I connected with Zikaya through Zillow while searching for properties in the Philadelphia area, and I couldn’t have made a better choice. From the start, her energy, warmth, and friendliness set her apart, making the entire process both enjoyable and stress-free. Zikaya is a true expert in the real estate buying process—extremely organized, detail-oriented, and always one step ahead. As a first-time investor, I appreciated how she guided me through every step with clarity and patience, ensuring nothing was overlooked. Her professionalism and dedication are unmatched, and I felt confident knowing she had my best interests at heart. If you’re looking for a realtor who will make your goals her priority, Zikaya is the one. She’s at the top of my list, and I’d recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking to buy or invest in real estate.

“Zakiya is amazing, period! Not only did she help me find a great duplex that was in my budget, she went above her duties and exceeded my expectations. I am a first time buyer and had a few issues along the way with the first lender falling through and with funds for closing costs and she provided me with the resources and information I needed to find a great deal on a mortgage and funding for closing costs. She was really responsive and timely with booking appointments to see properties I was interested in. She is knowledge about the entire process and neighborhoods and gave great insight. I definitely recommend working with her.”

Zakiya was always prompt and was willing to accommodate when it came to shopping for a property. My husband and I have brought two properties with the help of Zakiya!”
