Phil did a great job for my wife and I. My wife's dad passed and we needed to sell his home near Philadelphia. We live in Ohio so the sale could have be a real difficult one for us. Phil and his team took over and did everything needed to complete the sale, and in record time. They scheduled minor repairs that were required for the sale, and took care of anything that would be required to hasten the sale. All of this while we stayed in Ohio, no need to go back to Pennsylvania. The price the property sold for was excellent and we are completely satisfied with Phil's integrity and performance.

ZillowVERIFIEDPhil is an excellent agent. He is personable, charismatic, deeply experienced, and above all, a zealous advocate for his clients. We purchased a home with him in 2015 and are looking forward to hopefully purchasing another home with him in 2021. Highly, highly recommended.

ZillowVERIFIED Phil helped me with both the purchase and sale of my first home. Phil always had informed responses to all of my questions whether they were about construction or the purchase/sale process. Phil is not only part of your team but operates as the cool-handed mentor throughout the process. He thoroughly explains all of the processes and scenarios that come up. Phil's knowledge and demeanor instills confidence in you as the buyer or seller in what can be a very stressful time. I would highly recommend Phil and his team for both your buying or selling needs.

ZillowVERIFIED Phil was great to work with. He listened to what I was looking for but also provided information and asked questions that went beyond the purchase (e.g., features of the house that might be hard to resell down the line). He was extremely responsive to any questions I had. Any time there was a bump in the road he already had a solution. I would definitely use him again.

ZillowVERIFIED Phil helped us buy a home in 2012 and after an fire incident at the home this year, he helped us find the perfect rental home, while we wait for repairs to our home. He is the best in the business.

ZillowVERIFIED Philip is a true expert is his field! He is professional, honest, and responsive. He will not shy away from giving constructive feedback, but will also provide valuable insight gained from years of experience in real estate. He was our best advocate when we faced with a potentially unfavorable issue. With that said, we would highly recommend Phil to my family and friends! Thank you for your top-notch service, Phil!

ZillowVERIFIED Phil was very great to have for agent so helpful and knowledgeable,really got us through the painful times. whenever we would call Phil to look at houses regardless of the time Phil would be available. Things that were complex to us about house searching he would explain. I learn to realize how juggling his job was we had the luxury to concentrate on finding a house while Phil communicated with the seller's agent, the lender,and the title company. Phil again we thank you for your time,patience,and understanding we really like the house you help us find.

ZillowVERIFIED My husband and I had an excellent experience with Phil. In fact, this is the second time we've used his services. He helped us buy our first home in 2016. When we decided to sell it this spring (2018), we contacted him to be our listing/selling agent because of the positive experience we had with him before. He's very professional, attentive, knowledgable, and we felt confident with him every step of the way. In our case, his experience with VA loans was invaluable. I would absolutely recommend him for anyone buying or selling a home, and especially for USAA customers who will be financing with a VA loan.

ZillowVERIFIED Phil assisted me with the purchase of two condos in the Graduate Hospital area of Philly. He is very knowledgeable about the city and skilled at what he does. He is a consummate professional and patient. I highly recommend Phil for buying or selling a home.

Review for Member: Philip Cavalcanto
ZillowVERIFIED Phil could have worked harder for us. At times, it seemed like he could have done more and been more proactive. My apartment wasn't furnished making it seem unattractive. Us, the clients, had to suggest that he stage the place. Also, he originally listed our place at a certain price. He thought it could sell for that price. It ended up selling for much less. I don't know if his knowledge the area was wrong, it he gave us a large number to land the contract, or what.

ZillowVERIFIED My wife and I move a lot with relocation, and we have had a range of Excellent, Good, and OK realtors. Phil was excellent! His industry expertise, local knowledge, responsiveness, honesty, and hard work really made us trust him and his opinion. Phil understood our needs, and worked diligently to make our move to Philadelphia a reality. My wife and I could not recommend Phil more! Thanks Phil!

ZillowVERIFIED My wife and I were both so lucky to have used Phil for our first home purchase. His expertise, patience, and responsiveness made us feel secure and informed. When he took us through a few homes earlier on in our process, we knew instantly that he was great because he did not push anything on us. He pointed out both the good and the troubling aspects of a home instead of pressuring us to buy. When we finally found the house that we wanted, Phil had so many great negotiation tips that our first bid was accepted and I am so happy to be writing this from our new living room now. We were mentally preparing ourselves for such a tumultuous experience because of all the home buying horror stories that we have heard, but with Phil, we always felt cared for and attended to. We could not recommend Phil more.

ZillowVERIFIED There were so many things I needed guidance and advice on as a first time homebuyer, and I'm so thankful to have had Phil by my side through the process. He's professional, quick to respond, and he made sure to get evening appointments so I didn't have to miss work to see homes. I recommend Phil 100%.

ZillowVERIFIED It is rare these days to find someone so invested in and serious about their job, that also puts their client's best interests first. Phil is a great man and I was extremely lucky to have a friend recommend him to me as a realtor. Having Phil on my side was like hiring both a lawyer and a realtor, and he really helped me through the stressful process of purchasing my first home. I'm already recommending him to friends in the Philly area. Thanks so much Phil!!

ZillowVERIFIED Phil shows great commitment and will do what it takes to listen to your needs versus trying to push a sale for his own benefit. He gave us good input on things that were actually counter intuitive to our thinking but does so with plenty of experience to back up any recommendation he has. One can tell he goes above just trying to do what it takes to get by as an agent by being part of other networks and attending the things necessary to stay current with market trends and strategy. If I were to move back into the area he would definitely be our first phone call.

ZillowVERIFIED My wife and I met Phil at an open house he was hosting and we both knew immediately that he needed to be our real estate agent. He was knowledgeable, professional, honest and enthusiastic. Once working together, Phil provided us with appropriate listings and showings, offered his advice and opinion we asked and ultimately found the right home for our family. I would highly recommend Phil Cavalcanto to anyone looking for a real estate professional.

ZillowVERIFIED From the beginning of our home sale experience to its conclusion Phil provided us premium service. He priced our house higher than the other agent we interviewed and got us 100% of our asking price the first week our house was on the market. Phil helped us stage our house and complete required paperwork. He coordinated the buyers home inspection and represented us at the closing so we didnt have to be there. We highly recommend Phil.

Review for Member: Philip Cavalcanto
ZillowVERIFIED Phil is an incredible realtor. He is patient in terms of allowing you to come to terms with the property that best works for you. He is insightful in terms of giving you his honest opinion about the strengths and weaknesses of a property. But what he does particularly well is expressing those strengths and weaknesses in terms of what works. That is, he'll provide an honest and open assessment of why he thinks property matches or doesn't match what you want in a property. He is extremely knowledgeable. His understanding of the Philadelphia market is impeccable, but he also has the range to buy and sell in the greater Philadelphia region. He is also an exceptional negotiator. Having bought two properties and sold one with him, there is no question that we got a good deal. Perhaps most importantly, I never got the sense that he was pushing us to buy a house in order to close a sale, but that he was there to do whatever it took to get the property we ultimately wanted. I have absolutely no reservations about recommending Phil to be your realtor.

Review for Member: Philip Cavalcanto
ZillowVERIFIED Phil helped us sell our old house at a great price, then patiently guided us through the home buying process over the course of more than a year, as we changed our minds about our housing needs and desired location, due to our growing family. He expertly navigated us through our search in both Philadelphia and the suburbs, and was very knowledgeable about both regions. Along the way he answered every question we had to our full satisfaction. We would be more than happy to work with Phil again, although we plan to stay in our new house for some time to come, so the next best thing we can do is recommend that others work with him!

ZillowVERIFIED Phil could not have given us a better experience buying our first home. We knew nothing about the process, the considerations, or even the market in the area where we were looking. He was trustworthy, knowledgeable, incredibly responsive, easygoing, and above all an incredibly friendly person to work with. I never thought I'd be so thrilled about the ethics and integrity of a real estate agent, but Phil and his team completely stand out in this regard. We really lucked out being placed with him. He has tons of experience, and clearly does his work in order to generate happy returning customers and good word-of-mouth, which means there are no games and no pressure, no withholding of info. He is so well established that he can streamline the entire process, from looking to move-in day; he helped us arrange some remote transactions for closing and there were tons of really convenient digital options for signing off on things along the way. Truly a refreshing experience to have such good care and service for any industry, especially this one. We still get holiday cards from his office!

ZillowVERIFIED I've recommended Phil to several friends. He's a dedicated resource, answering questions and communicating promptly. He walked is through our first purchase, which included a competitive market, an escalation clause, responses to house inspections, and our withdrawal of an offer.

ZillowVERIFIED I bought my first home with Phil almost 10 years ago. He is the most responsive and knowledgeable real estate agent I have ever worked with. Even now when I've considered selling the home (which I now use as a rental) Phil is always willing to take my call and give me advice. I've purchased and sold two homes since with other realtors and none have even come remotely close to Phil's service, professionalism, and ease to work with. Simply the best!!

Review for Member: Philip Cavalcanto
ZillowVERIFIED Phil is a consummate professional who took charge of an emotional and stressful situation--moving our Dad from his home of 62 years to a condo community--and turned the process into an efficient, effective, well-oiled machine. The sale went quickly and smoothly, each step laid out thoroughly by Phil and his team, and we could not recommend him highly enough. From our first meeting, he took charge and supervised all the work--paperwork, inspections, negotiating, to a most equitable conclusion for our family. Furthermore, working nights and weekends is not a problem for Phil and he was always there to answer questions or to resolve any hiccups that came our way. I can most certainly recommend Phil and his team with the highest admiration without question or reservation. My family is deeply grateful to Phil and his team, and we are very glad he was our agent!

ZillowVERIFIED Phil helped my husband and I find the perfect house this year. He listened to what we wanted, and patiently let us formulate our own opinions before giving us his expert advice. I especially appreciated that Phil took us to a few houses that weren't what we were looking for - to show us what our money could get us elsewhere. He was very knowledgeable about neighborhoods and comparable home prices in the area, which was very helpful. He was able to give us insight about parking, resale, and commuting. Phil had helped buy and sell other homes in the neighborhood too, so he gave us great insight as to how our home chalked up in comparison. I have recommended Phil numerous times to friends looking to buy. Not only is he knowledgable, but as first time home buyers he was able to walk us through the process in a way that was easy to understand.

ZillowVERIFIED My husband and I have worked with Phil on buying our first home (with an FHA loan), selling that same home and buying another; in all 3 instances he was knowledgeable and extremely helpful. He was always very responsive and respectful, even when we had questions that were well below his pay grade. We've very confidently recommended him to close friends and would use his services in the future if needed!

ZillowVERIFIED Phil and his team were simply amazing in the process of buying our first home. Naturally we had a lot of questions and were nervous about things that in hindsight seem silly - but no issue was too small for Phil to jump on to make sure we felt confident and comfortable with our purchase. We absolutely love our new home, and can't thank Phil enough for his help! We will definitely seek him out again for our future real estate needs.
