ZillowVERIFIEDI cannot recommend Max enough! His patience, diligence, and commitment throughout our home search was truly exceptional. He took the time to genuinely understand our vision, helping us distinguish between what we wanted and what we truly needed, never rushing the process and always keeping our long-term goals in mind. Despite our packed family and work schedules, he consistently worked around our availability and made us feel like a priority. Finding a home in our preferred location while keeping our children in their current school district was a very specific challenge, but one he embraced wholeheartedly. Thanks to his persistence, expertise, and dedication, we ultimately found our dream home in exactly the area we hoped for. Max made what could have been an overwhelming process feel manageable, and we are incredibly grateful for his partnership every step of the way.

ZillowVERIFIEDWe had an exceptional experience working with Maxim Shtraus on the sale of our townhome in Warminster. What impressed us most was that he didnt even need to put the property on the open market. Through his extensive personal network and relationships, Maxim secured a qualified buyer from the very first showing. Not only did he bring a buyer immediately, but he also negotiated a sale price that set a new benchmark for townhomes in our community. His market knowledge, strategic approach, and ability to connect the right buyer with the right property delivered outstanding results that exceeded our expectations. Throughout the process, Maxim was professional, responsive, and transparent. He made what could have been a stressful transaction feel seamless from start to finish. If youre looking for a realtor who truly understands how to leverage relationships, maximize value, and deliver results, I highly recommend Maxim Shtraus. His ability to create opportunities off-market and achieve record-setting sales speaks for itself.

ZillowVERIFIEDI reached out to Max from a recommendation to help me sell my elderly mothers home, and I am very thankful that I did. Max was able to meet me at the property the same day and right away put together a strong marketing plan. From the beginning, he made me feel comfortable, and also helped my other relatives feel comfortable, even though at first they were not so sure about the process, the price, and the strategy. Max explained everything clearly and gave us confidence that we were making the right decision. There was no time to waste. His team quickly arranged photos, got the home on the market, and in the end we received an offer over the asking price. Through the whole process, Max and his team guided us all the way to settlement. He even helped coordinate the deed package so I could sign before I had to leave for my overseas trip. It was truly a white-glove service, and I would highly recommend Max to anyone looking to sell their home.

ZillowVERIFIEDFrom start to finish, Max has been an absolute professional. He was responsive, resourceful, and consistently went above and beyond to accommodate our needs, even with the challenge of us being out of state. Max took the time to understand what we were looking for and suggested several suburbs outside of Philadelphia that aligned with our preferences. He then dedicated an entire day to personally touring us through the neighborhoods, ensuring we felt confident in our decision. In fact, the home we ultimately purchased was one we had initially overlooked on ZillowaEUR"Max encouraged us to take a closer look, and his insight proved invaluable. He always provided thoughtful guidance without ever being pushy, which is exactly what you want in a great agent. Beyond his expertise in real estate, Max is also incredibly well-connected, with strong relationships in title services, lending, and contracting. His network helped make the entire processaEUR"from pre-sale to closing and even post-saleaEUR"seamless. He even attended closing on our behalf and took the lead on coordinating work in the house before our move-in. Our family cannot thank Max enough for his patience, dedication, and deep knowledge of the market. Its no surprise hes one of the top agents in Pennsylvania, and we wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.

ZillowVERIFIEDMax was my buyer's agent during one of my largest transactions and helped me all the way from the beginning till the end of the process, which culminated in a happy ownership of one of the most beautiful properties in Phila's Fishtown. He diligently acted as my advocate and an adviser trying to minimize my expenses, sometimes at his own expense, which is very much appreciated. I highly recommend his services and advice.

ZillowVERIFIEDMaxim is a complete gem and the total package when seeking a realtor. I recently purchased a condo in Philadelphia and every part of the process was made easier and better working with Maxim. His knowledge of Philadelphia and all the surrounding areas was incredible and made touring various properties far more engaging and enjoyable with the history and city dynamics he would share in each neighborhood. Another aspect I loved about working with Maxim was his knowledge and experience when it comes to builds, materials, design and architecture. His expertise in this area aded another layer of confidence in my purchase that was unexpected, unique and very appreciated. And when it comes to communication, Maxim is second to none. True can't say enough wonderful things about Maxim!

ZillowVERIFIEDI had the pleasure of working with Maxim Shtraus when selling my home, and I couldn't be more grateful for the experience. From the very first meeting, Maxim demonstrated professionalism, expertise, and a deep understanding of the market. What stood out the most was his attention to detail and dedication to ensuring my home was presented in the best possible light. He provided excellent advice and communication and ensured the listing was seen by the right buyers. So much so, that my home was only on the market for 2 days before an offer was made! Thanks to Maxim, my house sold quickly and for a price I was very happy with. I truly felt that he had my best interests at heart from start to finish. I highly recommend Maxim Shtraus to anyone looking to buy or sell. He made what could have been a stressful process smooth and stress-free.

ZillowVERIFIEDMaxim Shtraus is a great realtor that we were lucky to work with as we looked for a new home to purchase. While this process was challenging and tedious at times, Mr. Shtraus proved himself to be an irreplaceable professional who helped in every step of our real estate journey. From the very beginning he made the indelible impression of someone who genuinely cares about the clients to whom he provides his services. While Mr. Shtraus provided insightful and helpful advice about the variety of homes in our region and the housing market itself, he also made sure to inquire about our preferences as well, carefully balancing our wishes with what the market had to offer. Regardless of which home we viewed, Mr. Shtraus always provided a detailed description of all of the aEURoeprosaEUR? and aEURoeconsaEUR? of each location, allowing us to make an well-informed decision in the very end. We strongly recommend Mr. Maxim Shtraus to anyone who is currently looking to buy a home (or any other real estate needs) or who is considering doing so in the future.

ZillowVERIFIEDOur Mom needed to sell her condo quickly, and Maxim knew just how to get it staged and on the market quickly. As issues pop-up, he was responsive and help to negotiate solutions in a timely manor. Even when at the last minute, the seller changed the closing date, Maxim was able to work with me so I didn't have to lose additional days of work. He's professional and knowledgeable and knows the area and market very well. Maxim never strong armed us, but always gave us the options and his advice, which is really appreciated when dealing with unknown real estate issues. A top notch agent to whom I'll be going to when I'm ready to sell and buy my next homes.

ZillowVERIFIEDWe listed our house with Max back in the Summer of 2022 when the market wasnt so bad. We needed to renovate a few items since the house was built in 2004. Once the market turned for the worst, it was very hard to find buyers. Throughout the whole selling process Max has been there for us every step of the way. When the buyers came around and became interested in our house, Max had our best interest at heart. He spent lots of time with them going through the tour of the house explaining the smallest of the details. He is an experienced agent with lots of real estate knowledge. He was very responsive, day and night whether it was by text, phone or email. We will definitely recommend him to our friends and family for all of their real estate needs. Thank you for standing in our corner through this not so easy time. We got to the finish line with your help! ??????????

ZillowVERIFIEDIt was a pleasure working with Max as I was purchasing this condo. He was very knowledgeable and his communication skills were exceptional. I had many questions and never waited for an answer. I felt as if I had a partner instead of a realtor since he was always in my corner. He put my mind at ease when I got nervous about anything. It is a big decision to buy real estate and I would not hesitate to call Max again.

ZillowVERIFIEDAs first time homebuyers, up against an expiring lease, entering the most unprecedented market - we were nervous, to say the least. Max was nothing but gracious and attentive throughout the entire search and settlement process. Answering all of our questions and addressing any concerns at all hours of the day, we couldnt have asked for more in a realtor. Look no further for peace of mind and the smoothest buying process - Choosing Max was the best decision we made.
