Brotherly Love Real Estate

Real, Local People

We started Brotherly Love Real Estate for the sole purpose of helping people of the community with one of the most important investment decisions of their lifetime. Jon and Alex, who started off as friends from childhood, now buy houses in Philadelphia together. We buy houses in Philadelphia – including condos, multi-family, vacant land, and apartments. Our goal was to start simple and starting buying investment properties. Never in our wildest dreams did we think that we would be running a real estate investing company full-time. This real estate journey has led us to meet incredible people throughout the community of Philly, and has helped us grow into the people we are today. Our Team is excited to work with you during the home-selling process.

“Jon made himself available to us at all times and helped us glide through our transaction with ease. He is extremely knowledgeable in both the local neighborhoods as well as home improvement which simplified the search even more so. Jon made his home rehabilitation experience very apparent as we   toured dozens of homes and he was able to point out the good, the bad, and the ugly. His expertise simplified our decision-making since he was able to identify key features or flaws that are not immediately apparent to the pedestrian eye. He made himself available to all of our questions at all times of the day. Many of our questions revolved around neighborhood specifics which he was able to answer based on firsthand dealings. Jon also has valuable connections in all areas of home financing and maintenance which only helped expedite our process.  When all was said and done, our transaction was completed fluidly on a VERY compressed deadline. I don’t have enough good things to say about Jon’s professionalism and ambitious work ethic. I 100% plan on reaching out when we’re ready for our second transaction.”

“Brotherly Love Real Estate made the house searching and buying process stress-free and exciting. We were first-time home buyers, and Jon guided us through every step explaining everything we had questions about. He was very patient during the house searching process and always gave his honest opinion. I would definitely recommend Brotherly Love Real Estate to those ready to buy a home.”
