Bill was wonderful to work with! We immediately felt at ease with him and trusted he would help us find the right home for our family, and he did. He is knowledgeable, attentive, and extremely patient, which was especially appreciated. He was super flexible, and able to work with our challenging schedule. Bill took great care to make sure we put together offers which worked for us. He kept us on track from agreement to closing, and made sure we were fully informed and comfortable at each step.

Bill was/is fantastic. As a first time single home buyer, I was very anxious and lacking in information about the process. On our first meeting, Bill immediately put me at ease and patiently answered all of my questions. Throughout the process he responded quickly to any and all messages, and was glad to pick up the phone even in off hours. He gave me great tips which helped me get the house I wanted at the price I wanted. I would use Bill again, and would highly recommend him to any future buyer.

Bill Shelton is the best realtor in the greater Philadelphia area. Period. We were so lucky to have him as our realtor!! With his help we found our dream house and had an offer accepted. He is incredibly knowledgeable about the various areas even down to which streets are nice in a particular neighborhood. He is patient and allows the client to take their time trying to determine what they are looking for and how much they want to pay for it. He never pushes his views on you in terms of how much to put down for an offer etc.. I understand that many realtors do that and push you to go higher because they want their commission quickly. He genuinely wants his clients to find a home that makes them happy. He is also quick to get back to you so that you can swoop in and check out houses as soon as they come up. He is very flexible with his time and is really committed to helping you find a good house. It was such a joy to work with such a dedicated, kind, and all round wonderful person!

14 years ago, Bill sold me the house that I sold this year and Bill was, again, my real estate agent. I live in California and the house is in Philadelphia. To say that I did a minimum amount of work is an overestimation. Bill priced the house fairly and he took care of everything. Everything Bill did was fully transparent and he communicated with me with just the right frequency. Within a very short time, I sold the house at the asking price and I did not even need to fly back to Philadelphia for the closing. On top of being a really capable agent, Bill is truly a nice person. If I were to ever need real estate in Philadelphia again, I wouldn't hesitate to call him.

Bill is professional, responsive and kind. After completing two successful transactions with Bill, I can say that I look forward to working with him again. He has consistently made sure his buyers and sellers are well informed to make confident decisions. Negotiations are thoughtful and clear.

I simply can’t say enough good things about Bill Shelton! As a first-time solo homebuyer, Bill was the calm and knowledgeable guide I needed to navigate a complex and changing market. He was incredibly patient and responsive to all of my questions and concerns (and there were many!). Bill was there for me every step of the way, from looking for homes to choosing a mortgage to navigating the closing process. He was especially helpful with providing recommendations for home contractors to address the specific needs of my property. By the time I closed on my house, Bill was a not only a trusted advisor but also a friend who I would recommend without hesitation to anyone looking for a new home. Thank you, Bill!

Bill is a total pro! We have worked with other realtors before that were okay. But Bill is fantastic! I can say with 100% confidence that he LOVES helping his clients find ideal properties at reasonable prices. Our best friend (who is hard to please) had an excellent experience with Bill and referred us to work with him. When the time came for us to find a new house in the northwest part of Philadelphia, we called on Bill’s knowledge of the market and steady nature to guide our search. What I especially loved about Bill was that he never pressured us and also at times played devil’s advocate to make sure we really wanted to make an offer that fits our needs & budget. Each time we looked at a new house with us, he always reminded us of what we said we wanted. While we did not have to look at more than 10 houses to find our one, he said he would happily look at 100 houses with us to find the right one — and I truly believe he would. In the end, he helped us creatively craft our offer to ensure we beat out the other interested buyers while not over-spending. And when an issue came up in inspection, he made sure everything was taken care of even after a repair was needed a month after settlement. Bill really cares about his clients and we will happily work with him again.

I highly recommend Bill and the Fox & Roach team for anyone looking for a great real estate experience. Bill made sure our house buying experience went well - he listened to what we were looking for and adapted as we shifted priorities in a crazy buyer's market. He is very responsive, kind, and professional and goes the extra mile for his clients.

After enduring a protracted home search I was introduced to Bill on Loretta Witt's team in Chestnut Hill. They helped me to finally close on a great house in a nice spot that checked off nearly all of my wish list. With intense competition in the market, particularly at my price point, I was surprised how quickly we completed this transaction.

I attribute this success to Bill and his expertise in crafting a reasonable yet competitive offer. Bill walked through every detail of the offer to make sure I understood exactly what was involved. He also explained how to construct the offer to be competitive without sacrificing protections against unforeseen circumstances as we navigate the inspection and appraisal processes. Given the type of house, location and price I'm certain I would not have "won" this house without Bill's expertise. Bill and Loretta Witt's team got it done with decades of experience in this market clearly on display.

When we met Bill we were living in NYC and barely knew much about Philly. We had (too) many desires for one home that included two large in-home offices, outdoor space, at least 3 bedrooms AND not a huge budget. We knew these requests were not easy and on top of that, we were first time buyers. Where others might have run from all of our requests, Bill guided us through the process with enthusiasm, patience and expertise. He planned thoughtful day long house seeing tours and made sure we saw everything we were interested in. Once we found all that we were looking for, Bill walked us through the process of buying our first home with so much care and confidence. We hope to never buy a house without him. As soon we have the chance we will highly recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell!

My wife and I had a good experience buying our house. We felt like we could trust Bill and the rest of the agency, and the professionalism left a great impression on both of us. When the time comes to sell or buy again, we already know we can go with Bill and Fox & Roach.

Bill patiently worked with my family for over a year until our estate was ready to sell my late father's home. He checked in regularly, providing referrals for contractors, etc... All of this and never having signed a contract until we were ready to list the property. When it came time to put the house on the market, he had earned our trust. The house was under contract within a week with multiple offers to choose from. Bill truly cares about his clients.
