Becky helped us find our home and provided the best experience we could have hoped for! We were first time buyers and had no idea what we were doing and the pandemic added a unique and challenging twist. The team she works with, from her inspector referral to her mortgage referral, were all professional and wonderful. Becky was always available to answer any questions that we had and we had a lot! She was quick to overcome any obstacles and made a difficult time feel easy. She gave us confidence that we were making the right decisions and we couldn’t be happier in our new home. Thank you Becky; we couldn’t have done it without you!

You couldn’t be in better hands than working with Raffaellina. She knows the city and is able to help point out what to look for in a property. I felt supported through the whole process, and her responsiveness and attentiveness to my wants/ needs was impressive. She was able to take the things I told her I was looking for and find a number of options that fit. She’s professional and willing to fight for you – but also so friendly and willing to invest herself wholly in your process. I would recommend her to anyone looking for assistance with real estate. 10/10

There are a ton of adjectives that describe my experience with Rebecca – professional, knowledgeable, available, responsive, helpful, understanding, intelligent, empathetic, etc, etc. Those things are all accurate when describing Rebecca, but they aren’t the things that make her special. Rebecca has an ability to always make you feel like your issue/ question/ problem is hers as well and is now her top priority. You always feel that you’re important to her. When working with her, it quickly becomes apparent that Rebecca doesn’t just go through the motions. Rebecca has a special knack for making my goals her goals. But what really sets Rebecca apart and makes her special is the energy, passion and commitment she brings to every interaction. I’ve spent several decades managing people and having Rebecca on your team is a tremendous asset. Rebecca’s skill sets would make her successful at anything she chose to do and I’m just fortunate enough she chose real estate.

Raffaelina has been a wonderful buyers agent for us. My wife and I were not familiar with the area of Philadelphia, and we were looking for an agent that would advocate for us, was knowledgeable and well informed on the area, and more importantly willing to educate us along the way in our home ownership process. Raffaelina delivered on that throughout the whole process, always receptive to phone calls, e-mails, text messages. Raffaelina was very knowledgeable of what to look for as warning signs or good signs in a house. We felt very comfortable communicating with her and trusted her with decisions regarding our first home purchase. When we had questions, needed an education on a certain process and or needed to squeeze in listings into a full day, she was always accommodating and gracious with her time. If you need a buyers agent that knows her stuff, will kick butt for you along the way, and gets it done she is the one for you. My wife and I highly recommend Raffaelina Merlino for any of your real estate acquisition needs.

Rebecca is extremely professional, yet very personable. She is extroverted and is very knowledgeable in her field. She possesses a tremendous attitude, is upbeat, responsive and productive on top of it. I can recall a handful of times where we were sending documents back and forth well into the late evening, in order to meet deadlines, etc. That showed me that she was focused on results and also had the best interest of her client – in this case, me. Rebecca has integrity to the nines and is certainly an asset to the company she works for. I truly believe that she could/ can excel if any profession she chooses. With the determination she carries, it would be hard to disagree with that statement. If I owned my own company, no matter what the company or field, Rebecca is someone I would immediately contact in an attempt to hire, and have her create the culture needed for success in the workplace.

To start, I highly recommend Raffaellina to anyone looking for a realtor – family, friends, you name it. This felt so much more like a partnership than just a realtor and a buyer. I was a first time home buyer and I only sort of knew what I wanted in a home and location. We talked through my preferences and she quickly lined up properties for me to walk through and we quickly started refining my likes and dislikes. We came up with a great blueprint of where/ what to look for. She has clearly done this many times before. I was very impressed with her knowledge of all of the inner workings of a home. She’s on the buyer side, seller side, and construction side of the business so she knew things I didn’t think a realtor would which sky rocketed my comfort with the process. Responses to my emails/ text/ calls were always immediate or timely, and she followed up with my thoughts on everything pretty regularly. Couldn’t be any nicer or easier of a person to talk to. Again, highly recommended.
