“Holly Reynolds is top tier. From my cold call to her outside a house with a sign to the farewell after our purchase closed and even beyond, Holly exuded joy, energy, kindness, helpfulness and a high degree of communication and effectiveness. I'd recommend her to the president. Thanks Holly. Thanks SivelGroup.”

Siobhan helped us find the perfect place in Philly. When we couldn't be there for the home inspection, she stepped in. Siobhan is professional, heads off problems so they don't happen, and has an easy going demeanor. I highly recommend working with Siobhan for your buying and selling needs.

"Rating the quality of work Siobhan did as our realtor with just 5 stars feels like a serious disservice to her work and her as she is a genuinely nice person!! She is meticulous, knowledgeable and professional, she made us feel like family instead of just her clients. She went above and beyond multiple times for us as 1st time buyers.…… highly recommend!"

Siobhan helped me through the process of selling my home in Philadelphia and provided great guidance every step of the way. From providing advice on what improvements to tackle in advance of the sale to negotiating with multiple interested buyers, Siobhan got my home under contract within three days of listing and above asking price. She made herself available any time I needed to talk to her (including nights and weekends), which made the whole process very easy. I highly recommend her to anyone considering selling their home.

Siobhan took the time to understand our preferences and then worked tirelessly to help us find a property satisfying them. She's knowledgeable, patient, personable, and available on short notice for a phone call or video chat when things (inevitably, at least with the market these days) heat up. As first time home buyers during a pandemic, we bordered or overwhelmed at times, but having Siobhan in our corner made the whole process much more manageable. Highly recommend.

Siobhan and I met at a networking event a few years back. I could have never anticipated then what a valuable person she would be to have on our team when it came time to buy a home.

We had started to work with Siobhan early in 2020. She accommodated us with video phone calls, digital docu-signing, and a robust MLS search. Ultimately at the time we became discouraged with the local inventory and the uncertainty of our finances going forward, so we pulled the plug. She made sure to stay in touch with us while we figured out our next steps.

Fast forward to this past summer and my husband saw a house go up for sale in a dream neighborhood. We contacted Siobhan that night and she was able to meet with us and see the house the next day! This kick-started what became a two-month home-buying event.

When we were unsure about the initial home, Siobhan set us up with another MLS. She orchestrated a day-long showing schedule which took her wayyy out of her typical selling territories. She put up with my tears, my husband’s home-finishing-nitpicking, and everything in-between! Working with Siobhan made us realize how a GREAT realtor wears a ton of hats: salesperson, therapist, HGTV host, financial advisor, and event coordinator all while wearing a smile. Siobhan is all of this and more!

I most appreciate Siobhan’s candor and her realistic attitude towards home-buying. Her financial background and knowledge in investment properties means she basically speaks my husband’s language. She is prompt with everything she does, professionally presents herself, and made herself available at the most critical moments. We liked that while she was our singular realtor, she also has a clear support system with her team at The Sivel Group. We ultimately experienced what I would call a “rollercoaster” of a home-buying process and we felt supported in every step.

If you are looking for a realtor, working with Siobhan is a great option. If you’re looking for a home-buying teammate who is passionate and compassionate, Siobhan is THE option!

Siobhan was a pleasure to work with. No question was too small or trivial for her to take the time to research and respond to. She listened to our concerns and helped facilitate the sale of our house so the experience was not too overwhelming for us. Very thoughtful and very professional.

- Barbara Kay

We met Siobhan 10 months before we settled on our home. She provided excellent guidance and advice and was always available to take our calls and schedule showings.

We would recommend reaching out to Siobhan if you need to buy, sell, or rent in Philly or the Philly burbs!

During my three score and ten years on this little blue planet I have purchased and sold 5 properties and worked with dozens of realtors, some quite good, some not so good. Without question, however, Siobhan is the best. Siobhan places the needs and goals of her clients above her own financial considerations. She worked as hard to help me find an apartment as she would have to sell a million dollar home. She put my needs first. Siobhan is bright, extremely hard-working, and very personable. She puts her scholarly skills to good work investigating properties and analyzing options. She was always quick to answer emails and to make time for me at a moment's notice. She is the perfect realtor to have in this uncertain real estate market. I trust Siobhan. I'm not sure I can say that about any other realtor I have worked with.
