Rebecca Diamond - Testimonials

Tell Us Your Story

Rebecca sold our house for $50,000 over asking AND saved us $145,000 during inspection and appraisal negotiations.

Really, what more needs to be said? She got us ridiculous results, and was constantly professional and communicative. And, she was uncannily punctual, to-the-minute; it's actually kind of odd, but great! She fought like mad for us, way beyond our expectations. Warning: her staging advice was hard to swallow because I like my stuff, BUT... she obviously knew what she was doing!!!

Every realtor that I've ever worked with has worked to my satisfaction and generally been very professional (there are a couple of horrific exceptions, realtors with big teams, but I digress).

Rebecca goes/went beyond my satisfaction. When the market produced multiple offers, which she deftly and aggressively negotiated, my house was set to sell for $50,000 over asking. Not to take anything away from Rebecca, but that was normal for the market at the time. I was totally satisfied with that. But here's the difference: Rebecca thought she could get more, and so she did. THAT's what makes her superb; she doesn't just accept, even if you're already happy with the results, she doesn't rest, until she has gotten the very best that the market has to offer her clients. She evaluates the situation based on the market and the personalities and then she dodges, weaves, and waves her magic wand or whatever she does and....presto...you're blown away. And, she communicates...always answers questions and returns communication in a timely manner...she even gives a guarantee to that effect, which is unique. I have worked with many realtors in the last 30 years but (knock wood) I never need to find another one.

We beat out seven other offers thanks to her suggestions.

We have used her two other times since. We had a property that was going to attract a lot of lowballers and Rebecca sold it quietly, through her own network. We had a higher-end property that stayed on the market longer than we hoped but Rebecca was always upbeat, advising, encouraging, studying the market to let us know how to respond, and ultimately got us multiple offers when we least expected it. You want a true professional that's smart and dedicated? You couldn't do better than to call Rebecca.

This is my second time working with Rebecca.

The first time she sold our house in just 6 days and at asking price, when it had been up twice before with no bites. Now she is helping me sell my mom's house. Mind you, I am living in the UK, and my mom's house is in PA. She has been absolutely invaluable to me. She has gone into the house, done video chats with me to help sort out belongings, meeting charities to pick up the furniture, all things that she doesn't have to do. She does this because she is an amazing human being. She has been very caring towards my mom and shows empathy to her. It is not easy for someone to have to sell their home. I'm writing this review in the middle of all of this. We haven't even listed the property yet, and here I am. Honestly. If you need a realtor, Rebecca is beyond amazing.

Over the past 30 years I have worked with a bout a dozen different real estate agents.

Few of them work very hard in my opinion. Often they are more committed to their vision of what I want and making money rather than my particular vision and needs. That can be difficult to swallow when you make a living with your hands and every real estate transaction is absolutely crucial for the wellbeing of your family. Rebecca Diamond carefully interviewed me and accurately "got" what I needed. She scoured the market constantly and sent me properties to review that made sense. In the end she found a perfect home for us that hadn't even listed yet so we had a shot at it first. Rebecca Diamond demonstrated a work ethic, an integrity, and an expertise I have seldom seen in her profession. She has my highest reccomendation as a professional and as a human being. My wife and I are so grateful!

"Years ago, we knew our kids would grow and move on, and we would eventually downsize. To prepare, Rebecca came to our home, knowing we wouldn’t be moving immediately, and gave us her time and recommendations so we could maximize a return and make sure the home was in tip-top shape when the time came. Rebecca always checked in about what was new and asked about our kids/family. We trusted her so much because she was so knowledgeable about the market, our home needs, and who we were as people. She is meticulous, service-oriented, kind, detailed, and, when the time came to sell, she delivered flawlessly. Our home in Villanova sold in 9 days. Fast forward 2 years, we decided to stay in the Philadelphia area and called Rebecca again. She provided every quality we were looking for in a realtor, and we are so happy with the results. What we wanted was unique and had to accommodate a growing family of 7 that was adding in-laws and grandchildren. We wanted a historical home and a walkable town close by. Boy, did she deliver, again. Those same skills noted before, which we came to know and trust, landed us in Rose Valley, a borough next to Media and Wallingford, in a home we could only dream of that suits our needs perfectly. She listens, she is patient, she is ethical, calm under pressure, focused, and she executes until she knows her clients will be 100 percent satisfied. I wouldn't only recommend Rebecca as a realtor, I wouldn't buy or sell a home with anyone else."

"Rebecca was wonderful to work with! She made both buying and selling a home as stress free and as seamless as possible. Rebecca is extremely knowledgeable and effortlessly navigates the ever-changing real estate market. Because of her expertise she saved me money on the purchase of a new home and also sold my home way above the price I was anticipating! Rebecca offers the highest level of service and takes away all the headaches and anxiety of the buying and selling process. I highly recommend Rebecca Diamond as your next real estate agent!"

"I sold my home in Drexel Hill with Rebecca, and I'm still amazed by the outcome. At the time, most homes in the area were selling for about 10% over asking price, which I thought would be a great result. Rebecca sold my home for 17% over asking.The difference wasn't luck. It was strategy.From the beginning, Rebecca had a plan for everything. She knew how to price the home to create competition without leaving money on the table. She gave thoughtful advice on what was worth doing before listing and what wasn't, coordinated everything that needed to happen, and marketed the property so it stood out from the competition. I always felt like she was three steps ahead.She's extremely invested in the entire process. She was constantly watching the market, adjusting when needed, and negotiating every detail. I never felt like just another client—I felt like she genuinely cared about getting me the best possible outcome.If you're selling a home in Drexel Hill, Delaware County, the Main Line, or anywhere in the western suburbs of Philadelphia, I can't recommend Rebecca Diamond highly enough. She combines deep local market knowledge with smart pricing, exceptional marketing, and outstanding negotiation skills. Her 20+ years of experience really shows and my results prove that who you work with really does matter."

"If you're thinking about selling your home on the Main Line, stop searching and call Rebecca Diamond! She is the BEST.I recently sold my home in Ardmore, PA (Lower Merion Township), and the results genuinely shocked me. I expected to achieve a result over-asking prince, simply because that has become the norm in this area. But, when most homes in the area were selling for around 10% over asking price, Rebecca got me **23% over asking**. This was pure SKILL on her part!From the moment we listed, Rebecca brought a level of market knowledge and strategic preparation I hadn't seen from other realtors. She knew exactly how to price and position my Ardmore property to attract serious buyers, she knew who the buyer was going to be and how to market to them, and she managed the entire process with confidence and clarity. I never felt confused or out of the loop, and I always enjoyed my interactions with Rebecca. She brought in a professional stager and made staging recommendations of her own so that the property looked great. She also had a Pricing Committee come and take a look to audit/verify her pricing strategy. I loved having more than one expert at my disposal. She made contractor recommendations and when the first one didn't work out during crunch time, she hopped right to it and got me another one with no time wasted. Rebecca has a strategy for everything that she does, including when to hit the market. She moved my timeline up when there was a competing property on the block and that worked supremely well in my favor. If you want a Main Line realtor who actually cares and royally delivers, not just someone who sticks a sign in the yard, Rebecca Diamond is the REAL DEAL. Her 20+ years of experience in this market makes an enormous difference when it counts. I could not recommend anyone more highly. Call her. You will not be disappointed."

"Rebecca was thoroughly professional: knowledgeable about the market, accessible with quick turnaround on my Qs, honest without excessive puffery, transparent about processes and fees and straightforward willing to tell me things I'd rather not hear - that's all I look for in an RE professional. This was the 5th house I've (bought and) sold over the last 35 years - all my personal residences, each in a different city and state. Rebecca jumped in near the beginning of this pandemic with strategies and resources already in place to sell the house and provided extensive analytical work before I chose an agent. In fact, the depth and thoughtfulness of her analysis was the main reason we went with Rebecca. When we were under contract, a complicated issue better resolved through direct contact and negotiation with my buyer arose, she was willing to step back and permit me to work it out with the buyer, while remaining available to advise. Not every agent is willing to disintermediate herself.Only quibble: despite a competitive market, unwilling or unable to reduce her commission. Nonetheless, we went with Rebecca and don't regret it.Bottom line: Highly recommneded."

"Our experience working with Rebecca couldn’t have been better. She understands the practical realities of buying a home, and that’s exactly the kind of agent you want in your corner. From our very first walkthrough, Rebecca was always thinking several steps ahead. She pointed out items that would come up during our home inspection, showing just how knowledgeable and proactive she is throughout the entire process. Rebecca is extremely communicative, responsive, and never once pressured us into making decisions that would benefit her over us. What we appreciated most was how down-to-earth, pragmatic, and genuinely trustworthy she is. In a sea of Realtors, Rebecca is the big fish! Hire her and all of your needs will be met."

"Rebecca has helped me buy and sell homes multiple times. She was just as professional, committed to quality and our happiness, and thorough when I bought my first, tiny starter home with her as she was when she helped us buy the dream home we live in today. She always took the time to explain all of the intricacies of the process in ways we could understand and allowed us to make good decisions. Rebecca is an expert negotiator. The appraisal for the home we wanted to buy came in way under what we had offered. The seller graciously offered to split the difference, but even this would have left us in very uncertain financial circumstances. Over the course of a very long day, Rebecca was able to plead our case, cite current market statistics, and negotiate a deal that saved us a ton of money and made buying the home fit into our budget. I can't recommend Rebecca enough. I would recommend her to any of my friends and family and wouldn't hesitate to call her again if I needed to buy or sell."

"I’m incredibly grateful that Rebecca Diamond guided me through the home-buying process. She came highly recommended from a discerning family member who had had a wonderful experience working with Rebecca. I was moving from a well loved family home in the suburbs after thirty years to the city of Philadelphia. Rebecca made what could have been an overwhelming experience feel not just approachable but interesting and fun. She listened closely to my needs with an open mind, was consistently early for every appointment, thoughtful in every recommendation, and responded to telephone calls, emails, and texts quickly, with all the pertinent information included.The properties viewed were consistently appropriate. Rebecca respected my pace and priorities. I never felt pressured, or as if a sale itself was the goal. I was able to purchase a home in the building I dreamed of, on the side where I wanted to be, at the price I expected to pay. Rebecca watched units in this particular building as they came on the market. My dream spot on the North side was captured on the first day of the listing. I appreciated was how steady and resourceful she was when issues came up. Instead of making problems seem insurmountable, Rebecca calmly helped me understand and work through them, explained everything clearly, and provided the information which enabled me to make intelligent decisions. In closing, Rebecca was consistently responsive, easy to work with, and incredibly accommodating throughout the search process.  I ended up in a home that is perfect for me, one I still cannot believe to have actually purchased. The experience would not have gone nearly as smoothly without Rebecca’s help. I absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a person of integrity and kindness who also is a reliable, knowledgeable, and genuinely supportive realtor in Philadelphia or the Philadelphia suburbs."
