by Jonathan & Kristin
Lisa helped us with our search for over 2 years. She was very patient and we never felt rushed or pushed to make a decision on the multiple homes we went through. When we finally found our home, Lisa was determined to make sure we would get the house. The house had multiple offers and Lisa worked very diligently to make sure our bid was accepted. With her persistence our bid was accepted. Thank you to Lisa and her team for all the hard work to help us find the perfect place for us to call home.
