We had a great experience with George Maynes. We were moving to Philadelphia from out of town so didn’t have a good feel for the city or the different areas. We were able to give George our criteria for a rental property, including what was essential, desirable and "definitely not”. Before our relocation he prepared a list of properties for our evaluation. We reviewed and provided comments. Closer to viewing day he sent an updated list of properties available that satisfied our criteria. The day we met George he took us to 7 properties, a combination of those on our shortlist and some he thought would also be suitable. He was able to tell us honestly about each property and the area each was in, including proximity to work, nightlife and amenities. We never felt pressured by him to choose any particular properties. Once we chose a property he provided guidance on the application process and helped us navigate new services in the city including gas, electric, cable, etc. The move in process was very smooth during what could have been a very stressful period moving from one city to another. We highly recommend George.

Being first-time home buyers, my husband and I were very naive about the home-buying process and had a lot of questions. From the beginning, George made sure he knew what we were looking for in a home, suggested neighborhoods and homes that he felt were a good fit, and walked us through the pros and cons of the different houses that we visited. He was very knowledgeable about the real estate market in Philadelphia, the process of purchasing a home, and was able to answer pretty much any other question we could think of (ease of renovations/updates, permits, parking etc). George seamlessly guided us through the very daunting process of buying our first house. He was honest, continuously available (often making time for last minute house viewings and always reachable by email/phone) and was very sincere in making sure that we were happy with our decision/purchase. We ended up buying a home in a neighborhood suggested by George (that we had not considered) and are very happy with our new home and community. I have recommended George to my friends and will continue to do so. He was wonderful to work with!

I was a first-time home-buyer looking for a place in Fishtown. I was intimidated by the overwhelming amount of information I needed to know. My anxiety was eased by George who explained absolutely everything about every step along the way. George did an amazing job at showing me homes that were in my price range and within the area I was looking. He knew why the homes were priced the way they were based on location, updates, etc. He was extremely knowledgeable and shared it freely. At no point was he pushy. In fact, I was surprised by his easy-going manner. It made him so easy to work with. He not only helped me find the perfect home, but assisted me in finding insurance, financing, and an inspector. I shopped around for all of those things and Georges recommendations came out on top every time. The process of buying my home was insanely easy. I am still baffled by how simple the process was. I watch a lot of home shows and I expected the worst, but constantly was surprised and delighted by how helpful everyone was along the way.

Weve been in our new home just over a month now (sorry for the late posting), and are still silly happy about our new house. To begin with, George sold my old house. Apparently, he gave me some pretty good advice on how to show it because it was sold (under contract) in less than a week at full asking price. Really. Then we went looking for a new place. George found us a house that worked both of us. He got us a good deal for a place that was so hot it was on and off the market in a flash. George was easy to get in touch with and made us great recommendations for a lender and home inspector. He walked us through the process and made it easy find what we were looking for. I really appreciated his advice and helping us figure out what was really important to us and what to look out for. And he was patient with me when we were looking for a needle in a haystack. George helped us find it. We hope to enjoy this house for many years to come. I recommend him to anyone I know who is selling or buying in the area.

I highly recommend George as an agent, he’s amazing! Before going with him, I was blindly matched with a selling agent through sending an online inquiry about a house –a few houses & a lot of frustration later, what a nightmare. That’s when someone recommended George to me, and in no time he was able to find me the perfect house & within my budget. In a whirlwind of paperwork with a fast closing, George and his team were there every step of the way to make the process a lot less overwhelming! He was knowledgeable and honest in all areas, from the house search through settlement. He was in constant contact with myself & the selling agent while under contract, and was quickly able to get me responses for any questions I had (and I can’t say enough about his impressive negotiation skills!). He is professional, reliable, honest, well-informed, and makes himself readily available to his clients – he’s everything you want to represent you when making such an important life decision!

Simply said, George is amazing! We were looking for our first home in the Philadelphia area - coming from a tiny apartment in Manhattan, we truly didnt know where to start. We contacted George, gave him a few of our must-haves, and he immediately got us started looking at listings online and setting up showings. He worked with our somewhat difficult schedule and was able to show us everything we wanted to see on the weekends, primarily Sundays. George not only listened to what we said we liked, but also watched our reactions to different houses to pick up on the things we werent saying as well. He walked us through every part of the process and made sure everything went off without a hitch - from making our offer until the sellers handed us our keys. Ive heard how stressful the homebuying process can be - not so with George, which is why we will recommend him to everyone and wouldnt dream of ever using anyone else. THANK YOU!!

Moving is always stressful, compounded with the fact that this was my first move out of state. I was looking for an apartment in Philadelphia while living in Boston, initially on my own. George was recommended to me through a friend and I am incredibly glad I reached out. George Maynes was certainly the best and most personal realtor with whom I’ve ever worked. Even with such a busy schedule and many clients that I’m sure he has, it felt as though he was giving my girlfriend and me all of his attention. He was willing to go listings I was interested in to take videos since we were out of state and consistently check up on us regarding current listings and made sure our applications and other documents were in promptly. I would highly recommend George and his group for certainly any newcomer to Philadelphia, as working with him made a stressful process much smoother and more enjoyable.

I recently purchased a home and used George as my real estate agent. As a first time home buyer he made the entire process extremely easy. Multiple times, I even mentioned that it seemed like the whole process was too good to be true because aside from the normal stress of buying a home, it was significantly less stressful than I had anticipated. The whole process- from looking at homes, to hooking me up with mortgage people, to recommending a home inspector, to the settlement and even beyond- was incredibly easy to understand! George seemed to know what I was looking for before I even told him and I ended up with the perfect little house in Port Richmond- which is saying a lot because Im pretty neurotic and can be picky at times. I would definitely recommend George to anyone starting the process of buying a home!
