Featured Testimonial
by Bob
I first met Lisa about ten years ago when she helped me find a house to rent. Fast-forward to this year and looking to buy a house I again reached out to Lisa. I re-introduced myself, not knowing if she would recall, but was immediately welcomed like little time had passed at all. She and her team immediately got to work understanding what I was looking for and getting the process going and bringing a positive energy to the home search process. She also put me in touch with contacts including mortgage and insurance that I may need to make sure I was prepared to move quickly when a home came available that I would want. Lisa was always available to take my call as I reviewed new listings and wanted to set up a showing. Eventually a property that met my needs was found, and Lisa helped immensely in securing a contract and closing a short time thereafter. I highly recommend Lisa and her team at Wenzel Select Properties for their personal attention, knowledge of the market, and simply a being positive experience working with them.
