About Rob Zelem

In a charming suburb of historic Philadelphia, Rob bought his first home in 1993. Rob was a self-starter & he'd just paid his way through a business degree by successfully balancing work & study. He excelled in business. And he loved people. And with that first transaction on Lawnside Avenue, Rob Zelem discovered his passion. It was then he knew he wanted to spend his life helping people make their dreams come true by way of home sweet home. It was quite an unusual time to enter the real estate industry, for NJ was still very much recovering from the '89 recession. There was certainly no lure for anybody who was in it for the money. Only somebody who truly had a passion to serve people would consider entering the industry during such a down market. And many of those folks didn't even enter the fierce waters. Yet Rob jumped in with both feet, and has never looked back since. 26 years later, Rob's passion remains unwavering. And his clients reap the benefits as they gain a leading market advantage through his expertise. Which always begins with a strategic game plan for every step in the buying and selling process based on real-time market insights - with their goals as the driving force. As a result of Rob's exceptional methods, his business volume has a record of being in the Top 20% of the most productive agents - country wide. As a Certified Negotiation Expert, Rob provides skillful direction throughout the negotiation process based on proven strategies for success. That success has made him a recognized leader in the industry.

Rob Nadine Jessica and the whole team at Zelem Real Estate did an OUTSTANDING job selling our house We had a poor experience with a previous realtor and were wary to start again after firing them Our experience with Zelem Real Estate however was a night and day difference We had professional photos done they staged our home with real pieces showings were a breeze they created actual marketing materials and we got weekly updates Not to mention a successful sale of our home What an amazing team Choose Zelem for your next home sale or home buy You wont regret it

He was good in the beginning but after trying to get some issues taken care off Rob was no where in site.people before you deal with Rob u better know what you?re getting into.he works for a contractor who is clueless!I had the contractor come to finish things that needed fixing and still not done.Rob is your guy if you want a quick build house that isn?t really up to par.the people he works for put nails through my siding and no drip edge on my roof!so like I said if u want a quick build not up to par home then Rob is your guy.i had professional contractors here and they are stunned to see what was done on a brand new home!!STAY AWAY PEOPLE!!!

Working with Donna Burnette and Rob Zelem at Zelem Real Estate has been an exceptional experience from the very beginning Donna was my buying agent in 2020 and her expertise made the process seamless With low inventory at the time it was challenging to find a home within my budget that checked off my wish list and Donna went above and beyond She called me one day with I found your home This is it and she was 100 right I was under contract within hours and closed just six weeks later Ive loved this home for nearly five years and now as my husband and I start our married life we wanted to make informed choices about our properties since we each own a homeDonna and Rob met with us for a detailed consultation walking us through the options of selling versus renting and providing real financial examples for each path They guided us through the pros and cons helping us plan for our long term financial success as a married couple They even recommended trusted vendors to help us make value adding improvements to the homeTheir expertise and support have been invaluable When were ready to make our next move in real estate Rob and Donna at Zelem Realty will be our first and only call
