Bela has been a very good friend of ours for the last 15 years and was our realtor for the last 4-5 years. She has helped us find the house that we're currently living in, helped us rent the house that we used to live in when we were unable to sell it in a down market and helped us sell the rental property when the market came back up. So, we've used her as a buyer's agent, a rental agent as well as a seller's agent. She is friendly, easy to work with and honest. And she sincerely bats for you on your behalf. I would highly recommend her.

Bela was very helpful in listing and selling our home in two weeks!. She was responsive to all our questions and guided us along the way. She even assisted us in referring us to a mortgage rep so we could purchase a new home. She got us more than what we thought we could have gotten for our house. Bela prides herself on customer service and she knows the area very well. She has a blog and utilizes technology to her advantage. I would highy recommend her if you are buying or selling a home. In our case we bought and sold simultaneously and Bela made it possible.


Tom Waltz, Buyer, Mews at Bailey Station, Coatesville
Bela is a great buyer's agent and I would highly recommend her

A few things stuck out to me in my experiences with Bela when we were looking for a home and going through the process of buying one:

First, and perhaps the most unusual, she will try to talk you out of your "dream house" when you first find it. I mean that in a very positive way. Buying a home is a very emotional experience and it's easy to get swept up in the excitement. Bela will bring you down to earth and remind you of things you said that wanted and things you said that you wanted to avoid and remind you of how those relate to the home you are looking at. In the moment when you are gushing about how you love a place, it's a little shocking but it's also a great way to make sure you find a home that you will love as much in ten years as you do when you first see it.

Bela is also a fierce negotiator. She will get you the best price and negotiate other terms and conditions to make sure that you are getting the best deal possible, In our case, we had to negotiate twice: once with the first offer and again after the appraisal came in lower than our agreed price. She was able to get us the lower price and keep most of the other conditions in our offer.

Lastly, Bela also has a great network of other people to help you along the way. In our case, she connected us with a great mortgage agent and a great inspector. It's not easy to find people who are great to work with and Bela seems to have found quite a few to help out her buyers.

Bela helped us with purchase of a investment property and also to rent it out. From the onset, she was very engaged and diligent in her communication with us and with the other agents. She has a excellent knack for negotiating and in both the transactions we were very satisfied with the outcomes. I whole heartedly recommend Bela who is now top 5% of all realtors in Chester county.

Sr.Software Engineer/ Feeds Lead at Ebay Inc.,
We are first time home buyer, worked with Bela for about 6 months to find our home. She is very professional and tirelessly worked with us till we find our house. Helped in each steps of house buying process. She is very prompt and arrive at showing on time. She manages most of paper work electronically (paper less) which is convenient and save valuable time. During price negotiation she saved us couple of thousand dollars. In our situation we planned to do little religious ceremony on closing day evening, informed friends in advance about the ceremony; at closing we learned that somehow missed to transfer PECO power to our name. Called PECO to learn, power can be restored only next day. We were in verge of cancelling the ceremony. She helped us a lot to get the Pooja going as scheduled. l highly recommend her to any one who is in need of good Realtor.

Bela made the buying and the selling process extremely easy, her knowledge and her patience were invaluable assets to us making this whole experience one I would do again in a heart beat.


Shamena Russum Buyer and Seller Downingtown PA
We worked with Bela for both the sale of our previous home, and the purchase of our current home. Throughout the process, Bela displayed her in depth knowledge of the Downingtown area, and her willingness to go above and beyond to provide us with the most updated information and best value. She always made herself available, for us, and for negotiations with our buyer/seller, which sometimes went well on into the night!

In the end, my husband and I sold our house to a great couple, and are living in our dream home, all thanks to Bela Vora. I would recommend her to anyone looking to purchase in the Chester County area.

Bela, thank you for your hard work to get both of our deals done!


Kenny Lucky, Home Buyer Coatesville PA
My recent house purchase was the smoothest and easiest of my six purchases over the years. Bela was most pleasant and always ready to assist me in any way. She kept me abreast of the process all the way. I highly recommend her to anyone in the market to buy or sell property. Thanks Bela!

Bela is an excellent Realtor. She did an outstanding job with the recent sale of our home. She came in with a strategy for selling our home, and a sales and marketing plan. We liked the fact that she was clearly representing us as the sellers and marketed herself to us by laying out what she would be doing for us. She negotiated strongly for us with the buyer and was with us every step of the way. We strongly recommend Bela to anyone needing a top-notch Realtor.

Munish Helped me buy a home, Downingtown, Chester county
One of my key criteria for selecting a real estate broker was broker's honesty and focus on my interests rather than pushing for a deal to make quick buck. We had wonderful experience with Bela and were completely satisfied. Throughout the purchase process she kept our interests in mind and helped us navigate through the process. She is very responsive and always on top of all required documentation. I highly recommend her.

Elise St.Pierre, Buyer Village Walk, Downingtown, Chester county
My husband and I choose Bela Vora as our buyers agent in January of 2014. My husband started a new job in Coatesville, PA and neither of us were familiar with Pennsylvania, so we had not seen any of the areas near Coatesville before we decided to buy a house of our own. Bela helped us learn a lot about the areas surrounding Coatesville and showed us multiple properties in the different areas, she was very knowledgeable and was able to provide us with answers to all of our questions. She was incredibly patient with us, since we were open to seeing a variety of houses and did not have any real specific preferences, other than living in an area that had a low crime rate in a good school district. 

Once we found the property we wanted she worked hard for us to negotiate with the sellers on a fair price, and helped us negotiate closing costs, we did not have a lot of upfront money to spare after our move. Bela faced quite a few challenges since a relocation company purchased the property from the original owner, but she was diligent and stayed on top of receiving a timely response from them each and every time. We were grateful that she helped negotiate needed repairs on the property after the inspection process, which saved us money! She also provided information about choosing a mortgage company and because of her help we were able to close on our house within a month. We are extremely satisfied with the service we received from Bela and would highly recommend her. Bela and the folks at Coldwell Banker made our house buying experience a good one!


Sankalp Home buyer Aston PA - Garnet Valley
Bela helped me buy my first home. I highly appreciate her due-diligence and honest advices. I found her very supportive and responsive. She helped provide with good data points to help me make the right choices and was very supportive throughout the process of buying the home.

“Bela is a wonderful professional and person. She provided helpful insight in how to market our home successfully with an accurate listing and quick home improvements. This resulted in a fantastic offer in just eight days. Bela was able to lead us through the negotiation period with ease and gave us peace of mind. Not only did Bela help us sell our house, but she offered valuable guidance during the search for our new home. She provided honest and critical feedback on each house we visited that assisted us through the home buying process. In the end, we achieved our goal of purchasing and moving into our new house before our baby girl entered the world. I highly endorse Bela as a realtor and would recommend her to anyone. She is a caring person that looks out for her clients on both personal and business levels and we are happy to consider her a new friend.”

Beautiful spacious kitchen and bathrooms sizes were the kind in single family homes. She is settling down well, moved in last week and is very busy furnishing and stocking up new home . Thank you so much.less


Danielle, Helped me sell a home
I am very grateful to have met and worked with Bela during the process of selling my home. She was absolutely wonderful, honest, and supportive throughout the whole process. My home was a short sale, and she worked very hard negotiating with the bank, reducing my stress, explaining each part of the process, and making the entire experience as easy as possible for me. Bela truly cares about her clients and is very knowledgable in her field. I highly recommend her to anyone needing an agent!

Suzanne Little - Buyer, Coatesville

Did not buy the home because circumstances changed and they moved to Florida.   


Thank you for being such an awesome realtor! We wish you could've helped us down here, we found that the realtors don't have your wealth of knowledge or personality to help us choose a house that was best for us. We will certainly continue to refer anyone in PA to you that we learn is looking!

A lovely personal note from my buyers who wanted to buy in a specific neighborhood.  No Active listings, I found them an ideal home and successfully completed the sale with a FSBO (For Sale By Owner).  "...You were very professional, friendly encouraging and tough when you needed to be.  We truly appreciate your hard work and the excellent job you did!"

David Senghaas Buyer, Garnet Valley
Bela was the greatest. Without her, I would never have bought my home. She went above and beyond the call of duty. She stayed in constant contact, fought for me every step of the way, supervised the mortgage company process, and ensured that my dream house and I went to settlement. In all, she took care of me like a big sister. Warm, intelligent, trusting. Coldwell Banker is extremely fortunate to have her on their team. I whole heartedly recommend Bela as your next and only realtor.

Swapnil Kulkarni


















Buyer - Applecross, Downingtown, PA.

I met Bela for a resale listing which already had a pending offer on a home buyer portal. Bela is an expert in her area of work and extremely trustworthy. She is very creative and very punctual and provides great value to the home buying process. She took time out of her busy schedule to have deep and detail oriented conversations to understand our housing needs before making recommendations or suggesting listings and provided rational and practical feedback on the must-haves and nice to haves. She does not waste the client's time by painting a pretty picture but states the facts as they are. She is extremely patient and meticulous in her planning. As a realtor, we made a great connection that facilitated conversations and advice above and beyond her scope of work in areas like Home inspections, Home Finance etc.... She makes it a point to be physically present with the client at every step of the home buying process which is a daunting process and advises the client with realistic and practical advice that allows you think and make a decision. We recently closed on our dream first home and have been very fortunate to have worked with Bela as our realtor and trusted advisor.

I highly recommend Bela Vora and would be happy to connect her with any interested prospective home buyers in the Pennsylvania area.

Thank you for everything Bela!

Lovely flowers from Buyer, Windsor Ridge Chester Springs, 2013

Even though we did not get the house (and I know you are as disappointed as me), I still want to thank you for all your efforts from last Friday until today. You are professional and also dedicated to get things done. I understand that we don’t always get what we want in life (L), as long as we have put in our best efforts, we call it success (rather than failure).
I am moving on to the next search with you! It’s a pleasure working with you!

“We hired Bela to sell our house in Chester Springs this summer during this very difficult housing market. We chose Bela over others because she presented a very thorough and professional plan as to how she would market our property demonstrating her expertise in diverse ways to differentiate our home through traditional and new social media techniques. We put our house on the market hoping for the best but with realistic expectations in terms of the time it might take and the price we could obtain. Right from the beginning we were pleasantly surprised with the amount of interest Bela generated in the property and before we knew it, we had an offer right at our asking price!! Every step of the way Bela went above and beyond making herself available to handle all the details of the transaction, which was crucial for us as we had already moved out of the area. She sent regular updates and summaries so we always were informed as to the events of the most recent week. We recommend Bela without hesitation to anyone looking to sell their home in this difficult market. Bela goes above and beyond to set your property apart from the competition and handles all of the details effortlessly.” October 23, 2011 LinkedIn
