Bonaventure Realty Group Brokered by Real of PA

Fantastic experience: This review is long overdue. We have been living in our new home for about 8 months now. I found our realtor Kelly Tully through Zillow. She just happened to be the person available to do showings. After she showed me the first house I decided I really liked her and we used her for the rest of the process. My husband and I are first-time home buyers with him being a little bit skeptical. Kelly put us at ease gave us all the information we needed and was there for us through the whole process. We looked at a total of three houses. Once we finally landed on one, Kelly worked tirelessly with a mortgage broker we chose. They were giving us a bit of a runaround on the paperwork but she handled it. Kelly is a no-nonsense gal which is exactly what you want when you're talking about spending so much money. She worked with us to organize the home inspection through a company that she recommended. He was an absolute delight and we couldn't have been happier with her recommendation for that. Because of the delays with the mortgage brokerage, Kelly could not be available for closing as she had to go on vacation. She was able to negotiate with the seller to get a few things fixed and negotiate pricing. She worked all the way up until she left on getting us into our house and then seamlessly passed it off to her colleague who also did a great job. I think her name was Vicky. When we had our housewarming party we invited Kelly. Not sure if she would come and she did of course and brought us a lovely housewarming gift. I also wanted to add all the while this poor woman had a broken foot and still showed us three houses and showed up for the inspection. What a trooper! That is true dedication to your client! So if you're looking into buying your first home or just buying a home in general, this is your gal. Kelly, you are a superstar and such a joy to work with.

Fantastic experience: This is a 10 star review. Joe, Karen and Gerry are the best people you will ever meet and I am so grateful and blessed we had them to walk us through the home buying process. Ours was not "text book" and they made the entire process easy. Their communication was superior and the service they provided went beyond all expectations. We will definitely recommend them to everyone and look forward to working with them again in the future!

Negative experience: We were working with one of the agents affiliated with this realtor. My experience was disappointing and will not recommend specially when it is your first home purchase. More details: The agent we worked with was too commission focused, tried to drive us away from new property which gave lower commission even when we liked it. I had to do all the heavy lift that i believe is usually driven by the agent - negotiate with builder on cost of the house, reviewing the upgrades builder had to offer, do research on mortgage and talk to the mortgage person that they referred and most disappointing not even offering help to review settlement documents. All they cared was that the commission check was delivered. Last thing to add. They were not transparent on fee structure. Every time i asked the agent about agent cost / commission, they said its all paid by seller. No fees to be paid by buyer. But later I was forced to pay $600 as Bonaventure expense fee or something of that sort.

Fantastic experience: As a first time home buyer, I've really appreciated all the help I've received here. The process has flowed so smoothly!

Fantastic experience: Exelente trato

Fantastic experience: We can’t say enough positive things about The Bonaventure Realty Team, led by Karen and Joe Tosco. We were confident in their knowledge of the housing market and exactly where our home fit into the market. We felt as though Karen and Joe had our backs. They continuously worked hard to sell our home - with innovative and creative marketing. The Tosco's are educators, who ensure that their clients understand the selling/ purchasing process and what to expect going forward. They listened to our specific situation and understood exactly how to proceed. We have total confidence in Joe, Karen and the Bonaventure team; and we have already recommended them to friends. We highly recommend that you use them for your home buying or selling needs.

Fantastic experience: Joe and Karen were extremely helpful and supportive in helping us find our property.

Fantastic experience: Bonaventure Realty doesn’t treat us like a customer, they treat us like family! Joe & Karen Tosco helped us find our home a year and a half ago and we still love seeing them and look forward to their invitations! Thank you for our home and for your friendship!

Fantastic experience: Love Tracy! Tracy is our agent and helps with everything needed, thoroughly and fast!

Fantastic experience: Exceptional family oriented business who treats you with care and consideration like you’re one of their own. We’re repeat customers that are able to recommend without reservation. I’m truly grateful that we have been able to share our realtor life events with Bonaventure Realty / Tosco’s.

Fantastic experience: They really helped us get our home of choice when the housing market was crazy.

Fantastic experience: Angela Teles was our realtor and we were so lucky to have her. She really cares about her clients and was very responsive, would always be there to answer our questions. She goes above and beyond to meet our needs. We highly recommend her!

Fantastic experience: We are repeat customers with Jan Eddowes of Bonaventure and we’ve had a great experience both times. Jan helped us through the process of buying our first home almost 10 years ago, and recently helped us through the process of selling that home and buying a new one. We had such a good experience the first time, we never considered looking elsewhere when it came time to go through the process again. Jan is not only a good realtor, but a lovely person. She went above and beyond throughout the process to get to know us as people and we have even stayed in touch a bit through the years in between. As a buyer’s agent, Jan was patient and listened to what we were looking for. She provided helpful input based on her experience without being pushy, as there was a lot we didn’t realize we didn’t know our first time. With her help, we ended up in a wonderful home we have loved for 9 years. As our family grew, we looked to add a bit more space and purchase a larger home. We had a fairly specific set of criteria we needed to meet, with 2 large dogs and two small children, making the purchase potentially tricky. Again, Jan helped us navigate a very difficult buyer’s market and we couldn’t be happier with where we ended up. As a seller’s agent, Jan provided helpful feedback on which preparations we did (and did not) need to make to successfully list the home. Joe and Jan both met with us to discuss pricing, timing and strategy for our home sale. With their guidance, we were able to sell the home in less than a week after listing and at a price we were very happy with. Most importantly, they made sure the timing of buying the new house and selling the old one were favorable, enabling us to transition over a few weeks without holding 2 mortgages longer than we needed to. We have nothing but positive things to say about Jan and Bonaventure and recommend them to anyone we know who is looking for a realtor. The phrase gets used a lot, but Bonaventure really does bring the “family” feel to buying a home. Jan made us feel more like friends than clients throughout the process and we continue to be grateful for her guidance in landing our home. Mike and Jackie Weiss

Fantastic experience: Pie day at Bonaventure realty was great. Apple pie is excellent!

Fantastic experience: Vicky Homrani was a great realtor to work with . She helped us find the perfect home for us and our extended family . She has continued to keep in touch with us and invites to special events like the Thanksgiving pie event where received gifts and a great pumpkin pie .If your looking for someone to help you find your dream home she is a great person to work with .

Fantastic experience: Big thanks to Vicky for dropping off this huge pie from Pie Day at Bonaventure!! Such an awesome & yummy treat for Thanksgiving!!

Fantastic experience: Working with Karen and Joe Tosco to sell our home was the best decision we made! From the first time they came over, they were attentive and focused on helping us achieve our selling goals. They knew exactly what we needed to do and helped us every step along the way. We sold our home in a single weekend with an offer that exceeded our expectations!! The whole Bonaventure team was professional and easy to work with; they are the best of the best!

Fantastic experience: Karen & Joe Tosco are the perfect duo. We had to leave the only home our children knew, mid-pandemic, because our landlord of 8 years decided to sell. We weren’t sure about purchasing a home as we had been long time renters. Karen really opened our eyes to what was available just at our fingertips. After months of searching and being out bid numerous times, and after many encouraging FaceTimes, texts, and calls from Karen, we found our new home. We would never have gotten here without the Tosco’s and Bonaventure Realty.

Fantastic experience: Karen and Joe work so hard for their clients that you feel like a part of their family. We were looking at houses on our own and went to one Karen showed before we knew her. We loved her so much we knew then we wanted her to be our agent even though we didn’t put an offer in. Joe gives excellent advice and is a great sounding board if you have questions. So easy to talk to. After several months and several offers, they never once got frustrated or stopped helping us. When we finally had an offer accepted, they were just as excited as we were! These two are the best.

Fantastic experience: Wonderful people here and you will be in good hands and feel like family! Karen and Joe are the best!!!

Fantastic experience: Karen and Joe Tosco are amazing realtors. They know where and what to do with their clients and always there to help. They also know how to work around prices and make sure you have a home. They are always on top of things like pricing , housing , things you want in a home , etc. They have an amazing team as well. I really recommend them if you are looking into a home for you and your family.

Fantastic experience: Amber Buchanan was so wonderful. She sold our home quickly and made the entire process stress-free. Other realtors we talked to wanted to list our home lower but Amber did her research and knew better. It sold in just a few days for full asking price.

Fantastic experience: Amazing people!

Fantastic experience: When house hunting, Angela Teles carefully navigated the subtle differences of opinion my wife and had to find our perfect retirement home in Doylestown Pa. Angela was always avaiilable when we needed her and was happy to change her schedule to accommodate our needs. She showed us homes in both Bucks and Montgomery counties. With her interior design background she was able to point out both the positives and concerns with the various houses we saw. We highly recommend Angela.

Fantastic experience: Everyone we spoke with at Bonaventure was personable, friendly and make us feel like a priority. Angela Teles invested her time and knowledge into selling our home and helping us understand the process. We look forward to working with her again with the purchase of our next home!

Fantastic experience: Christy was amazing!! So patient and understanding. Never rushed us to make a decision and put herself in our shoes to understand what we were looking for. Found us our perfect dream home. Would recommend her to everyone!! She is just superb at what she does.

Fantastic experience: My husband and I are first time home buyers. Kevin Burrows was our realtor and we were so lucky to have him. He is truly amazing from taking us to see houses last minute and putting together an offer that was accepted in this market. His advice and knowledge was helpful to navigate this very competitive market as a buyer. He really cares about his clients and was very responsive, would always be there to answer our questions. He goes above and beyond to meet our needs. We highly recommend him!

Fantastic experience: Joe and Karen helped finding my new house, it’s a great home! There many things I didn’t know how the process works. Joe and Karen took me through every step of the way. During this time, I remember one day unfortunately Joe had to go through a medical procedure and was just discharged from the hospital, but he was still available and led the discussion with my builder on the same day. Appreciate the dedication! Overall the experience was good, thank you both!

Fantastic experience: Jan and the team at Bonaventure Realty are so great to work with. We have now had two home-buying experiences and one home sale with them. Throughout each, Jan treated us like family and made us feel secure as we navigated the process, even when unexpected hurdles needed jumping. She is very honest and genuinely wanted us to end up in precisely the right home. We have recommended her to friends who echo our sentiments as well. Another neat aspect to working with Jan and Bonaventure is that they continue that familial approach well after the sale is complete. From fun farm festivals and free Thanksgiving pies, to text message check ins, this team truly walks the walk when it comes to creating solid customer relationships.

Fantastic experience: Wendy from Bonaventure Realty was extremely helpful. I was looking for a place with specific needs. And she definitely met those needs with the places that she found me. I would definitely use Bonaventure again. As a matter of fact I will use them when I purchase my home.

Fantastic experience: Karen and Joe Tosco will make you part of their family. From the first time you meet them to anything you need. They found me my house. Got me a great deal. Helped me fix it up with a contractor I could trust.

Fantastic experience: Working with Angela was an amazing experience. She was always there to answer any questions that we had. She made sure to make the process of buying a house as easy possible. As first time home buyers we are so thankful we had Angela on our side!

Fantastic experience: Nothing but the best and most catering experience. Angela was extremely hard working, knowledgeable, and friendly. It made me and my wife, both first time buyers, feel very comfortable. Thank you all at Bonaventure!

Fantastic experience: Angela and the Bonaventure Realty team did a superb job helping my wife and I purchase our first home. Angela was extremely helpful with the whole process and we would recommend her or the team to anyone looking to buy a home!

Fantastic experience: Bonaventure was unbelievable! As first time home buyers, they made us feel comfortable about the whole process. Angela, our realtor, was extremely personable and reliable. She answered any questions we had and always made herself available. We are extremely pleased with our experience at Bonaventure.

Fantastic experience: Angela is an excellent, highly skilled agent and I would recommend her to anyone. i know this was kind of a complicated transaction and she rolled with the punches very well.

Negative experience: Slum Lord Property Managers. Lived in their property for two years. Would have left after the first year but were unable to. Very nice face to face and were the literal worst when it came down to getting them to do any work in their mega old house. Took them 3 days to reply to numerous texts and phone calls about shower not working. Joe's response was "to take bath". If they ever managed to come out they had their kids do the work with them. Neighbor's bathroom light didn't work for 2 years and her plumbing leaked into the first floor apartment and they never fixed it until she moved out. Also tried to blame us for trash left on the property and they send me a picture of a bench that was on the property when we moved in. Check their facebook reviews and you can see that their family gives them 5 stars to boost their rating. Disgraceful. Never rent from these people as they are too busy selling houses to be normal landlords.

Fantastic experience: As first time home buyers, we didn't know what to expect. There were times during the process that the home buying experience became very challenging. But our Bonaventure real estate agent Angela Teles handle each challenge with careful detail, a great deal of patience and expert professionalism. Angela is an incomparable asset for the company and a blessing for any home buyer to have in their corner. Angel proved to be knowledgeable, understanding, and willing to go the extra mile throughout the process. She is a kind spirited ball of positivity that we couldn't be more thankful for. Upon our closing we met serval other staff members and this realty company is a real class act. Thanks to you all Jeremiah and Tiffany

Fantastic experience: We used this agency as our buyer agent when purchasing our first home. We couldn't be happier with our decision! Their entire team took great care of us and made the process easy. Karen was always available to speak with us to make sure everything went smoothly and to answer all of our questions. They truly treated us like family! We highly recommend their services!

Fantastic experience: Karen and her team worked tirelessly to find us the perfect home and the best home buyers any seller could ask for. We adore our new home and look forward to making new memories there. We truly consider them extended family. Great company, tremendous effort! She and her team are a 10!

Negative experience: If I could give 0 stars I would have. A property that I was going to purchase was listed through this company, I placed a $1,000 earnest deposit with them, the sale of the property did not go through after the inspection report. My earnest deposit was to be returned to me, however, it was not immediately returned. It took Joe, the owner, over a month to return my deposit after multiple unreturned phone calls. I had contacted an attorney before my check arrived. Needless to say, I would be very circumspect in dealing with this company.

Fantastic experience: Joe and Karen are awesome. They helped me find and buy my house, answered EVERY question or concern I had and made this stressful process so much easier. Great agency and great people.

Fantastic experience: They're the best! First time home buyer with little idea what to do and they helped me every step of the way. Every question went answered and Karen and Joe became more than realtors to me they became friends. I was SO happy to find them and even happier to become a home owner with their help!

Fantastic experience: I had Angela T. as our realtor and she was beyond the greatest! She was never pushy nor ever bombarded us like the other commercial realtors. We never felt rushed and definitely were sure when she helped us find the right home! She always responded time efficiently and very knowledgeable about the different types of houses. Angela is also resouceful, all of her references were definitelyreliable! Our whole process from the start of the search, all the way to closing, was a smooth sail. I highly recommend her!
