John Collins-RE/MAX Main Line

Couldn’t have gone smoother; he listened to what we wanted as sellers and followed through. Support staff was very attentive and responsive. His personality and way of handled the sale was very comforting to my older Mom whose home we were selling.

I couldn’t have asked for a better experience in selling our home.
John is on top of everything, he helped us get the house ready even before it was on the market. His advice was invaluable and kept us from wasting money unnecessarily. Our listing was written perfectly & photographed professionally.
John kept track of everything and compared our progress statistically with typical selling time and prices. John sold our home in 3 weeks at 96% of our asking price!
So you better be ready to move if you use John as your realtor :)
1 month later, John sold my parent’s home.
Your search is over, you’ve found your realtor, this guy is top notch.

John helped us to buy our house. John is thorough, patient and very knowledgeable about the mainline area. You can always trust that he gives frank and candid opinions about the property. He establishes good relationship with the seller and seller’s agent, and he is committed to protect our interest. He may sound conservative sometimes, but that’s exactly what is needed to be a good realtor when so much investment is involved. Towards the end of the 1-​year house hunting process, we almost caved in under the pressure of the volatile interest rate, and wanted to settle for a property that is not ideal. But John convinced us again and again that we would eventually find our best fit. We are glad that we listened.

John gave us exceptional service with the sale of our home in Malvern and the purchase of our new home in Chester Springs.
On the selling side, we were so happy with John’s whole marketing package. From the photographer who took beautiful photos, to his detailed description of the attributes of our property, all which showed our home in the best light. John’s follow up after each appointment was appreciated. After we received an offer, we were impressed with his expertise in helping us negotiate the terms of the sale. Throughout the process, John was great at keeping us calm and giving us a sense that all the details were being handled properly. We were thrilled that the settlement went so smoothly.
On the buying side, we were most impressed by John’s arrival to the appointments well-​prepared and his attention to details about the homes and neighborhoods where we looked. He quickly got a good sense of what we were looking for and was very patient with us when it came time for decisions. We appreciated John’s calm manner and good sense of humor that put us at ease. We never felt pressured into a decision but appreciated his gentle guidance. We just love our new home and are so happy that he helped us find it.

John Collins is a rising star in the real estate business because he has the rare combination of being a compassionate, caring, well-​meaning person &yet has the highly honed skills of a real estate pro. He is very committed to his client’s well being & has the goods to deliver great results. If I had to select an agent in the eastern PA area, John would be my first choice.

My husband and I were on the market to buy a house a couple of years ago. After interviewing several agents, we decided to go with John and we could not have made a better decision. John was very patient showing us a significant number of houses, mostly outside normal working hours and during weekends due to our busy schedule. He is very knowledgeable about the little things to look for when visiting a house, a great negotiator, and his extensive relationships with other stakeholders in the closing process made closing on our house a breeze. A special mention to Mary Ellen, John’s assistant, who was instrumental in ensuring that all logistics ran smoothly.
When working with John, you not only collaborate until the closing, but you can also build a relationship that lasts. A year after moving into our new house, John kept in touch and was of great assistance by connecting us to reliable contractors to make our purchase the house of our dreams. Can’t think of a better real estate agent to work with!

I would VERY highly recommend John Collins. John helped my husband and I find the perfect house — we couldn’t be more happy with where we ended up! John patiently navigated us through over 13+ months of looking — often talking us out of houses that we thought at the time were good for us (in hind sight, we can’t thank him enough for him encouraging us to hold out for the house that we have now). He tolerated our entourage of opinions (including both sets of parents at times!) and offered encouragement when it felt like we would never find «the one.» He clearly understood what we were looking for (once he helped us figure out exactly what and where that even was!) and was very helpful in looking at houses and thinking through things (as a minor example, things like pointing out where the kitchen was laid out in a house vs. the deck where you’d be grilling or helping us look at the house as opposed to the colors on the wall or the furniture that was in them). John actually found us our current home in Tredyffrin Easttown School District (Wayne, PA) and called us from the property just 2 days before Christmas telling us that we had to meet up (though he was technically «off» at the time for the holiday) so that we could see the house. We couldn’t be more thankful for his guidance, advice, connections, recommendations, negotiating skills, attention to detail, and professionalism. We would never use anyone else!
