About Us

Our History: Herbert Yentis & Co Realtors

Our dedicated team and hands-on service have kept us running for 100 years.

At Yentis & Co. Realtors, we are proud to be included in the 3% of family-owned businesses that make it to the fourth generation. We’ve been named a top family-owned business, and one of the oldest businesses in the Philadelphia region by the Philadelphia Business Journal.

What Makes Us Different?

Our team is available 24/7 to meet your needs quickly and effectively.

Our hands-on approach to customer service and the dedication and experience of many employees has allowed us to keep operating continuously for 100 years. We’ve worked hard to foster relationships and earn the reputation that we’ve passed down from generation to generation, like the way many of our clients have. One of our favorite tenants, Hymie’s Delicatessen, has been a Main Line staple for over 60 years. Hymie’s current owner, Louis Barson, took over from his father in the ‘90s. He still greets us with the same smile and comfort food that we’ve enjoyed with our family for decades. Family-owned businesses are the backbone of the American economy.

Herbert Yentis founded the company in 1921. He was a first-generation American from Ukraine who crossed the pond in 1908. He was a hardworking man that started and ended work when it was dark outside. Knowing the importance of putting family first, we’ve taken care to treat our employees like family. We have had 13 current or former employees work for the company for over 30 years.

We work with everyone – from family-owned businesses to large corporate tenants like Wawa – because we do it all. In an industry that’s become increasingly specialized, we are truly a “soup to nuts” firm. We do everything from ground acquisition to construction and property management, and even residential sales.

While we’ve evolved in many ways to expand our business to 18 municipalities and 13 townships, we’ve refused to compromise on customer service. We’re on a first name basis with every single tenant and always provide them with a senior level employee to manage their property.

Overcoming Adversity

A Century of Resilience, Integrity, and Service

Dealing with COVID-19 isn’t the first adversity this company has faced, and we’ve handled everything thrown at us.

Employees at the company endured religious discrimination in the 1950’s and tragedy struck towards the end of that decade when our head salesman died and Herbert Yentis had a stroke that same weekend. Our business was targeted in the 1980’s because we sold property to Black families in the neighborhood. We received angry letters and phone calls and even had our windows broken twice. We’ve always been proud to serve all our tenants, property owners, and clients with the same high level of professionalism and respect.

We are proud to celebrate over 100 years of serving Greater Philadelphia and are excited to see what the next century brings!
