Best Real Estate Agents in Berks County, PA

If you're selling or buying in Berks County and want a short list of agents to call, this is it: fifteen agents and teams, grouped by the part of the county and the kind of work each one describes on their own page, and not ranked, because the best real estate agents in Berks County for a farmhouse in Oley aren't the same names as for a condo in Wyomissing. Each section says who they are, what they say they specialize in and what their clients praise, and every name here is also listed, with a phone number, among the real estate agents in Berks County alongside the rest of the county's licensees.

The ten lines that follow are a sampler, in page order, so you can see the shape of the list; all fifteen have their own sections.

• The Susan McFadden Team: a page for nearly every Berks school district, and a moving dumpster one client called priceless.
• The Dave Mattes Team: the county Realtors association's Realtor of the Year for 2024, with farm, acreage and new-construction work on the team's own list.
• The Matt Wolf Team: Berks plus six neighboring counties since 2002, with a showing-scheduling system one reviewer said went well.
• Daryl Tillman Realty Group: a family-owned Berks brokerage whose broker stages a house before it lists.
• Ed Spayd: an Oley Valley graduate who works Oley, Fleetwood, Exeter and Longswamp, residential, commercial and investment.
• Chris Strain: Exeter, Douglassville and the Morgantown end, farm, acreage and development land, with a construction background reviewers lean on.
• John Gantkowski: Reading, West Reading, Shillington, West Lawn, Muhlenberg and Leesport, and one reviewer credits him with a lender introduction.
• Deb Hassler: first-time buyer programs, condos and homeowners associations, investors and vacant land, with a Boyertown page.
• Rose M. Beck: the Military Relocation Professional designation and a service area that runs from Fleetwood up across the Schuylkill and Lehigh lines.
• Soranyi Lozano: a Reading resident of nineteen years who works with first-time buyers in Spanish and English.

Which teams and brokerages sell across the whole county?

Every agent on this page works out of a brokerage office in Wyomissing or West Lawn, so an office address tells you little about where an agent sells. These six describe the whole county on their own pages, or Berks plus the counties around it. Several of them also appear on RealTrends' verified list of 2025 home sales, a voluntary list that an agent or their brokerage brand submits and a managing broker usually verifies, so absence from it means nothing.

The Susan McFadden Team, the whole county one district at a time.

Susan McFadden grew up in Michigan and Phoenixville, started in real estate in 2006 with Berks Homes, and her page says she went on to open, own and operate Keller Williams Platinum Realty in Wyomissing. She raised her family in the Twin Valley School District, lives in Wyomissing now, and her team page lists seven Realtors and a licensed staff member.

Her site has a page for nearly every school district in the county, and each one spells out the towns it covers, from Strausstown, Shartlesville and Hamburg in the north through Mohnton, Shillington and Flying Hills to Morgantown, Elverson and Honey Brook in the south, plus a Berks to the Beach link for shore buyers. The team is on RealTrends' list.

Reviewers praise her market knowledge, her attention to detail and how quickly she responds, and the team's support. One perk gets its own mention, the dumpster she provides for the clear-out; a client wrote, "The moving dumpster she graciously provides is priceless." Her page also lists the team as a regular supporter of Opportunity House, Helping Harvest and the Animal League of Berks County.

The Dave Mattes Team, repeat and referral clients across Berks.

Dave and Melanie Mattes lead this RE/MAX of Reading team from Broadcasting Road in Wyomissing, with five more Realtors and a full-time assistant. Dave Mattes has 31 years in real estate and five designations, the extra certifications agents earn for training in a specialty (his are CRS, ABR, SRS, SRES and AHWD). The Reading-Berks Association of Realtors named him its Realtor of the Year for 2024.

The team's profile says it consistently helps more than a hundred families buy and sell every year, and that over 80 percent of its business comes from repeat and referral clients. The service areas it lists are Exeter, Wyomissing, Robesonia, Spring Township and Berks County as a whole, and the specialties include farm and acreage property, new construction, relocation and investment property. The team is on RealTrends' list.

Reviewers praise how quickly the team gets back to them (one wrote that Dave "always answers your questions promptly"), the pricing strategy on a listing, and the associates; one buyer described the associate who stayed with them through nineteen showings until they found exactly what they wanted.

The Matt Wolf Team, Berks and the six counties around it.

Matt Wolf has been with RE/MAX since 2002 and leads his team out of RE/MAX of Reading in Wyomissing. His profile says he has handled more than a thousand transactions across southeastern Pennsylvania, and the counties he names are Berks, Montgomery, Chester, Lancaster, Lebanon, Schuylkill and Lehigh. He's a RE/MAX Hall of Fame and Lifetime Achievement member and holds three designations.

He's also a Wilson High School graduate and a lifelong Berks resident who lives in Sinking Spring, and he spent eight years on the Wilson School Board. The specialties on his profile are relocation, investment, retirement, luxury, new construction, condominiums, acreage and farm property. The team is on RealTrends' list.

Reviewers praise his professionalism and his availability on late nights and weekends. One client said the system for scheduling house showings "went well," and another described a first-time homebuyer crash course he ran for them at a showing.

Daryl Tillman Realty Group, a family-owned brokerage in Wyomissing.

Daryl and Lisa Tillman are a husband-and-wife team and Berks County natives with more than 25 years of experience between them, and their Westview Drive brokerage in Wyomissing is their own. Their site says they built a family-owned company, that the group is ten full-time Realtors with more than 90 years of combined experience, and that since 2007 they've helped more than 1,250 families in Berks County alone buy or sell a home.

Lisa is the broker, and she holds a staging designation, so part of what the group does is help a seller prepare a house before it ever lists. Their community pages cover every Berks school district, from Antietam and Boyertown to Tulpehocken, Twin Valley and Wyomissing. Lisa Tillman and the group's Sharon Kehres both sit on the Reading-Berks Association of Realtors' board for 2026.

Reviewers praise the staging and pricing together; one seller wrote, "They helped me stage and price the home well which resulted in eleven offers." Others mention the speed, one describing a quick sale without complications.

The Loretta Leibert Group, buyers and sellers across Berks.

Loretta Leibert is an associate broker, which means an agent who has gone on to pass the state's broker exam, and she holds three designations. Her group works out of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Homesale Realty, which her site places on Berkshire Boulevard in Wyomissing.

The group's site says its agents are full-time professional agents and that it specializes in helping buyers find homes and helping sellers list theirs, across Berks and the counties around it, with a page each for Chester, Lancaster, Schuylkill, Montgomery and Lehigh. The group is on RealTrends' list.

Reviewers praise how reachable she is, with one saying she answered "any time of the day any day of the week." They also praise her market knowledge and her negotiating, and one client said she listened and understood what they were looking for even as it changed.

The Jeroen Harmsen Team, three languages and international buyers in Wyomissing.

Jeroen Harmsen moved to Wyomissing from the Netherlands in 1987, graduated from Wyomissing schools, and lives there with his family. He began in real estate partnering with his father, a veteran RE/MAX agent, and has more than 17 years' experience as a full-time residential and commercial agent at RE/MAX of Reading. He speaks English, Dutch and Afrikaans, and he's a RE/MAX Hall of Fame and Lifetime Achievement member.

His profile lists Berks County, Exeter, Wyomissing, Spring Township and Muhlenberg Township as service areas, and the specialties on it include investment property, new construction, international buyers, relocation, rentals and property management. The team is on RealTrends' list.

Reviewers praise his responsiveness, with one saying he was there "every day of the week," and they credit the professional network he brings to a deal. One client said he went above and beyond.

Which agents know the east side of the county, from Oley and Fleetwood down to Douglassville and Morgantown?

The east side of the county runs from the Oley Valley and Fleetwood through Exeter and Douglassville down to Morgantown. These three grew up on that side, live there, or put those towns first on their own pages.

Ed Spayd, the Oley Valley and Fleetwood side of the county.

Ed Spayd is an Oley Valley High School graduate with a Penn State marketing degree, and his profile says he ran Spayd's Sub Shop & Deli for 12 years before he started investing in real estate in 2001 and became an agent in 2003. He's at RE/MAX of Reading, holds three designations, and specializes in residential, commercial and investment property.

His profile says he has helped more than a thousand buyers and sellers, and the service areas it lists are Oley, Exeter, Wyomissing, Fleetwood and Longswamp. He's a RE/MAX Hall of Fame member, and he has earned one of RE/MAX's annual production awards every year from 2021 through 2025. He's on RealTrends' list.

Reviewers praise being kept informed at every step, and one seller summed up the result as "we sold in 1 day and over asking price."

Jeff Martin, a Fleetwood agent at CENTURY 21 Gold.

Jeff Martin's own page introduces him as Jeff Martin of Fleetwood, and he works out of CENTURY 21 Gold on Berkshire Boulevard in Wyomissing. A Shippensburg marketing graduate, he says he learned what it takes to succeed working at his father's restaurant and car dealership, and his page counts 25-plus years in business. He holds six designations, he has Century 21's Centurion and Quality Service awards, and he's a member of the Reading-Berks Association of Realtors and the Greater Reading Chamber Alliance.

His approach, in his own words, is to listen to the client and determine their needs and desires. He's on RealTrends' list.

Reviewers praise his patience and his expertise, and one client singled out what happened after closing: he sent them a copy of their closing statement so they'd be ready for tax season.

Chris Strain, Exeter, Douglassville and Morgantown with construction know-how.

Chris Strain is a lifetime Berks resident and an Exeter High School and Muhlenberg College graduate who says he grew up with a mother in real estate and a father in construction, so both halves of a house sale were at the dinner table early. He has 23 years' experience and works out of RE/MAX of Reading.

The service areas on his profile are Elverson and Morgantown, Exeter, Douglassville, the Governor Mifflin School District area and Berks County, and his specialties lean toward land: farm and acreage property, development land and investment property, along with relocation.

Reviewers praise what the construction background does for a buyer, with one saying his carpentry and construction knowledge makes him a great resource when you're trying to find a new home, and another writing that he "patiently answered all our questions."

Which realtors work in Reading, Wyomissing and the western suburbs?

The city, Wyomissing, West Reading, Shillington, Spring Township and Cumru Township sit at the center of the county, and these two put those places first on their own pages.

John Gantkowski, Reading, West Reading and the towns around them.

John Gantkowski is with Iron Valley Real Estate of Berks on Berkshire Court in Wyomissing, and his site says he works with buyers and sellers across Reading, Wyomissing, West Reading, Shillington, West Lawn, Muhlenberg and Leesport, with community pages for Lancaster and Lebanon counties as well.

His site puts his career, in its own words, at more than $63 million in sales and more than 319 families helped, and he's on RealTrends' verified list for 2025 sales.

Reviewers praise his knowledge of the market and the process, and one appreciated that he was willing to show them any flaws. One buyer credited him with the financing side as well, writing that he "put me in touch with a great lender."

The Eric Miller Team, father and son in Wyomissing and Reading.

Eric J. Miller has been in Berks real estate for over three decades, according to his profile, after an Albright marketing and finance degree and 11 years in corporate marketing. He holds two designations and is a RE/MAX Titan Club, Hall of Fame and Lifetime Achievement member, and his profile describes a marketing plan built to sell your distinct home.

Eric P. Miller, his son, has more than 17 years of experience working in tandem with his father, and he's the head coach of the Wyomissing boys' soccer team. The team works out of RE/MAX of Reading in Wyomissing, lists Wyomissing, Reading, Spring, Cumru and Berks County as service areas, and names luxury and historic property, new construction and relocation among its specialties. The team is on RealTrends' list.

Reviewers praise availability; one client wrote that "countless times he answered his phone late at night." They also praise the team's knowledge of the local market.

Which agents focus on first-time buyers, land, downsizing and relocation?

Some agents lead with a situation as much as a place: a first purchase, a lot with nothing on it yet, a house that's too big now, or a move in from another state. These four do, and if the move is yours, our guide to moving to Berks County covers the rest of the settling in.

David Hinkel, Morgantown, Twin Valley and downsizing.

David Hinkel works out of Coldwell Banker Realty's Wyomissing office, but his site is built around Morgantown and the Twin Valley side of the county, and it says he helps buyers and sellers throughout Berks, Chester, Lancaster and the surrounding Pennsylvania communities. He has been in real estate since 2007, after a decade in information technology, and holds three designations.

His page names new construction, relocation clients, first-time home buyers and residential home sales as his work, and it has a separate page on downsizing services. He's on RealTrends' list.

Reviewers praise the way he guides a first-time buyer through the steps, and one couple bought from another state on the strength of the FaceTime tours he walked them through.

Deb Hassler, first-time buyers, condos and vacant land.

Deb Hassler is an associate broker at Keller Williams Platinum Realty in Wyomissing and a lifelong Berks resident: she grew up in Laureldale, graduated from Muhlenberg High School and lives in Shillington. Her page counts more than twenty-five years in real estate management, leasing and marketing, and her service area is Berks, Lancaster, Montgomery and Schuylkill.

Her page is specific about who she works with: first-time buyers, because the programs for them are constantly changing and she keeps up; condo buyers, since she says she's an expert at evaluating condos and homeowners associations; investors building a portfolio; and buyers of vacant land. There's a page for the Boyertown Area School District, too.

Reviewers praise her staging advice for sellers and how well she knows the market.

Rose M. Beck, military relocation and the northern county line.

Rose M. Beck is an associate broker at RE/MAX of Reading with more than 30 years of business experience, and her profile says she works for buyers and sellers in Schuylkill, Carbon, Lehigh, Luzerne and Berks counties. She holds the Military Relocation Professional designation, which her profile says she earned to take special care of military members and their families, along with two more.

Her service areas start at Fleetwood and run north across the county line to New Ringgold, Tamaqua, New Tripoli and Lehighton, which makes her a fit for a move between Berks and the counties above it. She's on RealTrends' list.

Reviewers praise her responsiveness and her attention to detail, with one client saying she was "incredibly quick to respond to all of our questions."

Soranyi Lozano, Spanish and English for first-time buyers in Reading.

Soranyi Lozano was born in the Dominican Republic, moved to the United States at eight, spent nine years in the Bronx, and has lived in Reading for nineteen years. She's at Coldwell Banker Realty with over five years in real estate, and she works in Spanish and English.

Her page names first-time buyers and investors as her work. Reviewers praise her professionalism and her punctuality, and one buyer who couldn't come to see the house in person wrote, "Her eyes has been my sight."

More to look at.

These ten we'd also hand a neighbor, with one line each from their own page or their reviewers.

• Katie Broskey, Keller Williams Platinum Realty: on RealTrends' list; a buyer stationed across the country praised the quick communication, and a seller said her marketing plan brought multiple offers.

• Beatriz Carannante, RE/MAX of Reading: working in Portuguese, Spanish, Italian and English, with first-time buyers, new construction and relocation.

• Tricia Bubel, RE/MAX of Reading: 26 years in, after housing rehabilitation work for the City of Reading that her page says taught her to look past paint and appliances to mechanicals and functionality.

How we picked the best real estate agents in Berks County.

Every active agent and team listed on BerksConnect went into the pool; we went through each one's own website or brokerage profile and what their reviewers praise, checked each license on PALS, the state's license lookup, on October 28, 2026, and read the county's polls and award lists. Nothing here is ranked, nobody paid for a place, and the county page has everyone else. An agent who isn't on this page isn't being marked down; the sections stop at fifteen, the look-at list at ten more, and the county page has the rest.

Those lists are three. Berks County Living's readers named RE/MAX of Reading the People's Choice "Real Estate Agency" for 2025 and again for 2026, and the magazine has no category for an individual agent. The Reading-Berks Association of Realtors named David Mattes of RE/MAX of Reading its Realtor of the Year for 2024. The third is RealTrends Verified's list of 2025 home sales, the voluntary, broker-verified list described above.

Questions people ask about real estate agents in Berks County.

Who is the best real estate agent in Berks County?

There isn't one. The fit depends on your side of the county and your situation, which is why this list is grouped and not ranked. What the county's own polls and lists say is narrower: an agency (RE/MAX of Reading, Berks County Living's People's Choice for 2025 and 2026), the association's Realtor of the Year award (Dave Mattes received it for 2024) and RealTrends' voluntary verified list by 2025 sales.

How do I check a Pennsylvania real estate agent's license?

Look the agent up on PALS at pals.pa.gov, the state's license lookup, which shows the name, license number, status and any discipline on file. The rest of the vetting is in how to choose a real estate agent in Berks County.

What do real estate agents in Berks County charge?

Commission isn't a county rate; it's something you agree on before you sign. The numbers are in what realtors charge to sell a house in Berks County, and if you're buying for the first time and the down payment is the hard part, the first-time home buyer programs in Pennsylvania and Berks County are the place to start.

Which Berks County agents speak Spanish or Portuguese?

On this page, Soranyi Lozano and Jim Ernst work in Spanish, Beatriz Carannante works in Portuguese, Spanish and Italian, and Jeroen Harmsen speaks Dutch and Afrikaans. RE/MAX of Reading's office page lists nine languages among its agents.

Where do I find real estate agents in Hamburg, Kutztown or Boyertown?

Every agent on this page works from a Wyomissing or West Lawn office, so go by the areas each one serves, not the address. The Tillman site has a page for each school district, Hamburg and Kutztown included, and the McFadden site for most of them, Hamburg included; Spayd lists Oley and Fleetwood, Beck's territory runs from Fleetwood north across the county line, Hassler has a Boyertown page, and Hinkel and Strain work the Morgantown end. The rest of the county's licensees, with phone numbers, are with the real estate agents in Berks County.

Pick the one or two agents here who work your side of the county and your kind of sale, and call them this week. A twenty-minute conversation tells you more than any list.
