Carol is superb realtor and at this point I have used her services twice. In one persona Carolcombines uncanny knowledge of the local real estate market, no pressure approach, and easyand precise communication. With her you always know where you are in your sale or purchase process and without a doubt she will get you the best results possible under current market conditions. She is open and honest and those are the qualities I value the most.
We couldn’t have been more blessed and lucky to have been given Carol’s name as a realtor. From day one and all the way to close on our new home, Carol and her associates have been kind, always responsive, informative and she always listened to what we were wanting and hoping as well as giving us great information about what was truly feasible while keeping our desires in mind.When we first reached out to Carol we were just in the discovery phase of looking for a home, even though we weren’t going to buy right away Carol didn’t hesitate to help us to learn more about the area and even spent a whole weekend (with our 2 year old in tow and during a pandemic being completely masked up the whole time) showing us several houses in many areas for us to get a feel for where we wanted to put down roots.After that trip, it took us a few months to truly be ready to seriously find a home and during that time she gave us our space, just reached out once to check in and always answered our questions quickly anytime we texted.She made the whole process feel easy and that we had someone in our side helping us all the way- especially once we placed an offer and through to closing. Not only do we feel that we got so lucky finding such a great realtor but we also feel we have made a friend! Thank you Carol for helping to make our forever home a reality! Call her you will not be sorry!!!!
My husband and I spoke with a number of agents by phone before deciding to work with Carol. We were first time home buyers and also new to Philadelphia, and we wanted to find a realtor who would not take advantage of our lack of experience in both respects. From the start, Carol was incredibly patient, honest and friendly and we hit the ground running. We saw a number of houses, some at the higher end of our price range, but Carol was meticulous in helping us assess potential issues with the house honestly. When we eventually found the house that met our needs, Carol was responsive and supportive throughout the entire process of inspection and negotiation with the sellers. Through her years of experience in the industry and this area, Carol has a great network of real estate-adjacent industry experts and professionals, and we ended up relying on her recommendations from everyone from our mortgage lender to plumbers and electricians. We have now been in our new house for six months and couldnt be happier to recommend Carol as a realtor.
As a first-time homebuyer, I couldnt have asked for a more knowledgeable or helpful professional than Carol. She was considerate, informative, and genuinely took into account our needs and wants. We love our new home and we have Carol and her expert work and advice to thank for it!
Carol is truly great to work with! She advised us on how to prep our home for sale and how to market it - and she was spot on! We had a line of people down the block waiting to see our home for sale, and as promised she delivered high quality offers. Other homes on the block for sale still just sitting there - dont be them! I would recommend Carol to anyone looking for an experienced realtor who can get it all done.
We bought a new construction in 2018. Carol was a joy to work with. We found a house at the price point we wanted that we were able to customize. Carol answered all of our questions and got us to where we wanted to be. I would highly recommend Carol for any home buyer. In fact, we were referred to Carol by close friends who also found their home through her.
Carol was absolutely the right person to use as our buying realtor for Northern Liberties. As a resident of the neighborhood, she was up to date on the housing options, the builders and even the local restaurants to try during breaks in our house search. Once we put a bid on a house, she was always readily available to meet us there for appraiser, contractor, workman appointments pre-closing. And, she (and Andrew) were very timely with paperwork, updates, and any assistance that we needed.
I had the pleasure of working with Carol Diament 15 years ago. She was so professional and we had such a great experience, we looked her up when we decided to move in 2020. Carol showed us she is still in top form when she sold our house in three days. She is patient, hard working, and Carol offers honest guidance. She recommended another Realtor associated with Compass Realty — Kelly Bernardyn, a shrewd Realtor who also provided top, stellar service — to buy our new home since we were relocating from the Philadelphia area.
Carol helped us both purchase and eventually sell our home in Philly. She is very knowledgeable about the nuances of Philadelphia neighborhoods and the market dynamics. She was very responsive, made suggestions on how to best show the home and worked to market our house through social media and open houses. If you are serious about buying or selling a home, you’ll want Carol to represent you.
Carol Diament is by far the best real estate agent! PERIOD! As a result of job change, we again had to figure out how we were going to sell our property. Since Carol had done a great job finding us the house 6 years ago, it was obvious that Carol would be our sellers agent. I cannot begin to say how challenging that process was, especially the stress of having to moving far away, but Carol did the most unbelievable thing: She was able to keep our house on the market and ensured that every little fix was settled.Despite a lot of hurdles that came with selling a house, she kept us informed and guided our decision making. Every choice she made ended up netting us more than if we had decided to not follow her recommendations. We feel very lucky that we had such a wonderful real estate agent, and I will forever owe a debt of gratitude for the incredible selfless work she did in making sure we got the best deal. I wish I had someone like Carol to help me with my new home search in my new city!
Carol is awesome. Top-notch. Great realtor. Great intuitions. Great skills. Honored our time and focused on what would be right for my wife and me. Carol helped us buy our house and we are DELIGHTED. Perfect house. Perfect neighborhood. I recommend Carol highly -shes the best.
Carol was our agent for both selling and buying our homes. Our goal was to sell without having to go into temporary housing, which is tough in this market. Carol helped us get there despite difficult twists and turns that we could not have anticipated. Her advice was right on the money from staging to pricing, and her negotiation skills unmatched. Through it all, Carol provided both the objective logic and kind support that that my husband and I needed. She knows her craft inside and out, and has an intuitive sense of where to go next. Which is why I call her the realtor with the #midastouch!
Carol was exactly what I needed from a realtor as a first time homebuyer. I cant have imagined going through this with anyone else.
We loved working with Carol. She is very kind, gave honest advise and was always very prompt with our requests. She even bought us a bottle of champagne and wrote a nice card when we bought our apartment! Would recommend her to everyone who is looking for an apt in Philly!
Carol is a Philadelphia gem. Her local market knowledge, expertise, responsiveness, general smarts, honesty, and patience made my real estate transaction efficient and with no stress or anxiety, especially in these uncertain times.I highly recommend Carol for the aforementioned skills and because she truly cares about each and every one of her clients.
Carol came strongly recommended by close friends who had worked with her to find and purchase their home. Were extremely happy with the home and would recommend Carol to anyone on the market.
Carol is wonderful! She managed to have all the benefits of someone who is calm and easygoing while still getting things done extremely quickly - response time often within minutes. We had an aggressive timeline, under a month to buy a house. To top it off, during that time we were out of the country for 2 weeks. Carol still managed to find us the home of our dreams! Working with her was like working with a friend. She was super honest, very helpful and down to earth. She never pressured us to look at houses outside our budget or try to push us to look in neighborhoods we werent interested in. She also gave us tips for maintaining our new house. Lastly, she is a true local and knows Philly inside and out - a true real estate gem!
Carol is a phenomenal agent with what seems like an endless knowledge of neighborhoods and contractor resources. She and her team are highly organized and made the process of buying a new home a seamless process. We came to Carol by referral for our move to Philadelphia from out of state, she listened to our needs and put together/ constantly updated a great list of listings for us to see when we came. She took the time to go see listings on her own for us before we arrivedto see if they were worth showing when we did visit - we had limited time and she didn’t want to waste it. Carol continuously showed that she cared about us and our relocation and wanted to ensure our happiness, not just get us into a house. I would highly recommend her as an agent.
Weve worked with Carol on two home purchases and one home sale over the course of five years, and she has been a wonderful partner throughout. Carol has worked tenaciously to ensure that we got under contract quickly on our dream homes and was a reassuring voice and vigilant advocate as we negotiated a challenging sale. She went above and beyond in providing guidance and perspective on loans, inspection, and repairs and always had our best interest at heart. We are greatly indebted to Carol for her invaluable support.
Just finished working with Carol. As I have utilized many real estate agents in the past, I can say that Carol is one of the most professional and hard-working agents out there. Never any pressure, and always looking out for what is best for the client. We toured dozens of houses in our price range, and trekked all over the neighborhoods we were interested in. Carol quickly understood our tastes and needs, and did a great job of narrowing down the prospects for us. Also a great source of local knowledge about the City and the real estate market. Carol turned what can be a tedious process into a fun experience. I recommend her highly.
As a second time home buyer, I was not ready for the market conditions which left me feeling hopeless and second guessing my decision to sell my first home. I appreciated her honesty about the market conditions and her readiness to create an strategy to help me attain a great house in an amazing neighborhood. Another of Carols qualities is her ability to deal with anything that comes up along the home buying process in a calm and poised manner. In addition, I am so grateful for her willingness to do whatever it took to make my life easier even after closing. For example, when there was a delay during closing, per her suggestion she drove to my new home to allow the movers to start unloading the truck. As soon as I finished signing the last of the papers I drove to my new house and there she was watching the movers unloading the truck.
Carol is extremely knowledgeable about the Philadelphia market as well as all of the steps to complete the transaction. She goes above and beyond to make the process as painless for her client as possible. She personally gets involved to resolve issues and questions in a way that one does not normally see from an average agent.
Carol has been our real estate agent to sell and buy a number of homes for us due to our differing needs over many years. She understands what a client wants and has the skills, experience and savvy to find it efficiently. We always felt she was totally focused on our efforts and went out of her way to be sensitive to our priorities. She was truly a pleasure to work with!
Carol made looking for a place, visiting my top choices, and finalizing the deal seem easy. She was timely, and intuitively knew exactly the types of places that I would be interested in seeing. We found a place in record time and it was a very pleasurable experience; between her friendliness, responsiveness, and skill, she is a real estate agent that you will be glad you met along your journey to find a home.
Im an out of state seller who recently used Carol. Getting my property listed was delayed for several years due to circumstances out of my control. Carol kept in touch the entire time and when I was finally able to pursue the sale of it Carol got the job done quickly and efficiently.
I had a very difficult selling experience, due to numerous factors outside of anyones control. In short I encountered construction defects and structural damage to my home that required over a year to repair, and as a result Carol was my agent through two different selling processes on the same house. Through everything she was extremely attentive and showed a great deal of knowledge about every part of the process, even the unusual parts. For instance she gave me advice and provided research when I thought I might want to rent the property (I didnt in the end) and sent recommendations for contractors, even recommending contractors and even a stucco contractor when I needed one.And she had the patience of a saint. In a difficult and uncertain 18 months, Carol was about the only professional I dealt with who was a reliable source of information, an invaluable resource not just in the selling process but in other areas in which I sought her advice, and who I felt I could trust.She will stand by you and look out for you, even if your situation is unusual or difficult. Highly recommended.
