Should I restore original features before listing my home?

Yes. Simple repairs like regrouting tile, polishing woodwork, or reglazing windows can make historic details shine.

Do buyers actually value older architectural details?

Absolutely. Features like hardwood floors, stained glass, and built-ins often become major selling points for buyers seeking character.

How do I decide which original features to highlight in my listing?

Focus on elements that are visually striking or uncommon today, and make sure they appear prominently in photos.

Brent Adair

We cannot recommend Mandy enough! Selling our late parents' home was an emotional and overwhelming process, but she made everything feel so manageable from start to finish. Her communication was clear, consistent, and compassionate the entire time. She truly understood the situation and handled it with the care and respect it deserved, while still being incredibly efficient and knowledgeable about the market. If you're looking for someone who is professional, responsive, and genuinely has your best interest at heart, Mandy's your woman. We're beyond grateful for how smoothly everything went and couldn't have asked for a better experience.

Jessica Bishop

Mandy was so wonderful to work with from day 1 to closing! She is so knowledgeable of the region, can provide insights and feedback along the way. Mandy was extremely helpful and patient/accommodating as we went through the home search. Prior to closing, she also had great guidance for how to navigate all the moving parts to have a smooth day for closing. So glad we had her on our side!

Laura Ross

I have been a renter in Glenside since 2017 Dan Helwig and his staff are always devoted to customer service I have told my landlord that my intention is to leave this place feet first I love my little "Penthouse apartment! And I really love, Glenside !

Thomas E.

I have never bought or sold a home. When it was time to help my mother sell our family home, I didn't have a clue where to start. A referral to Mandy (Amanda Helwig) was the best thing to ever happen! Right away her familiarity with my neighborhood, her experience and warm personality, and her professional skills showed and immediately charmed over my overly anxious mother. I knew after my first conversation with Mandy that she was the right person to help with this important task. To say that the sale went easily would be a slight exaggeration, as there were some mild "hiccups" along the way, but the way Mandy navigated this process was really amazing. I did feel Mandy and I had similar mentalities regarding offers and how to handle them. She was the perfect, calming balance to my anxiety. When all was said and done, I got the price I wanted for my family home. I am SO grateful to Mandy and her team for helping me sell this home. Super highly recommended!

Bill Mohler

Mandy has helped me buy not one, but two houses! She is a credit to the industry and an amazing Realtor. I highly recommend her and Dan Helwig Realtors for making the home buying process so simple and hassle-free. 5 stars - would give more if possible!
