Venture Philly Group Reviews
Client Testimonials
Relocating back to the US after several years in France, it was important for me to partner with a realtor with an analytical, focused and a comprehensive perspective. Antonio’s Wharton background and his honest, numerate perspectives spanning decades of experience sealed the deal for me. We appreciated his understanding of our specific brief – that reduced wasted efforts on either side. While I had accidentally spotted a particular property myself, Antonio and his team executed the various process steps superbly and speedily. Antonio’s valuable guidance on pricing competitiveness, and on evaluating the specific quality parameters of the condo were most helpful and appreciated. His candor, his knowledge, his humility and his ready laugh make him an immensely trustworthy, reliable and likable partner. I wholeheartedly recommend Antonio, and VenturePhilly.

We had an excellent home selling and buying experience with Venture Philly! We sold our previous home and bought a new home, closed on both the same day, all in the beginning of the stay at home order of the pandemic. As you can imagine it was stressful but Aaron was so professional, knowledgeable and understanding with all unknowns and moving parts; he was a constant calming presence for us the two of us. We could not be happier with our experience and would recommend Venture to anyone looking to buy or sell their home.
“Had a great experience working with Aaron to sell my condo. As I don’t live nearby, I especially appreciated all of his help getting the unit ready and solving various issues that I couldn’t take care of.” -Greg Berman
I had a great buying experience with Aaron Byles at Venture Philly Group. He was extremely knowledgeable about the market as well as about different developers in Philadelphia and he steered me away from homes built by developers with less than stellar track records.
I trusted Scott Sepkowicz with both my search for the perfect apartment and the sale of a family home. In both instances, Scott was knowledgeable, prompt, patient, and professional. He helped me find a great apartment that I proudly call home & also expertly helped me navigate every step of the home-selling process. He made both transactions smooth & hassle-free. I highly recommend Scott and the great team at Venture Philly for both buying and/or selling a home!
My family had a great experience working with Scott Sepkowicz. He was always there for us with all of our questions and concerns. He made navigating the real estate market very smooth and straightforward. He is the most responsive agent we ever worked with which we really appreciate, and there was no hesitation on his end to go the extra mile for us to get the deal done
Have you ever had to sell your parents’ house under a month? The stress of it all weighs on you. Reached out to Scott Sepkowicz, told him my timeline and what needed to get done. And he took off to the races. Helped find a new apartment to move into, scheduled over 30 showings in a week AND got an offer for over the selling price. In a week. It was relief time and time again, knowing he could be relied on through the process of selling and moving in such a small window. He was there every step of the way; answering all of our questions, asking what we wanted or anything we didn’t understand, and what our expectations were. He went above and beyond and we were blown away to say the least. Once closing time came and went, we couldn’t believe how simple this process was, and really I don’t think anyone could have made it any easier. Thanks again Scott, you really pulled through for us and we’re looking forward to your expertise next time we’re looking to find a new home!
Such a pleasure working with Scott Sepkowicz!!! He worked with us for 9 months to finally find our new home. He was so patient and kind and helped us every step of the way. We are so glad to have had the chance to work with him. Couldn’t have asked for a better realtor.
I met Scott Sepkowicz through a mutual friend when I decided to sell my home. From the initial meeting Scott was gracious and professional. He was attentive and listened to what my needs and plans were. As I gathered things to sort and pack he always remained available to pitch in. When the house was ready to list the photographs where beautiful and he did a tremendous job in posting my home to a wide audience. We were flooded with potential offers immediately and sold within 48 hours!! Could not have been happier or asked for more from an agent! Thanks Scott.
Scott Sepkowicz is such a fantastic real estate agent! Scott was very involved throughout the entire buying process and gave very detailed explanations to my questions. He even referred me to a lender that offered a lower interest rate and closing fees than my initial lender. We looked at a lot of houses and he was quick to schedule showings. Also, I was amazed at how many questions he asked the home inspector and seller on my behalf (most things I didn't even think to ask). It was almost as if like he was buying the home instead of me. I definitely felt Scott had my back and I really appreciated it. Thank you for everything Scott!
Scott Sepkowicz assisted my wife and I in purchasing our first home back in February. We were very nervous in the big purchase and Scott made it a very relaxing experience. He found us a beautiful home in Spring City that checked all of our boxes! He answered all of our questions (and there were a lot!) or led us in the right direction of who could best answer our questions. We felt confident in our purchase and are enjoying our new home!
Scott Sepkowicz and the Venture Philly Group helped us sell our first home and I could not recommend them more! He made the process extremely easy and stress-free. We had our house on the market for awhile before we hired Scott and in his hands it sold within a day over asking price. Not only is he a skilled real-estate agent, he really takes the time to get to know you personally so he understands what’s most important to you. Will definitely use them again in the future!
We have worked with Scott Sepkowicz on three different transactions. Scott was very professional and responsive to our sometimes demanding parameters. We had time limitations and Scott did not miss a beat. He gave us great options, focused on our desires, and did not show us out-of-budget options. The time between contract and closing can be especially stressful and Scott took us through the process with skill and confidence. We highly recommend Scott and we will engage him again.
I bought my first home with the help of Scott Sepkowicz from Venture Philly Group earlier this year. I would highly recommend working with Scott, he made the process clear and smooth. I really appreciated his attention to detail, knowledge, response time and how he listened to me about what I wanted and my concerns during the home buying process. Very professional and great service.
Scott Sepkowicz has been an asset in finding our first home. He's been professional, patient, and efficient in working around the clock to make sure we were supported. We've had to navigate through changing landscapes due to the pandemic but Scott stayed with us through the whole way ensuring we were making well informed decisions. It's been a pleasure working with Scott and finally settling on our first home.
We worked with Scott Sepkowicz of Venture Philly on selling our condo. Even though it was a niche property, we were under contract within 7 days. Scott was very helpful and attentive throughout the process.
We were SO pleased with Venture Philly and our home buying experience with Scott Sepkowicz. My husband and I were looking for a home that we would be able to possibly rent out if needed, and Scott was really great in understanding exactly what we needed and taking us through things that were within budget and really checked all the boxes. We really fell in love with one of those places, and that's when the real value of working with Scott showed. We've worked with other realtors before, and have always felt either somewhat in the dark or like there was always that pressure to settle in the negotiation process, and that was in no way the case with Scott. He really helped us through every part of the process, working with us to make sure we were getting the best deal and ensuring that everything was covered. In trying to figure out where to settle down, I think we've worked with about 5 or 6 realtors so far and have never felt so comfortable or in control of the situation as we did with Scott. It really was a breath of fresh air.
So thankful I went with Ari as my agent, he was thorough, helpful, and unbelievably patient with me through any and all of my requests! I’m so happy with my new place, and couldn’t have done it without him. He negotiated where I didn’t even know it was possible to negotiate! I highly recommend this company, and Ari as well! Would give 6 stars if I could 🙂
BIG THANK YOU to Ari Silverman for helping me and my girlfriend find our beautiful new home in Northern Liberties. Super professional and has a great energy to work with. Ari is very responsive and made us feel that he genuinely cared about our search as much as we did. Couldn’t ask for a better experience. You rock Ari, keep it up!!
Ari was immediately responsive and always easy to reach. Not only was he knowledgeable in the community, he was also attentive to our needs in finding the perfect home for our family. My wife and I are thankful for his help and would recommend him to anyone looking for a home.
Ari was accommodating to our needs and was constantly sending quality postings for us to review. High quality agent, highly recommend!
We were two weeks from our deadline to find a new home and found ourselves in need of a new agent. One person was on our list. Ari Silverman. We met him at an open house earlier in our home search process. We remembered him because Ari is memorable—for all of the right reasons. He's warm, funny, informative, intuitive, and based on the listings he'd been sending since the open house, he understood us. "Of course, I remember you," Ari said when we reached out. And he did, quickly recalling our wish list before asking if we had any new concerns. Besides pandemic home buying in a fast-paced seller's market (!), we were hesitant about new construction because of ongoing issues in our city. That evening Ari sent listings, a top-to-bottom range of our price point, helping us narrow it down to maximize touring time. The following day we were off, twelve days before the deadline. At the end of the day, one home stood out. It was new construction in a small community built by a small company. "Let me get some info here," Ari said. An hour later, he'd obtained the company's history and project outcomes, scheduled an in-person meeting with the builders, and arranged for us to speak with our potential new neighbors about their experience. We visited the home once more and submitted an offer that merged our desires and Ari's recommendations to secure the deal. We felt confident about it, and It was accepted later that evening. We'd beat the deadline by ten days. There is nothing like having an agent who is knowledgeable about the market and neighborhoods, a person who actively listens and then delivers. Ari's solution-driven perspective, presence, acumen, and no-pressure style speak to his ability to meet a client's needs. Our stressful situation became a stress-free experience, thanks to Ari.
Great experience with these guys. Great advise, very responsive, super reliable and friendly staff. I worked with Ari Silverman and he helped me find a great home in the perfect area for me in my price range. Helped me figure out the process as a first time home buyer and I felt very informed the entire way. Thank you again Ari!
My sister and I worked with our realtor, Ari, when we were viewing apartments in Philly. He always went above our expectations, was knowledgeable about each place we went to and was very responsive to all of our questions. Ari took us around one afternoon to view apartment and made us feel very at ease about the whole process. He let us take the time that we needed to make the right decision about our place. He has been a great partner and realtor! Thanks Venture Philly Group!
Ari was fantastic! He always responded quickly to Phone calls and texts. If there was something he couldn’t answer he would make some calls and get back to me promptly. This has been my sixth home purchase and Ari was the best experience I have had !
Ari Silverman goes above and beyond!! He made the process of buying my first home so easy and was there to answer all my questions and help ease any of my stress. Whether you’re a first time buyer or seasoned real estate mogul, Ari is your guy!!
Ari and the team at Venture were fantastic to work with when I was looking for a rental. Ari was responsive, professional and also fun to work with. I've been in my new place for a few weeks now and absolutely loving it - and Ari's been checking in since, too! They really work hard to make sure you're happy and getting all the right information. 10/10!
From the first showings all the way through closing, Ari Silverman was the rock that I needed. I came into the home buying process with a good idea of what I wanted, but I was nervous about the large committment associated with buying a house. Ari gave me the confidence that I needed while respecting my boundaries. When I was uncomfortable with a property, Ari expressed his understanding and was not pushy. Ari's patience and desire to meet his clients needs makes choosing him a no brainer!
Where to even begin?! Venture Philly was something I knew little about just 5 months ago. Our agent Ari Silverman is simply the best ever and is pure gold to say the very least. Ari reached out to me after I had a bad experience with house hunting the 3 months prior. He swept in and landed the deal that had fallen through twice in 2 weeks, in nearly 24HOURS! Next thing we knew we were on the fast track to the home of our dreams. He was very attentive, professional, and thorough in his craft. You do not come across many people like him personally or professionally. He took us finding the perfect home in record time, personal! The home we've landed is absolutely everything we've imagined and we couldn't have done it without him. Ari Silverman and the whole Venture Philly was a whim turned blessing! I highly recommend.
The Philly real estate world better watch out for Ari Silverman. This man knows what it takes to make the buyer happy
I worked with Mitch in search for my perfect home in Philly. Though I had a very specific checklist, Mitch listened to my criteria with the utmost patience. He has such attention to detail and is not only super knowledgable, but very straightforward, direct and honest. He consistently went above and beyond to help me in my search, always looked for properties that fit my criteria and even went to see properties on my behalf when I couldn’t make it due to work. After I was under contract, he worked hard and went to bat for me during all the negotiations. He truly treated this purchase as if it were his own and went out of his way to make the whole process easy for me. If you’re looking for a home, work with Mitch!
I worked with Mitch directly as he helped find a single family home in Philadelphia. He was monumental in helping my three other roommates and I find the place we were looking for. He took us to multiple showings to give us an idea of what the market looked like, taking time out of his weekend to do so. Without him we would not have been able to secure the 3,000 square foot, four bed, four bath house in Northern Liberties the first night it hit the market. Mitch was so quick to respond to any of our questions and needs. I highly recommend going through him for any of your housing needs. He truly is the best and was a pleasure to work with! Thank you Mitch!
Mitch was awesome. He helped us find the perfect rental property, and did not settle even though we were looking for months. Would love to work with him/venture philly group in the future.
We worked with Mitch after months of unsuccessful searching for a rental property in Philadelphia. Mitch was able to quickly locate several rentals that met and exceeded our expectations. Mitch spent an afternoon taking us around the different neighborhoods to let us feel what it would be like to live there and even went to take videos of the unit we ended up renting when we didn’t have time to view the unit in person. Can’t say enough good things about Mitch, Venture Philly Group and the service they provided.
Our realtor, Mitch Gendelman, went above and beyond what I expected in the process of finding our townhouse rental. We had been looking on our own for over a month when Mitch stepped in and quickly expedited the process of finding a place that fit where and what we were looking for. Mitch was constantly in close communication with us days, nights, and weekends. My now roommates and I are very grateful to how diligent Mitch was in finding us our 4 bedroom, 3.5 bathroom, 3000+ sq ft townhouse in our desired location. I would highly recommend Mitch to anyone looking to move in the Philadelphia area.
I recently worked with Mitchel Gendelman to purchase my first home—his attention to detail and knowledge of construction is unparalleled. Not only was he able to get the house for 20k under asking, he was there every step of the way from getting the house under contract to inspection to closing and went above and beyond to make sure the house was perfect and the process was seamless. Above all else, he simply is honest, which can be hard to come by. He was upfront, always forward-thinking and attentive from day one of the journey. Thank you for everything - you treated this purchase as if it were your own. I highly recommend working with this team.
Mitchel is the guy to go to if you are looking to buy or rent! He was extremely professional and make the process extremely easy.
The team at Venture Philly is amazing and made the home buying process in our move from Philadelphia to New Jersey as painless and enjoyable as possible despite Covid adding stress in a fast paced market. Our agent Alec was available at all times that worked for our schedule to set up personal showings at all of the houses we were interested in seeing within hours in some cases. Additionally, his intuition about the offer we made on the home we ended up purchasing was spot-on, and we truly feel his guidance is the reason we had the most attractive offer for the seller. Alec and his team made the closing process easy, safe, and convenient for us. We recommend Alec and the Venture team for anyone looking for an efficient and effective team with experience in maneuvering deals both in Philadelphia and surrounding suburbs. Their personal attention to all details of the home buying process makes a potentially stressful situation much easier to navigate. Consider Venture Philly for a truly concierge approach to real estate.
Venture Philly is the only group I will ever use going forward. Specifically, Alec Palmieri is the best at what he does. I wasn’t the easiest of clients and he was calm, knowledgeable and supportive through every step of the process. Everything that you could ask for in an agent is present in Alec. He’ll be your biggest advocate and get you into every opportunity you need, whether you realize it or not. I went into it looking to buy a house and in the end I came out of it with a great house and a new friend.
Kyle is was very helpful in my journey to finding a new place. He sent me rentals nonstop and set up all appointments fast. Very patient and understanding of what I was looking for in a home. I highly recommend Kyle for your next hunt for a rental or your forever home!
My boyfriend and I recently worked with Kyle in hopes of finding the perfect apartment in the Fishtown/No Libs area of Philadelphia. Kyle was truly so great to work with. I had never partnered with a realtor before so I wasn't sure what to expect, but having him handle the booking of all of our appointments, interface our questions with the property owners, and take care of the logistics for us made our search so much more manageable, especially around busy schedules. He stuck with us for over 4 months to help us find the perfect spot, and was responsive anytime we needed an urgent answer. In the end, we found an amazing place right where we wanted, and would definitely recommend anyone to work with Kyle to help them do the same!
