We had an outstanding experience working with the Ian Perler Team at KW Empower, and especially with our realtor, Cat Lavell. Cat helped us sell our home in Brewerytown for $10,000 over asking and we were under contract in less than a week—during a time when only five other homes over $400,000 had sold in our neighborhood over the prior three months. Our home also spent the least amount of time on the market compared to those sales.

Beyond the impressive results, Cat was truly exceptional to work with. She was thoughtful, devoted, and incredibly supportive throughout the entire process—far more than any realtor we’ve worked with in the past. She went above and beyond at every step, kept us informed, advocated for us, and made what could have been a stressful experience feel manageable and even positive.

We couldn’t recommend Cat Lavell or the Ian Perler Team highly enough. If you’re looking for a realtor who delivers results and genuinely cares about her clients, Cat is the one.

We first worked with Ian a few years ago when purchasing an additional Residential Property, in Manayunk, to be used as an Income Producing Rental Property. The experience was Great. This month we wanted to Sell one of our other Income Producing Rental Properties. Ian and his Team Handled Every Detail Perfectly, including Recommending Responsible People for any Painting and necessary repairs needed, prior to Listing the Property. Yes, we WILL be using Ian for future Purchases and Sales.

I am thrilled to have Ian Perler in my BNI professional networking circle. Although we haven't had the opportunity to work together directly on a transaction, I've been consistently impressed by his deep knowledge of the real estate market and his dedication to client satisfaction.
His professionalism and passion for real estate make him a valuable asset to both clients and colleagues alike. I highly recommend Ian to anyone looking for a reliable and skilled real estate professional. And look for his upcoming “Pearls” of wisdom regarding everything real estate!

We couldn’t have asked for a better realtor than Cat to guide us through buying our first home! Cat is incredibly knowledgeable, attentive, and thoughtful in her communication. She’s skilled at explaining things in a straightforward way and as first-time home buyers, we always felt like we understood every step of the process and prepared for the next. Cat prioritized us making decisions that felt right for us and not about just getting the sale done. We never felt rushed, judged, or pressured in any decision-making and always felt comfortable in asking questions and sharing concerns. She’s a realtor you can trust to be on top of all of the ins and outs of the home-buying process and to advocate for and support her clients. We feel so lucky to have had such a wonderful realtor like Cat and highly, highly recommend her!

Cecilia on the Ian Perler Team was knowledgeable, responsive and patient with my husband and I. We were looking for a bigger home in order to accommodate a growing family, and she was able to help us with finding our forever home. She was even understanding with us when we wanted to take a break due to the craziness of the market, but in the end she helped us get exactly what we were looking for without forcing us to do anything we weren't comfortable with. Definitely recommend!

Cecilia and Ian were very helpful in both finding properties that suited us as well as meeting the many deadlines through closing. They also provided a significant help in negotiating with sellers (thus reducing our stress levels during the entire process). I have worked with them several times and would happily use them for my next purchase.

Cecilia on the Ian Perler Team has been incredible to work with. My partner and I approached her, knowing very little about the home buying process. Now, we are confidently navigating our way toward our first home!

Cecilia has helped us learn everything we need to know about buying in NJ/PA and has even connected us with a trusted loan officer. She has gone above and beyond in helping us understand the process of buying a home step by step.

I will be recommending Cecilia and the Ian Perler Team to every colleague and friend who is considering buying a home. If you are a first-time home buyer, I absolutely recommend the Ian Perler Team!

Ian and his team were great to work with during the entire sale process. From the moment we decided to sell to the when the sale was completed, my wife and I I were kept informed and up to date the entire time.
Ian helped ensure we listed at a price that was competitive by providing a list of recent sales in our building and equivalent properties nearby and we achieved a sale price that satisfied us. Arranging and agreeing to showings was easy through the use of the MyHome app and we were notified of any last minute changes by call or text. We also received weekly status updates regarding number of showings and commentary in regards to buyer interest.
During the completion of the sale, Ian and Ed provided a detailed checklist of what needed to be completed and when and ensured everything was plain sailing. A thoroughly knowledgeable and professional outfit I would thoroughly recommend Ian Perler services to anyone.
