A Note from Elizabeth
Welcome to VERY at Compass RE! I am Elizabeth Convery. In 2013, I left a job in commercial real estate in NYC to return to my hometown of Philadelphia because I wanted to make a difference in people’s lives and change the way people look at REALTORS(R). I started a boutique residential real estate brokerage firm, VERY Real Estate, having transacted over a billion dollars of commercial real estate but never selling a house a day in my life. Was I crazy? Sure was. But, I believed in myself and the greater mission that consumers deserve an experience rooted in professionalism, transparency and market expertise for the largest transaction of their lives.
Before I started the firm, I asked all my friends who had bought homes what their experience was like. I heard very similar stories of them not feeling confident in the process or cared for during the transaction. I asked each of them the name of their agent. I was shocked how many of them couldn’t remember who had helped them navigate the most significant transaction of their life. I knew I had to change that experience for everyone who walked through my door and make sure my clients never forgot their agent again.
Over these last 11 years, I grew VERY Real Estate to a team of 10 full-time professionals committed to excellence in all that we do. We’ve successfully completed over 1,200 transactions in the Greater Philadelphia region including the Western suburbs and South Jersey and are consistently ranked among the top 1.5% of agents in the country. VERY was the first independent brokerage to partner with Compass RE when they entered the Philadelphia market in 2018.
Our team of full-time agents and licensed staff bring years of experience to everything that we do and we aren’t afraid to share our knowledge at every opportunity. We meet weekly as a team to discuss our client needs, collaborate on solutions and develop our skills together making us the best in the industry. With varied and diverse backgrounds across industries, our team brings a unique perspective to all that we do. When you hire a VERY agent, you are gaining the strength of 75 years of collective real estate experience.
I am so proud of the work we are doing to reshape the residential real estate industry by combining high-touch service with the latest in tech offerings through Compass’ innovative platform. Our goal is to change the culture of residential real estate one client at a time. When you partner with VERY, you join us in this mission. We can’t wait to welcome you home!
