Featured Testimonial
by James & Rita
After the great rent hike at the end of 2022 beginning of 2023 with our first child being only a few months old, my wife and I decided to start the search of our first home. Lisa was recommended to us through my friend who used her multiple times. At the start we were FHA qualified and didn’t fully understand the process, the market, basically where to begin. Lisa and her team were able to give us both the knowledge AND background resources to get us into our first house. The process took almost 8 months and we lost many bids. With Lisa’s guidance after loosing bids simply because we were FHA we transitioned to conventional which felt like were were finally in the game.
After dozens of houses that “weren’t right for us” Lisa would always encourage us to keep trying and make herself (or her partner Melissa) available ASAP. Which I have to shout Melissa out because she went to ALOT of houses with us and made it happen with sometimes little notice. Lisa is the type of Realtor who wears her heart on her sleeve and will tell you straight about a place. When we finally found the house we wanted to make an offer on, she made it happen. The whole process was seamless.
Next steps on what to do, her preferred vendor list made it easy to make the close happen. Attorney (Check) Home Inspector (Check). What really impressed me with Lisa wasn’t just Lisa but the team and resources she brought to the table with her to make it happen. Thank you for all the help!
