Kara Markley, Realtor The best information, data, listings...and more for the Philadelphia real estate market.

In August of 2014, I listed my house in Bella Vista for sale with Tyler of Wagner Real Estate. One month later, I had sold my house, bought a new one in Passyunk Square, and was on a path to a new career! As my fourth real estate transaction drew to a close, I realized I would miss the new challenges, excitement, and fun that each transaction brought with it. Tyler encouraged me to pursue a course

in real estate and in January 2015, I joined the Wagner Group, now of Compass. I graduated from Wake Forest University with a degree in Economics, and worked for over 12 years as an Economist in the Federal government. My work with labor market data has developed an expertise in trend analysis as well as an acute attention to detail. Living in Philadelphia for 5 years and working there for well over a decade, I know the city and its neighborhoods, particularly South Philly, very well. I currently live in Passyunk Square (with the hottest restaurant scene in the city), and would be just as thrilled to provide a dinner recommendation as show you a house! With no shortage of enthusiasm and energy, as well as a knack for efficiency and organization, I am eager to show you that your first--or next--real estate transaction can be gratifying…and even fun!

We started our search with high rise condos in Rittenhouse.

And ended it at this sweet little row home on a quiet block in Passyunk.

I kept assuring this buyer she’d know “ the one” when she saw it. And she sure did! Charming and quaint and perfect for her. 👀

Just listed in Brewerytown—and this one is “extra” everything. Extra space, extra light, extra nice.

Soaring ceilings, wide layout, and sunlight pouring in from every angle make this home feel massive, yet warm & welcoming. The kitchen is ready to host (hello, waterfall island), the lower level has room for your dream home gym, and the roof deck delivers skyline views that will impress.

Oh—and no shared walls. A rare find in the city.

Space changes everything. Come see what it does for you.
