is a gem! I definitely recommend using her. From start to finish she is professional, smart, efficient and willing to go the extra mile. Use her! Oh and P.S. She got me a great price on the sale of my house!
We are both very excited about moving into this fabulous home in this wonderful location. We can’t thank Giselle enough for all her hard work. We feel so positive about having ended up in a place that is just right.
Giselle was great to work with! She was super helpful, amazingly responsive, and always knew the answers to my questions. I’m pretty sure she answered every text I sent her within five minutes. She was great at listening to what I wanted and showed me a lot of places that were exactly what I was looking for. I’d definitely recommend her to anyone who was looking to buy or rent in Philadelphia!
Without question Giselle is the most knowledgeable, detailed and professional realtor I have ever worked with. When you combine that with her pleasant demeanor, and unrelenting work ethic I cant possibly imagine purchasing another home with anyone else. She stuck with us from the first viewing, all the way to the settlement table which lasted more than a year. Not exaggerating, Giselle is the very best!
She was quick and incredibly dedicated. She went the extra mile and was very knowledgeable. Her response time was amazing and overall she is a great person to work with.
Giselle is incredible. Her knowledge of the market and houses in general is vast and impressive. As a total newcomer entering the market to buy my first house, Giselle made me feel secure and at ease despite an intimidating amount of uncertainty.
For every house we looked at together, I could count on her to advocate for me every step of the way. She always gave me her honest opinions about every house we toured, often alerting me to significant issues that wouldn’t have even registered with me.
She was ultimately able to find exactly what I was looking for, all within a couple months of working together. I can’t recommend Giselle highly enough. If you want to work with someone who is incredibly responsive, delivers great results, and makes the whole process as fun as it can be, don’t hesitate to call Giselle.
Giselle was such a pleasure to work with! She is extremely responsive to e-mails and messages and so reachable. She is also very knowledgeable about real estate and she will answer ALL your questions. We appreciated her honesty and her professionalism, especially during the more challenging parts of the process. She is also always on time and very organized. When she promises she will check on something for you, she will! You do not need to remind her or chase her which makes the process so easy. We felt so secure having her work with us! In addition, she deeply cares about her clients and she genuinely wants to help. Last but not least, she is able to anticipate what comes next and reaches out as necessary so you feel ahead with her. We wish her luck in everything she does and we plan to work with her in the future!
From the first phone call, Giselle was understanding, responsive, knowledgeable, and helpful. Not only did she help us find a wonderful home, but she treated us with a dedication that was second to none. She blew us away, taking calls and texts on holidays and weekends. She even called in on Zoom to our home walkthrough. Even after closing, she has helped us navigate home ownership and helped us get what we needed from the builder. All in all, she’s an incredible Realtor and we would, and have, recommend her to anyone who is looking to buy or sell in the greater Philadelphia area and Main Line.
Giselle is hands-down the best realtor we have ever worked with. We tried 4 times to buy a home before meeting her, made at least 10 offers, and could never seem to get an offer accepted (even several that were over asking!). The other realtors we worked with never really seemed engaged, proactive, or like they genuinely wanted to help us.
Giselle, from the beginning, was very hands-on. When we first moved to the area from another state, she helped us secure a rental, identifying great potential properties and taking us on multiple FaceTime tours. She’d even point out flaws with properties we might not have noticed / known to look for to help us avoid renting something we’d regret. We ended up in a great place that we enjoyed for 2 years.
When we were ready to try buying again, she was our first phone call. She helped us:
(1) time our entry into the market to get ahead of other buyers
(2) introduced us to a fantastic mortgage consultant. They helped us run different financial scenarios so we had a clear picture of what we could afford and what all of the numbers would look like ahead of time (for free btw!)
(3) proactively identify properties that met all of our requirements (and actually LISTENED to what we wanted)
Within about a month, we made our first offer for a home we loved, and it was accepted both under asking and with a full inspection! She helped us negotiate all of the repairs we wanted and the ideal close date we wanted.
If it sounds unreal, it certainly felt that way. The entire process was about as close to perfect as it could be. Giselle rocks and we could not recommend her enough.
