    About Carla Brandoff

    Carla was born and raised in Brooklyn, NY and came to the City of Brotherly Love in 2010 where she fell in love with the Fishtown area, which due to its Brooklyn-but-even-better vibe (ask me why), just felt like home. Carla's first foray into Philadelphia real estate ownership came with the purchase of 2 investment properties, twin historical trinity homes that needed complete renovations on an unassuming block in the heart of Fishtown in 2012. Shortly after, Carla moved onto a commercial investment, now the sight of the bustling and soon to be expanding Ramona Susan's Bakeshop. Due to her experience with both renovation work and dealing with the city of Philadelphia Municipal Departments, Carla is a wealth of knowledge and resources for her clients. Prior to moving to Philadelphia full time in 2019, Carla worked as an institutional equity trader for Wells Fargo in NYC, a career that spanned 20 years. Working on a stock trading desk is the ultimate proving ground for skills such as: sales, negotiations and financial know how. Carla has taken these skills and parlayed them into her real estate career, where she represents everyone from first time buyers to experienced real estate investors to renters just dipping their toe into the world of Philadelphia. Being an experienced homeowner and investor herself gives her a unique edge in the world of real estate, in addition to her deep understanding of all financial products from her time at Wells Fargo. Carla lives with her family in the University City neighborhood of Spruce Hill and enjoys spending time with family, gardening, walking shelter dogs, promoting Philadelphia's public schools, house design and running outside (Rocky Run anyone?). Carla is committed to leveling up our community, creating a life of fun and abundance and bringing people with her. If you're looking to work with a realtor who is dynamic, creative, patient, and into making dreams come true, call me.

    Carla made my first rental experience so much easier and far less stressful. She helped me prepare months in advance, offering super helpful financial advice and insight into the Philly rental market. Id recommend her to anyone looking to rent or buy in the Philadelphia area!

    Carla did an outstanding job helping me rent an apartment. As a non-resident, the process was a bit challenging, but she was incredibly helpful and supportive throughout. We stayed in contact even before I arrived in the United States, and she patiently explained the details and nuances of the rental market in Philadelphia and created the wish list. Our one day of back-to-back apartment tours was not only productive but also enjoyable. Carla eagerly helped speed up the application process and guided me every step of the way. I couldn't be happier with the apartment I found in Philly. She is very responsive, professional, and adaptable to individual needs. I truly value her dedication and highly recommend her services. Carla is the best!

    Carla was super helpful in finding a beautiful new apartment! She was very responsive and went to showings for me when I couldnt be there. That was a huge help as someone who needed to find an apartment while working in another city. She gave me honest opinions about the units I was looking at which I really appreciated. I would recommend her to anyone looking to move to Philly!

    Carla did a wonderful job helping me and my partner find a rental unit this past fall. We lived several hundred miles away in another state and were moving to the city with somewhat limited knowledge about the neighborhoods and amenities. She scheduled my viewings to all be on the same day and helped me understand the relative benefits/drawbacks associated with each home. We love where we are living now and we are so grateful to Carla for helping us us find it. She was a wonderful supporter/advisor to us throughout the process of finding a home and moving up, and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a home in the Philadelphia area.
