Elan was very patient with me as a 1st time home buyer. Was punctual for our appointments and very professional. The entire process was clearly reviewed with me and assistance from the group was always available. Elan reassured me when I had doubts and was instrumental in finding an excellent mortgage broker. I would ABSOLUTELY recommend.

Elan was wonderful to work with, and we truly found our dream home with him. Elan was smart and thoughtful about everything he did with us — always pointing out important aspects of homes that we would never have thought about, and giving us a ton of professional insights as to what makes a home valuable, and what could make a home purchase risky. But what I think what really sets him apart is how much he truly cared that we found the right home for us. He didn’t want us to simply ‘buy quickly’ if it wasn’t the best fit — and as a result, we really found the best home for us in an ideal neighborhood. We are so grateful for Elan’s help... and he has continued to offer to be helpful even after closing. Would definitely recommend!!

Elan was a wonderful agent to work with, including his team of experts that all helped see me through the entire home buying process--from what I was interested in all the way through closing/signing & the weeks following to make sure everything was to my liking! I'm a first time homeowner and he has made the process much easier than I could have imagined. Fantastic service, very friendly, reliable & polite. I recommend him especially for first time homebuyers. He helped me purchase a home that was above my proposed budget, but was able to connect me with the perfect team to keep me mortgage in the price I wanted.

This review and thank you is late -- but better late than never! Elan and his team help me negotiate the refinancing process AND purchasing a new property. My situation was a bit complex, but Elan and his team navigated it without issue! I will certainly be using Elan and his team in the future for any real estate endeavors! Thank you, Elan! :)

Elan and his team not only helped find our perfect dream home, but made the process easy and enjoyable. My husband and I started out not really knowing what we wanted, but had a few specific must-haves in our house search. Elan and team utilized those specifications to customize our search as well as pushed us to see the bigger picture when house hunting. His team made every accommodation to see each house we wanted to look at. Their professionalism and knowledge of the real estate industry really guided us and we couldn't be happier in our new home. Thanks Elan and everyone who helped in this process.

Elan deftly handled our entire home purchase from beginning to end, and was always one step ahead of wherever we needed him to be. He figured out exactly what would work for us, and made it happen without delay. Thank you!

Late in 2019 we set a goal to purchase our first home within 2020. We had a plan, we connected with Elan, and met first in March of 2020. You know what else happened in March 2020? The world shut down. Fast forward five months and we are happily settling in to our home.

Throughout the process Elan demonstrated:
- Resiliency
Elan pivoted quickly to virtual walk throughs and communication tools so we could still actively search for our next home during 'lockdown.'

- Patience
As first time homebuyers, and relentless researchers, we had endless questions for Elan, which he consistently answered with kindness and patience.

- Responsiveness
Elan was very quick to respond throughout the process to abovementioned endless questions and other points that came up throughout the process.

- Enthusiasm
Despite being a challenging time for everyone, Elan's enthusiasm kept us motivated in our search.

- Composure
Elan kept a calm head in a tricky situation that required settlement to be moved last-minute.

Beyond that, my husband and I both work in demanding fields and had recently welcomed a tiny new member to our family. Elan worked with us to chat and book viewings (when we could finally do so in person!) on our schedule so we could focus on work and being first time parents.

While I hope your experience is *not* like ours (buying a home during a pandemic is stressful!), you'll be in good hands with Elan, whatever the world looks like when you're ready to buy.

Elan was very helpful throughout the entire process especially for a 1st time home buyer new to the Philadelphia area- would highly recommend!

Elan was detailed, professional, and responsive to requests.

Another great opportunity to work with Elan. I have used him both in the buying and selling process over the years. The entire team provided great service from initially listing the property and through the entire sales process

His team is prompt, diligent and professional. Elan is always on top of everything. I look forward to working with them again in the future and highly recommend Elan!!

Just purchased our first home with Elan. After trying for months with Redfin, it just proved that today's market (especially in Philly) is too complex and competitive to go that route. He was professional, passionate, and a great friend throughout the process. This experience really showed how valuable it is to have the best realtor at your side!

I worked with Elan to buy our first home and now with our second. Wouldn't utilize anyone else in the Philadelphia market. Elan got to know us and when searching for homes knew what we were looking for and more importantly knew what to look for in terms of value. My second home purchase, another easy transaction with Elan!

Elan is a true professional. He patiently worked with me for over three years to help me find the perfect home. Then he negotiated every detail with calm and care. I could not be happier with the end result--I am now moving into the most beautiful home, perfectly suited to my family, and one I thought I would never own!

I just closed my second property with Elan. He is extremely knowledgeable about the Philadelphia real-estate market and has your best interest in mind. He's great at what he does too - one of the reasons why I won a bid on a sought-after property was because he knew about certain strategies that other real-estate agents are not as familiar with. I absolutely recommend Elan and his team - They will be honest with you and find you real estate that you will be happy with for a long time, whether it's an investment property or your forever home!

I had the good fortune of meeting Elan while searching for a property to purchase. Elan was in close communication during the whole search, and finally was able to introduce me to sellers who had not yet placed their house on the market. The house was, and continues to be, perfect.

Elan has a great work ethic and is on top of everything. He's flexible, and responds to your developing thoughts about properties. He was never pushy, but always friendly. He also knows what he is doing, and was able to identify numerous problems / solutions with the guts of homes we looked at.

He's an all star, and I will certainly call him in the future.

When my husband and I first started looking for a home together, we got in touch with Elan and could not have been more pleased with the experience. He very patiently showed us nearly forty houses over the course of our search, including several that hadn't even been listed yet that fit our tastes perfectly. He took care of every detail along the way, and now we're thrilled to be living in the perfect place to begin our lives together. I would definitely recommend working with Elan whether you're buying or selling, although he'll really be the one working for you.

"I recently had the pleasure of using Elan Elkaim from Coldwell Banker Preferred as both a seller’s and a buyer’s agent. In both parts of this transaction, Elan stood out to my husband and I as someone who we knew we could depend on.
As a seller’s agent, Elan worked with his associate, Noah Ostroff. From the beginning, both conducted themselves with professionalism, enthusiasm, and pride. In a down market, we were unsure if we would be able to get what we needed in order to make our move possible. From the start, Elan and his partner worked very hard to make sure our home was accessible on a number of multiple listings, as well as used social media to advertise our home. In what seemed like no time, we had three offers on the table, and Elan and his partner used their skills to negotiate fair offers on our behalf.
As a buyer’s agent, Elan showed himself to be nothing short of superb. He patiently went with us to look at many houses before we found “the one.” Though this house was initially way outside of our purchasing range, Elan again used his unbelievable negotiating skills to get us the house at a price we needed, which was far below both asking price and fair market value.
I would not hesitate to use Elan again in the future if the need ever presented itself. I have already passed his name on to several friends, and would enthusiastically recommend him to anyone who needed an agent. He is professional, trustworthy, and hardworking, and makes what can be a very difficult process pass flawlessly."

Had a great experience with Elan purchasing my first home! He pulled together an amazing set of listings to look at after I had made just one inquiry about a property I had seen online. He made me feel very comfortable as a first-time buyer, answered all my questions, and was extremely professional and responsive throughout the entire process. He is also just a super nice guy and he definitely had my best interests at the forefront from day one to closing. Would 100% recommend!

Elan is very professional and hard working for his clients. He always makes sure they are getting the nest deals and takes care of their needs from start to finish. I'd recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell their house in the Philadelphia market.

Kristen and I had been friends since 5th grade and were looking to rent an apartment in the city together. Having no intention to buy, we first looked at over 10 apartments. Then we were introduced to Elan who showed us that purchasing a home could actually be affordable. He found us a house that was under construction months before it hit the market. Best of all, the house came with 2-car parking, a rare find in the city. We were able to customize the house and move in a few months later. It has been over a year since then and we couldn’t be happier! We highly recommend Elan for his service and access to the market!

"I recently purchased my first home and Elan was my realtor. He was very helpful and eager to help me find just the property for me. He walked me through the entire process step by step, which was a big help! He was available at anytime to me if I had questions. He kept in contact with me throughout the process to assure that I was updated, answer any questions I may have had or just to see how I was doing. He was truly a pleasure and great at what he does! We found the home that I was looking for on our first outing together! I was truly impressed, as I assumed it would be a long process ahead before finding the perfect home. He definitely had my best interest in mind throughout and through all of his connections in the real-estate business he was able to refer me to a number of people, which in turn saved me a lot of money. I cannot express in words, how grateful I am that Elan was my realtor! I would gladly recommend him to my friends and family because I know that they would be in good hands! Besides that, I would myself use Elan again for any other home I purchase."

Elan helped me find my first house, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. Not only do I love my new home, but Elan also made it easy to enjoy the process that lead to this major purchase. Whether I called at 8 in the morning or 10:30 at night Elan was always available, and if he didn’t have an immediate answer to my questions, he always found someone who did and got back to me with exactly what I needed to know. His passion for real estate, knowledge of the industry, and genial demeanor made him a true asset in my search for the perfect home, and I would unquestionably use him again.
