6 Questions With Venture Philly:

Denise Shcherbina Shares Her Favorites, Real Estate Advice, & Info For New Residents to Philadelphia.


Meet Denise.

Born and raised in Pittsburgh, Denise moved to Philadelphia in 2021 after visiting friends and family for years and falling in love with it at first glance. You can catch her at Reading Terminal Market or at the Art Museum with her puppy on most weekends. Denise’s goal is to ensure your real estate experience runs as smoothly as possible, and that you feel confident about every step of the process with her by your side.

 

What is your favorite Philadelphia neighborhood and why?

Northern Liberties has easily become my favorite neighborhood since moving to the city. Aside from the flourishing restaurants, night life, and beautiful aesthetic, Northern Liberties has grown and developed so much over the past few years and isn’t stopping any time soon. If you’re ever in the area, I highly recommend stopping in to El Camino and enjoying some great quality food paired with an even better margarita.

Why did you decide you wanted to get into the real estate business?

The real estate industry is constantly growing, evolving, and changing, and will always have something new to teach you. The potential to network is limitless, and I believe that the experiences we have to gain from the introductions made in this industry will apply in many more elements of our lives than just real estate. I think that the home buying process can be very intimidating and is one of the most important decisions in many home buyers’ lives. I want to ensure that I can make this process easier by making my clients as comfortable and confident in the process as I possibly can, whilst also making connections with people that will last far beyond a closing date.

 

If you were to buy an investment property in 2021 and plan on selling in 2026, which neighborhood would you target and why?

Right now, I think that Olde Kensington is one of the hottest places to invest. Located north of Northern Liberties and west of Fishtown, it is surrounded by thriving neighborhoods that have already seen growth in the industry over the past 5-10 years. Driving through the area, you can see tons of development already in the works, further reassuring that this area will likely be one of Philly’s newest and hottest spots in no time.

If you were entertaining an out of town guest who has never been to Philadelphia before, what restaurant would you take them to first?

Right now, one of my favorite restaurants in the city is Mei Mei. Not only is the food incredible, but the atmosphere, music, and energy in the restaurant is unlike any other I’ve been to in the city. Additionally, they have an amazing downstairs section that has a great ambiance to enjoy on a night out with friends.

 
 

When you're not assisting clients with their real estate needs, what do you enjoy doing in your downtime?

You can almost always catch me and my pup exploring the different parks and trails of the city. If I am not out with him, you can find me at the Art Museum enjoying the views of the city, or out and about finding new restaurants to recommend to my friends!

One piece of advice you would give a first time home buyer before starting the process?

As an experienced first time home buyer, my biggest piece of advice is to compare, compare, compare! It can be a very long and stressful process, but it is very important to weigh out all of your options each step of the way to make sure you are making the best decisions for yourself and your future. Also, don’t be afraid to ask your realtor as many questions as you need! That is why we are here, and we are always more than happy to help.
