Buying or selling a home isn’t just a transaction—it’s a team effort. Whether you’re purchasing your first home, upgrading your space, or expanding your investment portfolio, having the right people by your side matters. In a real estate market full of choices, Philly Home Girls is distinctive because of our teamwork, transparency, and commitment to our clients. Here’s what sets us apart and why our team might be the perfect fit for you.
1. Team size, volume & recognition
We are an award-winning team of real estate agents focused on Philadelphia and the surrounding suburbs.
We are the “#1 Large Team by sides in Philadelphia Metro Area (2021-2025),” meaning we’ve handled more transactions than any team in our size category.
Because our experience is based on volume, not price range, we offer more resources, infrastructure, and internal support (our marketing team, transaction manager, and leadership) than many solo agents or small teams.
We are so appreciative of all the 5-star reviews from 800+ clients across Google/Facebook/Zillow/Yelp. Their testimonies are the true story of how we do what we do.
What this means for you: Choosing a REALTOR ® on a supportive team like Philly Home Girls gives you access to agents with the most, high-quality, experience in Philadelphia, our surrounding suburbs, and NJ. We have internal systems that keep things smooth and tidy, and an at-the-ready admin team that is working behind the scenes on your purchase or sale.

2. Focus on relationships over transactions
Our mantra is “We don’t sell houses; we sell homes, and our business is based on relationships, not transactions.”
We hold ourselves to the high accountability of being responsive, honest, communicative, and providing guidance, with the goal of making the process simple and stress-free.
Our core belief is to always do the right thing for the long term. We exemplify the highest of professional standards in our industry, and that wouldn’t be possible without prioritizing the ethics of our business.
Why this might matter: Real estate can be stressful, but it won’t be if you align yourself with a team that provides high-quality and effective communication as a standard of service, guides you through the process, and remains agenda-free (i.e., focusing on you rather than the “what’s next”). We keep it real, we keep your best interests in mind, and we curate a custom real estate experience especially for you (including an invite to our epic client appreciation parties)!
3. Local independent brokerage & community orientation
We are affiliated with a local brokerage, Elfant Wissahickon Realtors, not a national franchise.
Each dollar spent at an independent local business (like a real estate brokerage) returns an average of three times more money to the community than it would at a national franchise.
We all live in Philly and the surrounding suburbs, AKA all the neighborhoods we serve! We know the local joints, the ins and outs of the neighborhood associations, and many of your future neighbors are already part of the VIP PHG family!
Our agents have diverse backgrounds in hospitality, creative arts, design, and the list goes on. This supports our attention to client relations and incomparable service, not just buying and selling.
What this means for you: If supporting local businesses and working with true neighborhood experts matters to you, Philly Home Girls is the right fit. We’re deeply invested in the communities we serve—from sponsoring local youth sports teams and volunteering our time, to showing up at the polls and supporting neighborhood initiatives. We’ve also created neighborhood guides, walking tours, and shop-local lists that spotlight our clients’ small businesses and favorite local spots. When you work with us, you’re not just getting a real estate team—you’re partnering with people who are genuinely connected to and invested in Philadelphia.
4. Customized search, wide property scope
Within your specific location, budget, and non-negotiables, we set up a custom home search for you. You pick what you’d like to see, and your agent will get you through any door.
While we’re always happy to show Philly Home Girls listings, our scope goes far beyond our own inventory. We’ll show you any property on the open market that meets your criteria, ensuring you never feel limited or steered in one direction.
Our full-time agents work closely with a wide network of buyers and sellers, often connecting clients before a home ever goes live—creating opportunities that don’t always show up online.
What that means for you: You get the best of both worlds. With Philly Home Girls, you benefit from full-market access paired with insider knowledge, early insights into upcoming listings, and strategic matches that help you find the right home—or buyer—faster and with less stress.
At the end of the day, buying or selling a home is a big moment—and you deserve a team that shows up, knows the city inside and out, and genuinely has your back. Philly Home Girls is equal parts experienced, connected, and fun to work with (yes, those things can all coexist). If you’re looking for smart guidance, honest conversations, local expertise, and a few laughs along the way, we’d love to be your team. Whether you’re just starting to explore or ready to make a move, we’re here and can always fit you in for a consultation!
What do you do when you’ve inherited a house? How do you sell a home from a loved one’s estate? What will happen with your home after you pass away? These are common questions we get in this industry. To help answer them, we sat down with Steven Zelinger, an attorney that specializes in estate planning and probate.
