Client Testimonials
Pam is an excellent realtor! We couldn't have asked for a more knowledgeable, supportive and go-getting partner in home-selling and home-buying. She really had our backs. We will always go to Pam, first.

As a first time home buyer I had many questions and concerns about the home buying process. I was concerned about lenders, the amount of money needed for a down payment and closing costs, and most importantly, finding the perfect house for my husband and I to call home. I consider myself very lucky to have had Mary Ann Heimark to help me find an answer and solution to all of my concerns and questions. I found that through the home-buying experience it is extremely important to find a real estate agent you can trust. Someone who can provide you with educated opinions and someone who can refer you to trustworthy sources. From the beginning Mary Ann put my husband and I in contact with a lender so we could understand what we could afford and what the costs associated with different types of loans were. By doing this, it ensured that we were never blind-sided by costs at any point in the process and that we were looking at homes that we were comfortable making an offer on. Once we had an idea of what we were looking for we were then comfortable going to see houses. Given our tight time frame due to renting and the end of our lease quickly approaching we would go on a marathon house-viewing trips (per my request). My husband and I were interested in multiple areas of the city as well as Conshohocken. It was important to me to see a variety of different houses and areas so I could feel comfortable in my decision. Mary Ann not only came prepared, but she showed up with an energy and enthusiasm that made the long days of house viewing fun. She was never pushy but always had insightful and helpful opinions. She always found a way to accommodate our last minute requests and she planned our house visits in a logical order based on location. Once we were ready to place an offer, Mary Ann gave us an educated suggestion on what we should offer. She thoroughly explained her reasoning but also listened to our concerns and our opinions. Once we concluded what our offer would be, Mary Ann worked with our mortgage company to complete the paperwork. For anyone who’s bought a house before, you can understand how much paperwork there is! I can honestly say that with her proactive approach with our lender this portion of the process went seamlessly. As we predicted, our initial offer was not accepted. During negotiations Mary Ann was very mindful of our budget and kept the total cost within what we could afford. In the end, she negotiated a price that allowed us to buy the house that we live in now (and love!). Buying our first house was certainly a huge milestone for my husband and me. Having a real estate agent that I could trust and someone who I truly believe had our best interest in mind was an invaluable part of this experience. Whereas home buying can at times be stressful, my husband and I look back at our experience with such positive thoughts and I know that this is largely attributed to our experience with Mary Ann. I would highly recommend her to any new home buyer and would certainly go back to her if my husband and I decided to buy another home in the area.

My mother and I could not have been happier with the exemplary job done by Pamela Schwartz in listing and selling her (my mother's) condominium. Pamela did a great job of assessing what needed to be done in order to make the condo more marketable. She also did an expert job of staging the condo to make it more inviting. As soon as the condo was listed for sale, photographs of the condo, including the entrance and all common areas and amenities, were posted online through her website. Most importantly, Pamela was able to facilitate sale of the condo at a good price within a relatively short period of time. I certainly would highly recommend Pamela Schwartz to all of my friends and colleagues, and I would absolutely use her services for any real estate needs I might have in the future!

I have had the privilege and pleasure of knowing Pam for a few years and she is the most competent and caring real estate agent I ever encountered. When I started searching for a home I really wanted to do what was best for me in every way, especially financially. Pam was very supportive in incredible ways and helped me find the perfect home for me. Pam was very patient with me through the process and again I say she was very supportive but didn't push me and wanted what was best for me also. Pam is very professional and she shows that as she cares in everything she does. From personal experience I would highly recommend Pam Schwartz as a Real Estate Agent who becomes your friend. If you are looking for the perfect home, contact Pam Schwartz!

Pamela is a true real estate professional and it is my pleasure to write this recommendation. When my fiancé and I decided to move out of the city to the suburbs we interviewed countless realtors on the Main Line and found ourselves discouraged and underwhelmed with the options. Then we met Pam and she had everything we were looking for—Main Line expertise, business savvy, and a warm and engaging personality. We embarked on a three-month journey searching for our dream home and without Pam’s guidance we would not be living in our perfect home today. Throughout the entire experience she was extremely kind, patient and demonstrated high integrity. She spent countless hours touring homes over and over again, meeting late at night to sign paperwork, finding contractors to provide us with repair quotes in short periods of times and always, always was available and responsive. We are so pleased with the experience and grateful to her for everything she did to get us into our dream home. Thank you Pam!
